Hello from the chilly midwestern region of the US! I've joined today because I just finished a book that's left me wondering about the spiritual community nowadays, mostly in regards to books/authors. My background includes several years spent researching the thing referred to as enlightenment so I do have some experience in the field of books of spirituality, it's just been a while. Things sort of died down for me more than ten years ago.  Authors like Wei Wu Wei, Nisargadatta, and Rose were of great interest to me at the time but I read a lot of what got placed before me so I do have some knowledge of what's out there as far as books go. The book I recently finished was The Theory of Everything by McKenna. The book caught my attention because the excerpt I sampled before purchasing was an explanation of something that reflected my own thoughts on the topic almost word for word. So of course I was curious about what else he had to say so I bought it. I had read his trilogy in the recent past but had no idea this newer book existed. I thought he was done!  I'll save my final thoughts on the book for another day. :-) I don't remember ever coming across an author/book that attempted to describe the "after" in my previous years of reading but I've been out of the loop for quite a while. So my question is this....is this a territory that some authors are now attempting to enter, in their writing? Or is this something only Jed has done? Is this a new trend or no? Very curious I am. If there are others out there doing the same thing can I please have names? Would love to see what they have to say. Any comments welcome! |

You might want to check out a fellow named Fred Davis has a few books out a very nice website not sure where you can goggle it but he does spend time on post-awakening issues if this is what you mean. Ok found him here you go awakeningclaritynow.com/Also my own teacher Robert Wolfe has 2 excellent books Abiding in Non dual Awareness and Awakening to Infinite Presence |

Any comments welcome!hello penny, it's great when we find that within oneself is much the same as others in, and we had it all along. You an Mc would be linked then, you will find as you explore the esoteric realms. You may find a friend in a Female Writer, Cron, who recently published STORY GENIUS. The brain, although in two compartments, most likely is the reason our minds invented duality. Welcome to the Kingdom of Keys.  I hope you enjoy being here. |

I don't remember ever coming across an author/book that attempted to describe the "after" in my previous years of reading but I've been out of the loop for quite a while. So my question is this....is this a territory that some authors are now attempting to enter, in their writing? Or is this something only Jed has done? Is this a new trend or no? Very curious I am. If there are others out there doing the same thing can I please have names? Would love to see what they have to say. Hi Penny and welcome! Adyashanti has an audio book (which was then also made into a printed book) called The End of Your World, which sounds like it fits your description, although I haven't listened/read it. |

She seems to have researched and documented the lives of teachers 'after'. Interestingly she documents the problems many face through sleeping with students to not being able to hold down real relationships for many, not all. An author you may want to look into. |

Thank you bluey, I'll definitely add that to my list of books to check out. :-) You're welcome I have a library of books where people bring and share over for another. I teach to the ordinary. They seem to share over more. They seem to be ready to understand this state. Fall in to it very easily in a very, very short time. That's been my experience. It's very underground but even Ramana can't keep up with this track record. 😉 |

It's very underground but even Ramana can't keep up with this track record. 😉 I came across an article about a university which opened without any teachers called 42 where the students teach each other, this began in Europe which reminded of a group of ordinary people who have a meet up in a cafe near to where I work. They always meet up to discuss eckhart tolles book. I can see how open they are to just listening and sharing from each other. There's seem to be a shift of more of this to come. |
