What does it mean to be "spiritually enlightened"? Not... what most individuals think it means. That's one of the core messages in the new book Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing by Jed McKenna. When I was offered the chance to read this work I was in the midst of my own "path" to self-discovery and as things always seem to work out, this book came along at exactly the right time. Okay... okay... so it was a path to "no-self" discovery. Jed's straightforward approach takes the mysticism out of Enlightenment and puts it in the hands of everyday western "seekers". Written like "a week in the life" of an Enlightened Master, the book doesn't so much teach as it gives you the ground work to search out the answers for yourself. It helps tear away the false illusions of your life and points you in the direction of finding the truth. Mr. McKenna's writing style conveys a wonderful sense of humor, is excellent at building anticipation, delivers with impact, and exhibits his calm compassion for the individuals that have found their way to his "Accidental Ashram" in Iowa. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be "Fully Awake" but never quite grasped the Eastern writers—or you'd simply like another look inside "Enlightenment" then you'll find this book wonderfully insightful and refreshingly honest.
