"I regain consciousness almost daily."
If the goal of enlightenment to gain total consciousness of all actions and to do everything with a purpose and reason, then The Chemical Buddha rationalized that those among us who regain consciousness daily were truly the most enlightened. Unfortunately, no matter how hard The Chemical Buddha tried to apply this logic, he was only able to regain consciousness almost daily. That was because his blackouts would stretch for days and weeks. But he took solace in the fact that he was totally conscious of his unconsciousness and figured that made him just as enlightened as those who were conscious of everything.
Where in your life are you asleep?
What do you not want to know about?
What do you need to wake up to you in life?
What do you need to be conscious of today?

Believe and Achieve
"Attain total unconsciousness."
Despite what The Chemical Buddha may have us all believe, he found it very difficult to attain total consciousness. In fact, we're not even sure if he actually knew what that meant and/or required. TCB found it infinitely easier to become one with unconsciousness. (He also found plenty of drugs and different types of alcohol to help him.) Often, just before he 'became one with the black out' (or as he called it, 'the infinite darkness') he found himself praying to God even more. As in, "Oh God, please let me get through this night." And "Oh God, I feel like shit." Although we're not sure if he actually believed in God or not. We can tell you that all of his hard work in this area allowed him to achieve almost complete unconsciousness 24/7.
In your life, have you chosen the difficult path or the easy one?
Which path do you think would benefit you the most?
How do you react when things get difficult? Do you push on or give in?

Know Nothing
“I am totally conscious of my unconsciousness.”
Enlightenment is about being totally conscious of one’s actions. To know why one does (or does not) do something. To not be driven by emotional energy, but to do the next right thing. And right isn’t a right or wrong thing. Rather, it’s the things that feels right for you. It’s important to choose the moment, rather then letting the moment choose you. All of that said, The Chemical Buddha believed he was conscious of his action. Including those times he was unconscious. He knew that there were blocks of time he couldn’t recall. He knew that he didn’t know what he did during those unconscious times. So within his twisted gray matter, he was totally conscious of things he didn’t know anything about. We’re not sure how exactly, but that’s what made him The Chemical Buddha.
What do you think you’re aware of? And do you really think you know what’s going on?
When faced with the choice of doing what you think is right and what feels right, which one do you choose?
