Michael Hughes on "hot" social issues

ON ABORTION:

"I do not agree that Abortion should be illegal.

Our biggest problem is overpopulation."

ON POT:

"It puts them on the Imaginal until they pass out and it is no longer of use to them."

THE FUNCTION! THE FUNCTION!

"I never said just go ahead and destroy every ego in existence. All I said is what is a stomach for, what is an ego for?

Keep the ego but always be aware of its fuction and what is beyond that."

 

Michael Hughes on 'that ego-killing poison'.

In search of a country with an ego

"Alexis, shook his finger at me. He said, 'Listen to me young man, you better go get yourself an Ego."

THE THUD

"It comes like a Thud, oh shit! It isn't Anything (laughter).

But look at it carefully and it is a Self-realization with a capital "S" ".

BLUE

" I see this blue colour around you, you are ten more times Source now, ten times more Love."

THE ONLY KOAN ON TAMING THE OX

5. KYOGEN SAID:  "Zen is like a man hanging in

a tree by his teeth over a precipice. His hands

grasp no branch, his feet rest on no limb, and

under the tree another person asks him: 'Why did

Bodhidharma come to China from India?'

   "If the man in the tree does not answer, he fails;

and if he does answer, he falls and loses his life.

Now what shall he do?"

Mumon's comment: In such a predicament the most

talented eloquence is of no use. If you have memo-

rized all the sutras, you cannot use them. When you

can give the right answer, even though your past

road was one of death, you open up a new road

of life. But if you cannot answer, you should live

ages hence and ask the future Buddha, Maitreya.

MYKONOS PARTY

Philadelphia 76ers and so is my mom!

Shiva and Dionysus

Like a baby
who grows old
and
commits seppuku,
convinced
that life
has exhausted all other alternatives.

A good hooker in hell.
