Spiritual Enlightenment : the Damnedest Thing

Book • 2002
In 'Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing,' Jed McKenna presents a unique and uncompromising view of spiritual enlightenment.

The book critiques common spiritual practices and the reliance on external authorities, emphasizing the importance of self-inquiry and the technique of spiritual autolysis.

McKenna argues that true enlightenment involves questioning all beliefs and assumptions, leading to a state of non-dual awareness.

The book is part exposé and part how-to manual, explaining why many seekers fail to achieve enlightenment and how they can break through these barriers.
