Jed's second book is deeper than the first and in some respects better.

Customer Reviews

The Truth
The book is one of the few that tells it like it is - we are all enlightened but don't know it. Jed is a wonderful, humorous and down to earth writer who makes spirituality real clear. If you are serious about your seeking I highly recommend this book.

Memento mori friends!
As one fortunate enough to have nabbed an advance copy of part three,"Spiritual Warfare",let me tell you that Jed saved the best for last.If "incorect" made you a little uncomfortable,then "Warfare" may not be for you.If you are the sensitive,church going type at all,then you need to turn away and RUN now,`cause this one lays it all out and takes no prisoners,with a brutal kick to the head in every chapter.You have been warned!That being said,it is easily the most entertaining of the three as well.Say what you will about Jeb,but the man is one hell of a story teller.In fact,I`m into my third read right now.An outstanding,one of a kind book!

Simply Ask Yourself This Question...
Would an enlightened person consider suicide a viable alternative to confinement to a wheelchair or a bad case of the hiccups?(Paraphrased sentiments from "Spiritual Warfare") If, like me, you believe that honoring life is basic to any true spiritual teaching, then you'd be justified to pass on the teachings of Jed McKenna.

Nowhere to be found, the author has to date, been left unaccountable for his writings. He manipulates readers into a gullible stupor with clever tales of alleged interactions with attentive yet utterly hopeless pupils. His disgust for them, and us, is apparent. Actually, it's unlikely that the events ever took place. Even Jed McKenna himself, as Jed McKenna, may very well not exist. To me, it all comes across as fiction and should be labeled as such. Therein lies my only real objection, albeit a strong one. The author convincingly preaches a path that most likely would lead to depression, anarchy and destruction. The imperfect world seems unbearable to the Jed McKenna character, who is portrayed to fantasize about his own death and even looks for opportunities to cause it.

"Spiritual Warfare" begins with the story of Jed McKenna running from armed policemen who, out of boredom, he has taunted. The little adventure ends with an officer threatening to kill him if he moves, leading Jed to seriously consider the option of turning his head to end his life. Really fun, enlightened stuff!

The author's esoteric "method" of enlightenment, called "spiritual autolysis," is utterly impotent. You are asked to attempt to prove the truth of anything, and supposedly the inability to do so leads to your enlightenment. So I ask, does the inability to prove something make it untrue? And how do you prove its UNtruth? Also, at what point does enough proof equal truth? In essence, how much proof do you need to accept the truth of something? A livable life is built on levels of acceptance, not proof. So how is Jed's method not an exercise in futility except to receive his permission to call yourself enlightened and cool like him.
Don't believe this imposter.
