how to be spiritual(in 2 minutes)

to understand spirituality, you’ve gotta do drugs, get fucked up on weekends, and have sex with anything with a pulse

yeah, i know what your thinking.

“TF IS THIS CRAZY DUDE SAYING?”

hold up — lemme explain.

a spiritual life is one of HARMONY.

in perfect resonance with the world
connected to the Infinite
tapped into the Universe

whatever you wanna call it.

but to ME — spirituality is about understanding what REALLY matters.

the things that TRULY matter to you and ENRICH your life.

and in order to do that,

to reach virtue,
you must go through vice

you must SUCCUMB to vice.

how can you be virtuous if you’ve never been vicious?

how can you reach the peaks of human experience if you’ve never traveled through the deep, dark caverns.

so go engage in your vices.
befriend them.

snort some coke.
call up a hooker.
buy all the booze your body can handle and hop into a 2-week bender.

but here’s the caveat

while you engage in all this, practice mindfulness.

build your meditation or awareness practice

then, all at once, your life will flip.

one day, when you half naked about to “do the dance” with a stripper,
or about to take the next bong rip,
or pour yourself another whiskey,

you’ll realize.

realize it’s all empty.

that satiating this earthly desire only leads to more suffering.

and that rising above them,
making peace with them,
not completely abandoning,
but creating harmony with vice.

you’ll rise above it all.

go do it,
call up your high school ex and grab a drink,
pack the bowl and take a rip,
do whatever you gotta do.

man will not know the beauty of light until he stands shrouded in darkness.
