Publisher Comments:
Author, teacher and spiritual master Jed McKenna tells it like it's never been told before. A true American original, Jed succeeds where countless others have failed by reducing this highest of attainments--Spiritual Enlightenment--to the simplest of terms. A must-read for anyone on the spiritual path. (The e-book version contains 20 pages of exclusive bonus content: A preview chapter from Jed's next book and two interviews with Jed McKenna.)

Not Enlightened Yet, June 6, 2007 (view all comments by Not Enlightened Yet)
I enjoyed reading this book. The author bridges the manifested world with the un-manifested by cleverly interweaving his message into a narrative of events on and around an ashram in rural Iowa. The story is so well written---on par with a best-selling fiction novel---that unlike many books on the subject, I found it difficult to put down.
Unfortunately, fiction may be all it is.
Search the web and you'll not find much record of Jed McKenna, in spiritual circles or otherwise, except in the form of book reviews or more articles in his own hand. One web site even jokingly has a picture of an invisible man next to his name.
I found nothing from anyone claiming to have met him or to have seen his ashram, but plenty of speculation that the book was written under a pen name. One web site noted that the story and underlying message resembles that of the late Richard Rose, but he's unlikely to be the actual author (Rose died of Alzheimer's in 2005).
The publisher seems as elusive as the author.
The publisher's web site, which boasts only two titles and another on the way, all by McKenna, has no contact information at all except for an 800-number for ordering books, and the web site's domain is registered through a company that specializes in protecting domain-owners' identities. An independent web site lists an office address for the publisher in Iowa City, which to me suggests that the book is probably published, essentially, by the author himself.
All this could simply mean that the author wants to protect his privacy and/or keep the focus on the message rather than the man, but for me, it?s difficult to accept as fact the author?s claims if I can?t corroborate his existence.
Nonetheless, I'm glad I read the book. The message made me recognize and re-think every assumption I had of what spiritual awakening is like or about. I would just take the author?s claims with a grain of salt, at least until he appears on Oprah or something.
