Ice-Cube & The Cult of Personality

[Guest guest]

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)
