Asking Booboo Again Back
to Gaffer's Archives.
People are still giving me questions to pass on to the Great Booboo.
I managed to get an audience recently and here are his answers
to the questions. If you have a question that you would like me
to pass on to Booboo, click on Ask Booboo to send E-mail.
Booboo, what is the purpose of the universe?
It's just a place to hang out.
How large is the universe, Booboo?
The universe is very, very, very tiny but it takes up a lot of
space.
What is the nature of the elemental particle of the universe?
There is no particle, elemental or otherwise. There is only divine
energy which our limited senses sometimes perceive as things.
Why can't we see things as they really are?
The Divinity does not wish you to be frightened to the point of
terminal dysentery. It would stink up the place. Hence, you are
given comforting illusions.
Booboo, what is the nature of the way of Zen?
Zen is a way of looking at things without eyes or much of anything
else. It's an intellectual way of connecting the dots.
Is fasting good for us?
It is when it's not bad.
How long should we fast?
When plain Yogurt sounds good, it's time to end the fast.
Should we participate in political activity, Booboo?
Absolutely! Vote the in's out and the out's in, every chance you
get. It keeps them off balance.
Booboo, why did God not provide for all our hungry people?
She did. The distribution is in your hands.
Booboo, should we pray for peace?
If you wish. It would be more useful, however, to desist from
all your aggressive behavior. Take a clue from Ghandi.
Are you saying we should turn the other cheek?
No! No! You need not go around mooning people. That could provoke
anger.
What can we do about all these evangelist who insist on telling
us how they have found Jesus.
They are just poor simpletons. You must try to patiently explain
to them that Jesus was never lost.
Where is the best place to pray, Booboo?
In your heart.
When can we achieve peace, Booboo?
Peace is a state of mind. You can have it as soon as you let go.
Would it help to disarm the Irish people.
No. The Irish were fighting with sticks and stones before arms
were invented.
What is the meaning of post mortem?
It's just a new breakfast cereal for real old people.
Booboo, why are some of us more successful than others?
There is a trite truism, "You become what you pretend to
be."
Of course, Booboo. Everyone understands that.
Just so, you dolt! But winners know it in their very soul.
Do you mean that my success is up to me, Booboo?
You're damn right!
Have you given yourself in service, Booboo?
Indeed. When Minerva speaks through me, I serve Minerva. When
she does not, I'm a bad tempered cat, and a perfect pet for one
particular person.
Booboo, how may we deal with past problems, mistakes, and injustices?
You deal with them by letting them go.
Can we do anything about the craziness in the Middle East?
No. Read history. Abraham's children have been murdering each
other for centuries. They are the only ones who can change that.
Can't God change it?
Not without making them into marionettes. God can only weep.
Will we ever have an end to war, Booboo?
There is hope. Many things will change in the new millennium.
It is really up to you.
