Question Nothing

“Organized religion is like a spiritual comb-over. Just do what everyone else does and you’ll still look spiritual.”
The Chemical Buddha loved all forms of religious dogma and tried to incorporate as much of it as possible into his enlightenment through pharmaceuticals movement. Just for the record, he saw dogma as doing things without understanding the reasons for doing them. He counted on people being cattle like that and not questioning the concepts he put forward. And, for the most part, it worked. People were happy to share their money, drugs, and significant others with TCB. Especially when he countered any of their arguments that pain was a great teacher and the human condition was suffering. So by dialing up his students suffering he was speeding up their learning and cutting down the time it would take them to reach enlightenment. But to be honest, he didn’t have to give the reasons behind his teachings very often.
What do you do without thinking about the reasons behind it?
What do you do in your life that causes you pain?
