Product Description

Synopsis

Book One of Jed McKenna's Enlightenment Trilogy: 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. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for the mature and serious - not for 'bliss bunnies', 21 Oct 2003
By Geoff (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Jed McKenna's book is a delight to read. Its clarity and simplicity make it accessible for everyone. It provides an insight into the life of a modern day spiritual teacher, who just happens to be an every day guy like the rest of us. The book is not for spiritual seekers still looking for the extraordinary, for states of bliss, or for someone to bow down to in exchange for being granted ever deeper and more meaningful personal experiences. It is a book for those who want to cut through all the spiritual games and are prepared do what is necessary to discover Truth for themselves. It will also be useful for those new to the spiritual search. For them, McKenna provides a first - and possibly last! - step in the right direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars spiritual wake up: a neon signpost to truth, 23 May 2008
By Mr. J. E. Trickett "Tricky" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Reading this made me realize I've subscribed for years to enlightenment as the mystical ever-bliss gained through perfection of my "self" (my ego).
This book shows me how real Enlightenment is actually the complete process of hacking away at the ego to find what is really true. E is purely about realising the basic truth of my human life: that the ego - "I" - used to separate me from the rest of the world (and think to write this), is just a character I've come up with. The real truth of oneness is behind this complex façade. Jed says this takes 2 years of unravelling the many beliefs used to hold up our ego layers to get there. The huge shift in viewpoint doesn't mean that you'll be permanently blissful, but you will erase the fear of death (as well as public ridicule and self tax forms)

Jed still dons a minimised version of his old ego when a social necessity for decent conversation, enjoys the small things in life and is clearly enlightened. Think you may be? Apparently you'll know it for sure when you are. From this comes true spiritual freedom (while still hacking merrily at my own ego, Conversations With God 1 by Walsch, helps me best decide how to use this freedom from an unenlightened perspective)

3.0 out of 5 stars Undecided, 24 Mar 2007
By A. Gillies (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm undecided on how useful this book is today. On the one hand it does cut through a lot of the spirituality stuff which has become a religion in itself. On the other hand, as with all of these 'call off the search' books, the paradox for me is that calling off the search becomes another process for the ego to use! Also, I finished the book without being clear as to what he gets out of 'being enlightened', what he gets out of the 'truth' i.e. whats in it for him. I have a feeling that this book might have been pretty hard hitting a few years ago but may be less so today. I found both Steven Harrison's and Tony Parson's books which are similar in theme to be more useful in my search for enlightenment d'oh!!

Well, I feel that I'd be understating if I began to describe this book in "it will change your life" tones. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Sounding Brass in an Infinite Universe?
It's a good read, simply yet beautifully constructed, and it makes a great point, built largely around an embellished Plato's Cave metaphor. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A true enlightenment book!
Jed's book reads a lot like a novel which is a nice change from most other books on this subject. It's lighthearted but full to the throat with deep insights. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Jed likes to play Tomb Raider
He also likes cycling, walking, skydiving and Walt Whitman's poems. That sums the book up really, the ordinary life, simple, and just the way it is. Read more
