God = Dog

"I appreciate any religion that uses drugs during its ceremonies."
One of the things that The Chemical Buddha appreciated about most major religions is they all had some way for people to get fucked up/feel different. (He would have said all religions, but quite frankly he wasn't very familiar with Buddhism, let alone any other religion.) TCB found it funny that for humans to have a 'spiritual' experience, they had to feel different than human. This made him wonder if animals (since they weren't human) felt a spiritual connection we didn't. Then he noticed that dog was god spelled backwards. Coincidence? He didn't think so. Which is why he always prayed to dog god.
Do you believe in only what you see or do you think there is more?
What is your relationship to the people and things around you?
Do you look at the world with a sense of awe and appreciation or as something to be navigated through?

Dying to Live

“Live until you die.”
The Chemical Buddha noticed some people seemed to be worn out and mentally close minded while they were still fairly young, TCB was all about enjoying life. In fact, he was pretty sure life was the only thing worth living. Today’s insight was inspired by a friend’s dog: Buster, who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But when The Chemical Buddha saw the dog, Buster still acted as he had always acted. The news of his impending death didn’t stop him from sniffing people’s butts, licking his balls or playing catch. And, according to his friend, that’s what Buster did right up until the time he passed away. The Chemical Buddha thought more people should be like dogs. Besides, The Chemical Buddha thought it would be nice if he could lick his own balls.
Are you open to new ideas or do you find yourself clinging to what you’ve always done?
How does ‘bad’ news affect you? Do you dwell on it or get on with your life?
