Truth at any Price - Jed McKenna Tribute 1 of 6

[starbros1947]

Everything in this video is also a lie.

[nonglotter]

love it

[madcell]

Self realization is as simple as letting your energy go where it will, being ok with not knowing, not understanding, and not expecting any particular outcome. The truth is bursting through your subconscious all the time, it's your ego mind that puts on blinders, afraid of being aware. The outer world is also constantly pushing the truth, pushing for change. Death of the imaginary boundary is inevitable, but it can be delayed.

[dane7902]

I declare to this Jed McKenna: Truth can be found in ideas and concepts. It can come in a flash of insight. It definitely can be found in one's heart and mind. It is about knowing things: knowledge is essential to the process of finding truth. And above all the rest I emphatically proclaim to him: Darkness and despair are not the highest states of being in which truth is found. Truth is found in the Light of God and in the pure joy which emanates from it.

[nonglotter]

what is the black cloud?

[SpatialRiftUK]

Any relation to Terrance McKenna?

[dragonflies1]

derp

[Ronztrek]

"So the fuck what" Fucking awesome!

[blastdrager19]

Mh, if the thought "every thought & believe = false", is true, then that thought & believe itself is false as well, as there are no true thoughts & believes? So, yes mc Kenna has a point of saying the only thing u can do is to remove the lies and see what remains.

[christianthinker]

And you believe that the statement of "all beliefs are false" is a true statement? Is that right? I have never seen a video so absurd as yours. LOL

[guitarjeffmontgomery]

@christianthinker

Try prove any belief is true...

[iebie01]

@guillermusicona69 Does it satisfy you to make assumptions towards whether someone is awakened or not by a comment on a YouTube video? Or do you want to show that you are awakened? I find it interesting to see how much information you gather from merely some questions I ask. And it is flattering that you spend so much energy on commenting on my remarks. Thank you for making me smile today:-)

[StephenRoddy]

Excellent

[85226]

BRILLIANT!

[TheBluePoem]

Wow, you did a great job here! This vid fits all around, somehow...Who did the voice-over? Jed Mckenna (or whatever his real name is...) is just impressive and thought-provoking. I've read the book three times over the years and I'm still finding new things in it. But I guess, no one can understand his writing completely -unless one is fully awake. And enlightment seems not to be sweet, it seems to be more like you're hit by a bus in an accident:)- well, at least at first:)... Thanks f.y. work!

[technoSpiritOne]

the text is wonderful. what book is this?



[AhabCaptn]

@technoSpiritOne

text is from the book - spiritual enlightenment the damnedest thing - by jed mckenna

[solomonfaber]

@technoSpiritOne

Jed Mckenna - Spiritual Enlightenment, the Damndest Thing. My favorite book.

[e5i50]

Quite enjoy the bit about the black cloud starting around 4:00

[sakkurae]

what the fuck is this

[AhabCaptn]

The liar paradox is the sentence "This sentence is false." An analysis of the liar sentence shows that it cannot be true (for then, as it asserts, it is false), nor can it be false (for then, it is true)

[Cynthia31P]

makes perfect sense to me....not to the mind.(the mind can never know)..but to what is real..... the mind IS the separation....the REAL just is...

[christianthinker]

"All beliefs are false" ??? Is that a belief? If that is a belief then that belief is false too. So if that is the case this video has no meaning and it too is B.S.

[AhabCaptn]

@christianthinker

correct! I thought the same thing when I first read that

he is trying to make the point that NOTHING has meaning

this includes, the video, the book, and you and me

[19grand]

@AhabCaptn the truth lies between the words, it is virtually impossible to say or tell the truth with words.

[nonglotter]

@AhabCaptn oh you create a troll account to reply to your self you fucking pedophile nuthugher

[Essanach]

@christianthinker You're right to some extent and Jed himself said that to one of the people he was 'teaching' - that eventually they would have to discard his words too. Thorns to remove thorns. However, your statement was based on an assumption: that "no belief is true" is a belief. It may be belief to you, presently, so it's worthless. No point accepting it. But the same goes for all other beliefs. But what if you discover directly that it's true, so that you know, rather than believe it?

[guillermusicona69]

@Essanach excellent clarity essanach : ) words coming from seeing are not the same as words coming from considering. there's little point in commentating about jed's pointers. use them as swords to pierce you're own falseness, or dont use them at all... that is, if you want to know what is going on. otherwise, keep commenting and contrasting things, and you'll have enough distractions for a few thousand years more : )

[psychojewboy]

@christianthinker you hit it right on the nail. NOTHING has value. As he says at the beginning "to uncover truth you must undo the lies, and than all that remains is truth" Think of this as a journey to conceptual suicide

[premkhuda]

@christianthinker ......no..."All beliefs are false" is not a belief but the truth. Beliefs come from the outside,truth comes from your innermost core of your being.

