I've just recently read two books by an author 'Jed Mckenna'
Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing
Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment
I found both of these very challenging and very enjoyable to go through. and i'd like to know if anyone around these parts has heard of or read either of these books, although there seems to be some controversy about whether Jed actually exists i believe its a case of the finger pointing at the moon, and the books are what i'd really like to begin discussion on.
After reading these books i found that my personal beliefs and many of my habits/desires simply dropped off like well fed leeches.
I also found myself hunting down articles on this site as i went through different stages of conciousness and had a small case of social drag(thanks steve the articles i found were a great comfort in my cases of despair). I attempted and still go back to a process called spiritual autolysis where I begin to write like journaling until i find something true. Its a rough process at the best of times , i enjoy it.
Anyway lets get the ball rolling for those of you who havent read/heard these books you might try reading this article
