Product Description

Book Three of Jed McKenna's Enlightenment Trilogy: Guns and bombs are children's toys. A true war wages, and you're invited. IT'S AN INVITATION you may not be able to accept if you want to, or decline if you don't. It's an invitation to fight in a war like no other; a war where loss is counted as gain, surrender as victory, and where the enemy you must face, an enemy of unimaginable superiority, is yourself. Spiritual Warfare issues a damning and irrefutable indictment of its own audience and genre, putting spirituality and religion themselves on trial. Spiritual Warfare is a sharp-edged book for those who want to experience a direct and authentic spirituality.

end game
Having read all three books and having initial difficulty with the TONE, I have come to feel that as a body of work with progressive evidence of detachment from ego and identity, they are extraordinarily useful. The MP3 books were a better experience than the print versions.
They are hilariously useful as he elucidates what enlightenment is not. Soggy, moony, dreamy, kind, blissful...tantric, Hindi, Buddhist, Zen...nicely read and fashionably accessorized.
And what it is, an increasing distance from believing you are a mind or body, while being viscerally intimate with all of it. Being human, without the usual stagecraft.
A life in which the question "why the hell not?" is increasingly unanswerable.
Like Adyashanti, this guy is a closer. If you are near the end of teachers and teaching, a friend indeed.

A grand finale to the trilogy
This book marks a grand finale to Jeds enlightenment trilogy and he goes out with a bang. There is no holding back in this book, he says it like it is and doesn't tip toe around anything which stands as a block to TRUE enlightenment - He's a hard hitter for sure.
The book is wrote in his usual novel-ish style, fullly packed with truth, only this time he really doesn't beat around the bush. He tells of how he works in the flow of the universe, which makes all his desires come about without effort - something like manifestation.
I think Jeds books are recommened reading for anyone who is SERIOUS about enlightenment. Another strong book I read called Finding Reality is similar in approach and is also very helpful.

Am I missing something?
I really liked Jed's first book. While this book has some interesting things to say, I couldn't help but feel, especially toward the end, that the author is writing not from his experience but rather from what he has gleaned from whatever spiritual books he has read. It lacked a certain authencity for me.
