Product Description
Product Description
Jed McKenna is a one-man spiritual revolution. His first book, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing, was an instant classic and established him as a spiritual teacher of startling depth and clarity. Now, his second book, Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment, takes readers on a fascinating tour of the enlightened state as it's never been seen before. Not to be missed! Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment Isn't One Kind of Enlightenment - It's the Only Kind - THE MARK OF A TRUE MASTER is that he can express a subject of the utmost complexity with uncanny simplicity. Jed McKenna is such a master, and spiritual enlightenment is his subject. - His first book, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing, was an instant classic and established him as a spiritual teacher of startling depth and clarity. Now, his second book, Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment, takes us on a fascinating tour of the enlightened state; what it is and what it's not, who's there and who's not, how to get there and how to get somewhere better. - Delightful surprises abound, including the dramatic unveiling of perhaps the greatest spiritual masterpiece of all time¿long hidden in plain view and well known to all. Whitman, Melville, Thoreau, Mark Twain and U.G. Krishnamurti all appear, and a student from the first book returns to share her Spiritual Autolysis journals. Also surprising are the author's gentle efforts to guide the reader away from enlightenment toward a more desirable and accessible state. ... Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged, - Missing me one place, search another, - I stop somewhere, waiting for you. -Walt Whitman ... - Jed McKenna's books aren't for everyone. They're for people who are tired of the spiritual merry-go-round and ready to confront the unadorned reality of the awakening process. If you like your teachers with all the spiritual trimmings and trappings, Jed may not be right for you, but when you're ready to jump off the merry-go-round and begin your journey, Jed McKenna is the guy you want to see standing there... waiting for you.

Jed McKenna is no ordinary author. He has written a trilogy of books that are easy to read and very entertaining, yet at the same time exceptionally profound. These books are nothing short of excellent, in fact they're so spiritually advanced that a lot of people might quite simply not realise what true gems they are.
Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing is the first in the series and announced the arrival of a major new voice in modern spirituality. Jed McKenna pulls no punches, but tells it like it is. It's probably not to everybody's liking, in fact some people might find his approach a bit upsetting, as he obviously seems more interested in truth than making you feel good. The second book is called Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment and is every bit as good as the first one. It contains a very interesting and enlightening in-depth discussion about Herman Melville's book Moby Dick (Wordsworth Classics), as well as more of Jed's hilarious and outrageous experiences and profound insights. The third book, Spiritual Warfare, might well be the best of the three books, and is even more uncompromising and direct than the first two.
Jed McKenna speaks of enlightenment and spiritual awakening, and does so without sugar-coating it. This is not for people who want something nice to play with, something pleasant to doze off to or some new belief or theory to occupy themselves with. Jed McKenna doesn't provide any kind of self-help and offers no tools for self-improvement. It would be more accurate to say that he encourages a complete dismantling of the self, instead of developing or perfecting it. His message is a stark and unforgiving wake-up call, yet it's all written in the most charming and eloquent manner possible. These are spiritual books in the very best meaning of the word. If you are serious about spiritual awakening, you are likely to find the weird, wild and wonderful writings of Jed McKenna truly enlightening.

The Damnedest Thing was always going to be a tough act to follow. Granted, a lot of the 'take no prisoners', muddy, bloody pursuit of truth themes find their way into this book, but at the same time, McKenna introduces a parallel.
He rather grandiosely claims to be the only person ever to have properly understood Moby Dick, Melville's sprawling classic. Agreed, there is a compelling case to be made regarding the whiteness of the whale, the wildness of the sea, and the singlemindedness of Ahab.
However, it is just as plausible - in fact, far more likely - that Moby Dick is Melville's fledgling attempt at coming out of the closet and dealing with his feelings for his friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Indeed, the later, strongly homo-erotic themes of works like Billy Budd should lend a clue to this.
So, overall, not a bad book. However, it spends too long barking up the wrong tree to be a proper addition to the spiritual lexicon.
