All Teachers and Teachings are delusion. You have all the answers within you. The first step on the journey to Enlightenment is questioning all the beliefs and teachings you have ever received. Teachers/Teachings are a distraction/maya at the highest level. There comes a point where you need to trust in your own innate knowledge and derive your own insights into the nature of reality. Teachers make a living and lifestyle of selling you water by the river. You don’t need them. All you need is an insatiable desire for truth and then seriously contemplate reality and uncover all that is false.

I love his Enlightenment trilogy. I don't really care who Jed McKenna is, or even if he is enlightened or not, but he's a darn good writer.

Fake forum, according to Wisefool Press.

He doesn't/didn’t participate on social media.

Damn. It all started with Ekhart Tolle and Jed McKenna for me years ago. Didn't even know that he is a topic on this forum. Thank you.

I was quite certain that Jed McKenna is Adyashanti, but that's pretty good evidence that that is not the case. Maybe Adya read Jed's books and got influenced by him, because Adya does sound very similar to Jed sometimes. I could make a very long list of parallels between the two of them. But the most striking example is this line from the first book: "In a few years I'll ask her how the enlightenment thing is working out and she'll say 'Real good, thanks. Really getting a kick out of it. You?'" Adya said the exact same thing once to one of his students. He also made the "Sri Sri Avatar" joke. And I always thought that Sonaya is Mukti, Adya's wife. 

Ultimately, it doesn't matter who Jed is. Whoever he is, he is a great writer.

Now that he is deceased, I'm surprised his identity has not yet been revealed.

Lol

They sounds nothing alike. And why would Adya need a second set of secret enlightenment teachings?

This is the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard.

By this logic, maybe Trump is Jed McKenna.

You're right. How could I have been so stupid to think that Jed is Adya? Jed is an alien.

It's not that hard to find out what his name might be. Jed McKenna (pseudonym), born Peder Remmington Sweeney, later went by Peter Johnson.

Apparently, "We know Jed McKenna’s real name because when he registered the copyrights for his first two books, he certified to the US government under penalty of law that his real name was “Peder Sweeney” and that “Jed McKenna” was his pseudonym."

https://realization.org/p/jed-mckenna/who-is-jed-mckenna.html

(same link the above commenter I'm replying to posted)

Copyright claimant listed for first two books is Peder Sweeney.

"

Putting a false name on a copyright registration would be like putting somebody else’s name on the deed of your house, except it would be even stupider because it would be a violation of the law and would invalidate the registration.

If Jed McKenna really did that, he jeopardized his ability to leave the books to his wife or children in his will; jeopardized his ability to sign a contract with a publisher; jeopardized his ability to take legal action against infringers.

Nobody who is knowledgeable about publishing and business would do such a thing, and Jed McKenna — call him what you will — is very knowledgeable about business and publishing.
