“Life is both precious and worthless.”
The Chemical Buddha saw both the value and valuelessness of life as true. When it was his life, it was the most important thing in the world. (Although he might have treated his body like it was anything but replaceable. Of course, when you believe in reincarnation, why would you need to take care of this body anyway, when you’ll just get another.) But when it came to the lives of others, if they weren’t doing something for him, he could care less about their lives and what they were (or were not) doing with it. The Chemical Buddha saw himself as a spiritual general whose life must be preserved at all costs. And he didn’t care how many privates he needed to send out to be killed in order to accomplish that.
What do you value about others? How do you treat what you value?
What do you value about yourself? How do you treat what you value?
About The Elvis of Enlightenment
- The Chemical Buddha
- Not much is known about The Chemical Buddha (as he preferred to be called) other than he was a crack baby with fetal alcohol syndrome born into a family of hippie hedonists. Throughout his life, The Chemical Buddha sought spiritual enlightenment through excess. To put it quite simply, he saw himself as the Elvis of Enlightenment. While still in his-mid twenties, The Chemical Buddha left this earthly plain for the last time while beer bonging chicken gravy and shooting heroin as he engaged in an orgy that included at least four members of the amphibian family. His last coherent words, before he asphyxiated on vomit that was not entirely his own, was “Nirvana. Choke! Gag! Cough!” Did The Chemical Buddha transcend his earthly bonds through his unorthodox lifestyle? Did he find the key to “Nirvana?” Or was he answering a music trivia question? Here is a collection of the thoughts, sayings, views and bathroom graffiti that has been attributed to The Chemical Buddha. Was he a mystic sent to show us the way or just another drugged out freak that incoherently babbled a few crude views about life? Decide for yourself. This blog of his teaching is maintained by his "monks."
