Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.27/5 from 11 reviews This is the book for you.Do you thirst for truth like a drowning man for air?If not, don't bother to read this. If you do, first read McKenna's previous book- Spiritual Enlightenment- the Damnedest Thing- and then, this one. Here are some other questions to help determine if you really want to buy this book: (1) Did you love Melville's classic novel Moby Dick but not really understand Ahab's madness? Would you like to? (2) Do you sense that all spiritual and religious tenets, practices, sects, and techniques are all variations of the same frenetic movie script? (3) Are you willing to bring up every single vestige of fear you have ever been programmed to identify with- fear of death, loneliness, pain, shame, guilt, stupidity, ridicule, depression, hopelessness, angst? Is truth worth that much ? Really? (4) Could you do it without believing in anything- without a religion or teacher- just to clear away the tons of inner debris and then see what, if anything remains? I have read hundreds, if not thousands, of allegedly spiritual books. Many narcotized me, some intrigued me. These two books have touched me at a cellular level, yet ego has just barely dipped its toe in the ocean.......... Trust Yourself. . .That's it!What I love about this book is that regardless of what he tells us, Jed reminds us that we are indeed our own best experts. There is no outside authority that can tell us otherwise. If I had to keep only five books in my entire library, Jed's two would definitely be there. But, that's just me, I trust that when I encounter what is necessary for me in my journey, the key will appear. Jed may be that key for you, or may not. Check him out and trust yourself! | ||||||||||||||||||
For those of you interested in all things related to the search, Enlightenment, self-improvement, self-development, or the Great American Spirituality, this is the book for you. With his second book, Jed has answered the only possible criticism I could have given his first book, namely, does he have advice for those interested in growing up instead of waking up. It turns out he does and this will lay it out for you. Interesting and entertaining, with "Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment," Jed McKenna has reinforced my deeply felt appreciation for his style and skill. For anyone who has ever felt even a mild curiosity about the larger questions in life, give this book a go, I can think of no other author I'd recommend more highly, and if in the end you think you're in for the no-nonsense game of true awakening, you can easily pick up his first book and get started, but as the wise men say, "Better never start..."