[premkhuda]

@christianthinker 

[radauto1]

@christianthinker Good!! You're one step farther than most people in the understanding of what he means! Look deeper! There's more!

[nonglotter]

@christianthinker it is not a belief is a statement you fucking christian cunty little fucktard dickless troll

[shadowheart52]

@christianthinker Congratulations. Jed Mckenna would commend you himself.

[youshowghey]

i watched this and thought, i would really like to have this book

[homoporno]

everything is bullshit. life comes down to one thing and one thing alone, sex and girls

[linzsmith1981]

Why is everyone trying to intellectualize this? Didn't he say it's ALL bullshit? And if you don't understand then so the fuck what.

[chasethedreaminsd]

While this individual sounds very intellectual, some of his followers are real jerks. If they tried getting their point across with some manners, it would be better received.

[lysist]

@chasethedreaminsd if you read the books then you will come to understand that Jed does not want/need/accept followers....by following Jed you have missed the point. Ask yourself, "What is true?" and then go further. Brake down what you believe. Very simple and very painful.

[joyousexpansion]

@chasethedreaminsd Becoming a "follower" of Jed McKenna misses the point of the book.

[nigelp17]

Yes.

Om

[heartcompass]

"No Belief is True...NO BELIEF IS TRUE" Thank you Jed!!! I've been trying to explain this to people who want to create reality with their "beliefs". Why oh why would you want to create with something that is NOT TRUE??? <3 Thank you

[onespiritheart]

Jed sounds like Mr. Smith from 'The Matrix'! ;-))

[mirabelle7able]

TRUE

His books "THE GREATEST GIFT"that fall into my hands Jed " my midwife". Gratitude all over ..thank you so much

He showed me all darkest places possible..

The EX seeker, the goeroe -chaser,my holy mother , healer, helper,teacher,the new age bullshit lover , You name them i played them all in full conviction(so sickening!)

reading the books and writing a lot ( a year of HELL )Truth can be so painfull but finally such a release.. Thank you ever so much ..You,r a beautifull killer !

[ramadu53]

@mirabelle7able

Thanx for sharing this. There is hope then. I wish i would die in this sence i know it's truth.

[jesuisravi]

So what is oneness? Must be this.

[iebie01]

Did any of you got the point Jed McKenna is making in the books? How can you be talking about opinions, good and bad, truth and false, inner and outer, etc? Why the urge to make something mystical of it by adding images and music? Why creating a tribute?

Do you think you have awakened? Reconsider...

[AhabCaptn]

"Why create a tribute?" I don't know, seemed like a thing to do at the time, that is why I did it

[iebie01]

Fair enough. Did you enjoy it? At least I enjoy the comments on it:-) And the images to me are a collection of very nice expressions (forms) of what is.

[neapolitan500]

@AhabCaptn @iebie

For some reason I agree with both of you.

[TheAstonMartian]

@AhabCaptn Who am I?

[guitarjeffmontgomery]

@AhabCaptn

I wrote Jed and he said, "Follow your desires."

:-)

[philinmotion]

@AhabCaptn and I thank you for it.

[thekingsofheart]

The point is that no belief is true. No belief is true. You believe they are making something mystical out of something. That is a belief. No matter how much you want it to be otherwise, it is merely your personal truth, an opinion you have of what enlightenment is and how it should be, how others should be, it's a judgment, a farce. Have you awakened? Reconsider.

[maynoth]

the music and images are awesome, and add really add to this.

[guillermusicona69]

@iebie01 within the dream, everything is legitimate. it seems much more powerful to share things that point towards truth, away from the dream, than to share things that just get you more deeply in illusion.

it's perfectly fine for reality to do what it's doing. specially, and including, captan ahab here making these beautiful videos.

your comment, even though it is obnoxious and clearly coming from misunderstanding and illusion itself, is also perfectly fine. good luck awakening friend!

[MrCropper]

This video is false.

[Scorner99]

True.

But what it signifies... is TRUE!

[Tobster0784]

@Lemur09:

Enya - Athair Ar Neamh

[Lemur09]

Anybody know the background music of this video?

[dijibeat]

We are all "ONE"...

[cbaxley]

What is "ONE"?

[peterhndz]

to, not with

[peterhndz]

any relation with terence mckenna? i can't seem to find immediate info on this.

[SalfordQuays]

His brother I believe...I'm sure I found some stuff on google...seperated at birth if you ask me ;)

[AhabCaptn]

just a correction - Jed and Terence have nothing to do with each other - the Name "Jed Mckenna" is a made up pen name but an unknown author

[cbaxley]

No. Terrence was into something else.

[hesrei1]

I think they were into the same thing, but sought it in different ways.

[AmberFlame1]

This is great, of course for those who care to listen

[PaulaGillugo]

Truth, there is NOO truth, yet...

[MrYakrider]

Further!  great vid, great books.

[MainTightSqueeze]

It's about unbecoming false.

