Fuel Injection

“Inject a new reality.”
The Chemical Buddha was deathly afraid of needles. And if he were still around to ask, we’re sure he would say it was the needles that killed him and not the heroin. But that takes us away from the lesson of today’s insight. What TCB would want you to take away from this is how he overcame his fear of needles. And by walking through that which terrified him, he was able to experience things he never dreamed imaginable. In fact, he might have never been able to attain the level of enlightenment he eventually reached. Therefore, he would not have become the TCB we all know, love and follow today. Of course, The Chemical Buddha was already really stoned when he first had someone inject him and he squealed like a baby pig, but that’s another story.
What are you afraid to do?
Is it possible you may find something worthwhile on the other side of that fear? Maybe places you never dreamed imaginable?
