@Ecce Homo: Thank you very much for your elaborate post, I really appreciate it! Let me chew a bit on it and come back to you later because I really have to go to bed now (it's 3 am here). Quote:

"Wake up first. Wake up, and then you can double back and perhaps be of some use to others if you still have the urge. Wake up with unapologetic selfishness, or you're just another shipwreck victim floundering in the ocean, and all the compassion in the world is of absolutely no use to the other victims floundering around you." Hope this quote may be of some use for you. It was for me. |

| Interesting thread on Jed.........
I found this thread extremely interesting, as I have never read of anyone claiming to have actually met the elusive Jed before! Would love to hear more about your meeting with him............have read all his books, a few times........  |

| thanks for posting this
Thank you! I had no idea who Jed McKenna was before this thread. In this past week, I've torn through the 3 books of his trilogy. Not only are they entertaining; they're some of the most useful stuff I've encountered in a long, long time.

@Xtal: There's a fourth book called Jed McKenna's Notebook which is basically a compendium of the bonus chapters that you get when you buy the e-book versions. It's a joy to read and highly commendable, too. @Ecce Homo: You're 100% right, I'm so full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I gotta stop being full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Don't hold your breath, though, it's gonna take a while, I guess... @StandardDeviate: Thank you for pointing out the obvious. See comment above. Well, to work, then... |

Just read the first book, and my brain is ****ed. On one hand what's the point of enlightenment if what Jed describes as enlightenment is true. Better to enjoy the ride/illusion since we're going to get there after death anyway. But I can't really go back to doing everyday stuff knowing what I know now. The "what if" will always be at the back of my mind. I don't know if I'll be able to go through the other two books without my head exploding. |

You have a healthy sense of humor. You are at the breaking point but, not quite into it yet. Most people in your spot are quite panic stricken. If you are not feeling sufficient discomfort where you are now, then you may not go forward. One way of knowing will be if you are inspired to read his other books. If not, then it just isn't time yet but, it will be soon. You cannot go backwards once you have had a glimpse so, it's just a matter of time for you. Keep up the humor. I love it. |

 | What is enlightenment? a simple summary of what Jed has been trying to say in his writing, if you don't get this, then the universe doesn't want you to get it...lol |