[jensonlee74]

Meine Fresse. Ihr Esoterik-Freaks denkt wirklich, der Weg zur Wahrheit wird angenehmener, wenn man Sie in ein paar nette Bilder packt und mit meditativer Musik unterlegt? Mir wird schlecht, wenn ich sowas sehe und ich denke Jed würde sich nen Ast ablachen, wenn er so einen Scheiß hier sehen würde.

Ich unterstelle dem Produzent dieses Videos, dass er nicht einen Satz von Jed wirklich verstanden hat.

Schönen schlaf noch...

;-)

[Pratiksho]

seh ich auch so. das ist sülze. die musik, die bilder, besonders die stimme klingt wie in the secret. ich habs bei 1.23 min gestoppt.

[AhabCaptn]

maybe so..who knows?

[Kamatehaka09]

truth !!

[kderules]

wow that was excellent

[AhabCaptn]

thank you

[jwdenn]

All three videos made as tribute to McKenna are outstanding . The first one is the pick of the litter , IMHO. I admire McKenna's tough-guy attitude. Hit em hard, Bro !  Thank you , Ahab !

[AhabCaptn]

thanks! Yeah this first one is powerful, It came from the most important part of his first book

[PanuLyytinen]

Thanx. This is beautiful.

[luscioussoul]

I've found that there's even further beyond the void...! . Beyond Jed

Btw ,What about seeing God , Didn't you guys ever thought of that ?

[Xenoliquid]

Read this book at your own risk!

[MessengerMan1980]

Well, then if I were to leave a comment here of my opinion, it must be bullshit. lol I like this video. It contradicts itself in so many ways. I hear in his voice some pain. Must be that infinite dark cloud he's on. Look out people. This sounds like atheism. Funny. It does ring true, because it's a belief in HIS reality. Not ours. :)

[ramadu53]

@MessengerMan1980 who is HIS? ANd who the hell are 'OURS"? Brr, mind boggling your concept!

[MessengerMan1980]

I understand where you're coming from with this... And HIS was referring to Jed McKenna... ANd Ours meaning everyone whom isn't Jed McKenna... :)

[shakantaza]

i love these books so much... like getting slapped when you really need it. it's almost really annoying i need to read a book to remember something so vital, but at least they exist to remind me to keep punching throught the eggshell.

also a must read is stephen jourdain's radical awakening, he's so similar in attitude.

"Find the one question; the exact question that ego doesn't want you to ask. Put your full attention on it. That's how progress is made. Everything else is a stall tactic."

[shakantaza]

also read - on having no head, douglas harding

i am that, (some indian dude)

hardcore zen, brad warner.

"..don't you realise that when you accept someone as a spiritual teacher, you do so by your own authority and choice? You yourself license the Bible, the Koran, or the Bhagavad-Gita as infallible. Wake up!" - Alan Watts.

[AhabCaptn]

yes Harding is great... a former student of Richard Rose I believe

[KellyJones00]

Choice quote from Watts. What should be added to that is, no one can authorise others, like a pope being elected by God, or a Buddhist dalai lama being elected by a group of Buddhist elders. A person assumes the responsibility of teaching by his own judgment, wrong or right.

[AhabCaptn]

I agree 100% Kelly

one of my favorite quotes from Watts is -

Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together.

[Proton1]

Yack, yack. :)

[Videodactyl]

I feel the same way.

[B92MURS]

its a shame there are only your three videos when you search Jed on utoob, better than none i guess. when it comes to making sense these books take the cake. WE ARE

[Truthisallthereis]

Thank you so much - Nobody seems to want truth. I know you are speaking truth as I am going there. I started off from letting go of thinking I knew anything, and fell into the lap of unknowing which can be a dark place because you begin to know that you have been living in the darknesss of ignorance. But this glimmer of truth in the darkness is a light which gets bigger with time

[AhabCaptn]

great comment

so true!

[gpoyt]

But what about Jesus? And all the "good" gods like Allah, Bouddha, Shiva etc... i just prefer to say i know nothing but i know there is a good god that created us and that is the creator. That we must follow his words through this dark cloud until the end. This is my reality.

[KellyJones00]

gpoyt, Allah is certainly not good, but one of the most vicious, sadistic fantasies humans have imagined. A Buddha isn't a god, but an awakened one, and any human can become awakened.

To say "we are created by goodness" is a bit too hubristic for me. Gawd, just look at the state of human society, how many species we extinguish through our obsessive self-interests.

[TomTIGER69]

wow so perfect your back thanks the best and at the perfect point

[Motown025]

Moving yet frightening. I wonder why?

[ringer737]

welcome back (your eye is unmistakable).

love, tom b

[elisabetii]

the truth is that nobody wants truth and if that's all you'we got left then there's very few to share it with - you made my day! thank you so much...x

[AhabCaptn]

thank you so much!

[Videodactyle]

No words.

[developermct]

Never gets old! Awesome!
