About this ebook

From a Spiritual Master Unlike Any,
A Spiritual Masterpiece Like No Other

AUTHOR, TEACHER AND SPIRITUAL MASTER Jed McKenna tells it like it’s never been told before. A true American original, Jed succeeds where countless others have failed by reducing this highest of attainments — Spiritual Enlightenment — to the simplest of terms.

Effectively demystifying the mystical, Jed astonishes the reader not byadding to the world’s collected spiritual wisdom, but by taking the spiritualityout of spiritual enlightenment. Never before has this elusive topic been treated in so engaging and accessible a manner.

A masterpiece of illuminative writing, Spiritual Enlightenment is mandatory reading for anyone following a spiritual path. Part exposé and part how-to manual, this is the first book to explain why failure seems to be the rule in the search for enlightenment — and how the rule can be broken.

Says Jed:

The truth is that enlightenment is neither remote nor unattainable.
It is closer than your skin and more immediate than your next breath.
If we wonder why so few seem able to find that which can never be lost,
we might recall the child who was looking in the light for a coin he dropped in the dark because “the light is better over here”.

Mankind has spent ages looking in the light for a coin that awaits us not in light and not in dark, but beyond all opposites. That is the message of this book: Spiritual Enlightenment, pure and simple.

The book has some very good but basic points. It has an atheist-ish feel to it so if you are just starting to question your beliefs, you might get something out of it. My only complaints are the number of times he reminds us he is enlightened and we are not (its in every other page), and that the students he lectures sound like superstitious 9 year olds.

This is the last one you'll need to read. So poignantly simple, yet something bewilderingly difficult to explain. Such fun!

Jed is a truly enlightened guy with honest and to the point conversations and remarks. Truly remarkable and poignant. Thanks for sharing and leaving so many sign posts.
