Say What?

"Seek not a good teacher. Rather, seek a good dealer."
From time to time, The Chemical Buddha had doubts about his path. When that happened he sought out spiritual teachers for affirmation that he was on the right path. After listening to them prattle on and on about clearing one's mind, releasing attachments, turning things over to a higher power and such, he was sure he had chosen the correct path. Especially when he talked with his favorite dealer who recommended some hydroponic pot from Amsterdam that the dealer said would, "Make you stupid." And to TCB, that sounded like clearing his mind. Besides it was a lot less of a hassle.
Do you hear what people actually say or do you hear what you want to hear?
How often do you twist situations to serve your world view/agenda?
What is the result of that twisting (if and when you do it)?

More is More

“Less is truly more only after years of smoking pot.”
Every spiritual teacher will tell you less is more. The Chemical Buddha suspected that was because they wanted you to have less so they could have more. But the only way less is truly more is by smoking pot. Pot is the only drug reported to have a reverse tolerance. You actually need less of it to get high, as opposed to other drugs which you constantly have to up the dosage for the same result. (Personally, The Chemical Buddha was too fucked up to remember how much pot he needed to get that way. Let alone if he needed less over time.) Most hard core drug users are trying to get back to their first high, which can never be done because there will never be another first time. The same can be said for material possessions, money, square footage, etc. People are always chasing that feeling of the first time and therefore want more, more, more.
What can you not seem to get enough of?
How might having less actually help you appreciate it more and make you life more manageable?
