Jed McKenna's Theory of Everything: The Enlightened Perspective

Give a man a match and he’ll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

You were never a dot, you were always the sheet.

To be anything is to be

Having undergone the process of untruth-unrealization, I am left not in an elevated state of superior knowledge, but in a knowledgeless state of superior elevation.

I see everything, I understand everything, I know nothing.

We all draw a line between what we believe and what we don’t. This line is different for everyone and can move around a lot in the course of a lifetime.

The great mystery isn’t a problem of logic to be solved, but a thousand-headed hydra of emotion to be slain. We can call that hydra Maya, but it’s really you.

But why bother? Leave truth to those who can’t leave it alone. It’s literally nothing, a singularly pointless achievement. Who wants to be the only sober adult at a party of punchdrunk revelers? Everyone is shitfaced on false-knowledge – gods and prophets, seers and sages, philosophers and scientists, kings and queens, your parents and teachers, everyone you ever knew or looked up to or prayed to – all of them completely besotted with belief,

Forget all the spiritual malarkey. We have our hands full just becoming who and what we really are, and overcoming the all-pervading fear that subverts this natural process. Adulthood is not a lofty spiritual attainment, it’s just normal development unravaged by the epidemic of fear. It’s the death of the flesh and birth of the spirit, and in a well-adjusted society we’d all go through it at puberty. It’s not spiritual or religious or philosophical o...

Human Adulthood is the one clear and universal course-heading; to, through and beyond, discovering who you really are and what the amusement park really is, and, most importantly, that there’s no difference between the two. The real point of understanding the C-Rex paradigm is not to get there, but to r...
