On the process of awakening-
"Here's a simple test. If it's soothing or comforting, if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy; if it's about getting into pleasant emotional or mental states; if it's about peace, love, tranquillity, silence or bliss; if it's about a brighter future or a better tomorrow; if it makes you feel good about yourself or boosts your self-esteem, tells you you're okay, tells you everything's just fine the way it is; if it offers to improve, benefit or elevate you, or if it suggests that someone else is better or above you; if it's about belief or faith or worship; if it raises or alters consciousness; if it combats stress or deepens relaxation, or if it's therapeutic or healing, or if it promises happiness or relief from unhappiness, if it's about any of these or similar things, then it's not about waking up. Then it's about living in the dreamstate, not smashing out of it.
On the other hand, if it feels like you're being skinned alive, if it feels like a prolonged evisceration, if you feel your identity unravelling, if it twists you up physically and drains your health and derails your life, if you feel love dying inside you, if it seems like death would be better, then it's probably the process of awakening. That, or a helluva case of gas"

Will the real Jed McKenna please stand up? Michael I've heard this before, Michael. Do you know what the deal is? Is he suppose to be someone else? |

Thanks for video, ahabcaptn,
I can't watch them on dial up,
but anything that is entitled "Truth at any price", I like!

WHAT WE KNow for sure is the name is not the real person(s) The best guess so far is it's a group not a single guy/gal Michael Will the real Jed McKenna please stand up? Michael I've heard this before, Michael. Do you know what the deal is? Is he suppose to be someone else? |

That quote is dead on.
I don't think that Jed is a group. I believe he's a well-known teacher who has exaggerated, twisted, and/or fabricated some of the stories and details.

Jed is the man. His books have power to cut through beliefs and clean up the thinking.
After reading the trilogy my life has changed and I never read another book since. (started writing instead)
I can not care less about jed, but his message is strong and it points to the moon- think for yourself.

Jed also makes reference to the reality that this so called spiritual journey is not peace/bliss and mung beans served up on kundalani rice. Its Painful as HELL, and only those who are prepared to sacrifice there own lives will do this. JED is the real deal. Yes it is true but very few believe this. I have posted numerous times what awakening is like with not a single member here agreeing. Since it's been my actual experience that one goes through hell and back when they awaken and Jed says the exact same thing I must believe it's true. However the only ones that can agree with this are the ones that have awaken themselves. If I had a choice and knew what laid ahead of me in order to awaken I doubt very much I would had gone through with it. Michael |
