Back in 2010 I put up a post called "Non-dual cartoons point way to enlightenment (or not)." It started off with...
One of the favorite people crazed cartoon characters I follow on Twitter is MonkMojo. I've learned a lot about non-dualism and Zen from reading his clever tweets.
Saying that, of course, means that I haven't learned a thing. But who gives a shit? A smile is close to enlightenment, which is one of the idiotic cliches that MonkMojo enjoys demolishing.
Here's some sample MonkMojo tweets. (RT means a re-tweet; what follows the || is MonkMojo's add-on).
RT @Yojinbo: wasn't impressed w/ the response I got from Houston Zen Center when I was in prison: no response. || Sounds pretty Zen 2 me ;)
Me to wife: While you're out there doing all your "important" stuff, I'm tweeting the fuckin' answers to life!
RT @TaoTeaKing: @MonkMojo i don`t believe that you got "the point" . Believe me ... :-) || Pretty much sums up my life. ;)
All I want to do is hang on to my stories and die bitter. Is that too much to fuckin' ask?
RT @amoz1939: Being excluded / Agony undergoing / The loss of good friends #haiku || Fuck'em ~#itiswhatitis
RT @ookiee: What's more important: that you believe in God, or believe in yourself?|| Which hot coal should one grasp more tightly? Neither.
Kindness happens, then a me swoops in and kills it with a my.
MonkMojo morphed into Mojo1000, who morphed into 2020mojo. The dude (anyone called 2020Mojo clearly deserves that appellation) is a master of pseudo-spiritual aphorisms.
Except I'm not sure why I added "pseudo," since I like 2020mojo's pithy Twitterisms more than most of the spiritual crap that litters my bookcases.
You can read them by clicking on the link. Here's a sample of some recent tweets that I like.
I’m not sure if I'm here now, but I'm certain I wasn't there then.
You gave up your truth to help maintain balance in the system. Fuck the system.
Becoming demystified is a mystical experience.
Do we have a lot in common or are our delusional trances just overlapping at the moment?
You people mean a lot to me, so I just wanted to pause for a moment and send all of you a hug and some inappropriate touching.
Goddamnit, I left all the cool shit in my repressed unconsciousness.
Hey fuckers, I'm learning about respecting emotional boundaries.
I’m not looking for answers here, I’m looking for fellow explorers.
What does it mean when your wife keeps saying words at you?
“We're fucked.” - The first human conscious thought.
You can’t hide in the now forever, the past is on your heels and the future is coming for you.
I'm all in on this present moment stuff, but it’s helpful to understand what the fuck happened.
I used to be anti blame-it-on-your-childhood, then I finally took a look at mine. There’s gold in them thar hills!
I remember when God used to watch me masturbate. It was weird, but it made me feel important.
There is nothing special about awakening, it is your natural state. An absence of drama may be the only sign.
They tried to beat the me-ness out of me. What the fuck were they thinking?
That broken feeling you have deep down inside is what having a soul feels like, or it could just be gas.
I couldn't live in the truth, it’s way too uncomfortable, but I usually feel better after a visit.
Super nice people don’t give or receive honest feedback, that’s why you want to choke them to death.
Western psychology helps me to identify the issue, Eastern philosophy helps me to loosen my grip on it.
The multi-billion dollar spiritual business is becoming about as bad as religion.
Yet, in spite of it all, here you are, inexplicably triumphant over nothingness.
All the scientific hard evidence we discover is within a mystical realm we call consciousness.
Deep down inside I have an inner life coach that must be on acid or something.
What you refuse to accept, the world will creatively find a way to shove up your ass.
“I'm spiritual but not religious.” is code for “I’m confused but not super cluster mega fucking confused.”
Personal growth consists of your angry “I don't give a fuck.” becoming a peaceful “I don't give a fuck.”
