Jed McKenna

We are programmed from birth to believe that our existence is an unsolvable riddle, but if we make an honest effort, then we discover that mystery itself is the riddle. Not just what is the big mystery, but why is there any mystery at all? And what if there isn't? What if the Mysterium Tremendum is just an internal belief without any external counterpart? What if the answers to life's biggest questions are simple and obvious, and hidden in plain sight? If you're interested in striking through the mask, then you'll be relieved to know that there is a theory of everything that makes perfect sense, that doesn't rely on the religious or scientific chicanery, and that you can understand easily and directly. And if you're familiar with Jed McKenna and the Enlightenment Trilogy, then you know it's not just a theory.

A must-read for anyone on the spiritual path. 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 by adding to the world's collected spiritual wisdom, but by taking the spirituality out 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 exposi 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. "Absolutely marvelous, splendid, perfect book!" Shri Acharyaji

Jed Talks #2: Away from the Things of Man

It is what it is, they say, but is it? Jed McKenna has always been more about destroying questions than answering them, so it's no surprise that Play is more Q than A. In fact, it might be viewed as a progression through the stages of self-inquiry, each of the seven vignettes taking us a bit further along on the inward journey, the early vignettes asking the questions, and the latter ones looking at those who do ask; showing us, promising us, warning us, where honest and relentless inquiry really lead. But who, Jed has asked, really wants to go where this road really leads? On this journey, who you are changes with every step, and it's all about taking the next step. In the end, Play is what it is. Or is it? Maybe it's the journey of the examined life, or maybe it's just a playful little play. Ultimately, of course, Play, like life, like anything, is whatever it is to you.

A Play by Jed McKenna

Play

If life is but a dream, to what do we awake? The central premise of Dreamstate: A Conspiracy Theory, is the admittedly ridiculous but incontrovertibly true assertion that the universe does not exist. This is something you can understand conceptually, like watching a documentary about Antarctica, or experientially, like moving to Antarctica. There’s also a related phenomenon where you fall asleep watching the documentary and wake up in the frozen wasteland. That’s gotta be weird, but the truth is that you’re asleep in a barren wasteland dreaming that you’re not, so that’s where waking up gets you.

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.

A MASTERPIECE of illuminative writing, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing 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. :: Book One of Jed McKenna's Enlightenment Trilogy.

Thus Spake Jed Mckenna

Si la vie n’est qu’un rêve, à quoi nous éveillons-nous ? La prémisse centrale de L’état de rêve : la théorie du complot est l’affirmation certes ridicule mais indéniablement vraie que l’univers n’existe pas. C’est quelque chose que vous pouvez comprendre conceptuellement, comme en regardant un documentaire sur l’Antarctique, ou empiriquement, en déménageant en Antarctique. Ou grâce à un phénomène lié où vous vous endormez devant le documentaire et vous réveillez dans un désert de glace. Ça doit être étrange, mais la vérité est que vous dormez dans un endroit solitaire et désolé en rêvant que ce n’est pas le cas, et que c’est là que vous vous retrouverez en vous réveillant.

La Teoria del Tutto di Jed McKenna La Prospettiva Illuminata

Wir werden von Geburt an darauf programmiert zu glauben, unsere Existenz sei ein unlösbares Rätsel, doch wenn wir uns wirklich Mühe geben, dann entdecken wir, dass das Geheimnis selbst das Rätsel ist. Nicht nur, was das große Geheimnis ist, sondern auch warum es überhaupt ein Geheimnis gibt. Und was wäre, wenn es gar keines gäbe? Was wäre, wenn das große Geheimnis nur ein innerer Glaube ohne äußere Entsprechung wäre? Was wäre, wenn die Antworten auf die größten Fragen des Lebens direkt vor uns lägen? „Wenn der Mensch schlagen will, so schlag er durch die Maske! Wie kann der Häftling denn ins Freie, wenn er die Mauer nicht durchbricht? - Herman Melville Alle, die durch die Maske schlagen wollen, werden eine Theorie von Allem begrüßen, die Sinn macht, die sich nicht auf religiöse oder wissenschaftliche Schikane verlässt und die leicht verständlich ist. Und diejenigen, die mit Jed McKenna vertraut sind, werden wissen, dass es sich nicht nur um eine Theorie handelt.
