Subject: [k-list] Ice-Cube & The Cult of Personality
From: David Bozzi
On 2003/01/28 05:47, David Bozzi posted thus to the K-list:
Once I watched an ice-cube melt.
Time stood still
and a radical transmission of truth
was transmitted to and through me.
I was so deeply affected.
The experience taught me more than anyone or anything ever
and furthermore
I couldn't help but chisel an idol out of this experience
to present to everyone I met thereon after.
Because instantly I knew that
'Ice Cube' was the best guru ever,
...better then anyone else's hood-ornament of a guru.
Though the essence of Ice Cube's transmission
transcended all shallowness and immaturity
of brand-name loyalty,
I myself did not,
and so became somewhat addicted
to his various sculpted words and forms.
Actually, I don't like the word addiction.
I prefer the word, "devotee".
Anyhow, since I have been so gracious enough
to have been blessed with the wonderful and pure love
of Ice-Cube,
I have decided that from now on
I will quote Him to all my dear sisters and brothers
so that they too may come to love and embrace
the all-transcendental message that Ice-Cube transmits
oh so directly and clearly!
Ice-Cube Quote #1
"When you are cold,
surrender and die to the Heat of the Heart.
Allow all forms and names to melt..."
- Ice-Cube
Ice-Cube Quote #2
"Do not hold onto any preconceived notion
of who I am.
For who you think I am
(along with anything else I may say
that you might attribute to a personality worth perpetuating)
is not me.
...may we all just melt."
(That's one of my favorites. Unfortunately it is too long to put on a bumper-sticker)
This Sunday I went to a Satsang of 'Frozen H2O'
who is of the lineage of 'Ice-Cube'.
'Frozen H2O' imparts all the sacred teachings
of 'Ice-Cube' with such purity
that it brings tears to my eyes.
I highly recommend to everyone
that they go see 'Frozen H2O'
if she happens to cross their town.
I really enjoyed myself and found the peace radiating there
to be extra special.
(well worth the $10.00 admission charge to cover the cost of keeping 'Frozen H2O' solid)
There is no one like 'Ice-Cube'
In fact, by comparison all other gurus
kinda suck.
Here is another great and loving quote
that the great and wise Ice-Cube once said:
"You know, many who claim to be my followers
keep on quoting things I have said or talking about things
I have done. But they have utterly missed the point of my message.
My message is beyond the endless repetitions of what I have said
or brand-name loyalties or
making me out to be some sculpture to be placed on
some delusionist's shrine...
Heck, my message boils down to,
Just melt."
- Ice-Cube
When it comes to 'Ice-Cube' there is no other with respect
to simplicity, directness
and radical transmission of Truth.
Ice-Cube never beat around the bush
(he was an ice-cube for god's sake)
He'd just sit there in complete silence
and melt.
Which reminds of another Ice-Cube satsang
I once read about
where there were lit torches so close to Ice-Cube
that he began to melt.
One of his beloved devotees noticed and motioned
to the one in charge of torches,
when Ice-Cube stopped him and said,
"No. That's ok. That's the point!"
Everyone laughed.
Love David,
(solidly immature but ever so slowly melting)
