For those of you who remember Tano from ST Forum, she has authored an ongoing story on a web site where she goes into great detail to 'out' a man she is convinced is the author of the Jed McKenna series of books. The website is really well put together....no doubt, she's driven to show he world what she deems to be "the real face" of Jed McKenna.... I've always had mixed feelings towards the author of these books (based upon the character and material portrayed in the books themselves), and must say after reading Tano's expose, I have very mixed feelings about what she's doing on her website. For one, she's bought into the idea, hook line and sinker, that the Jed McKenna of The Invisible Guru forum., is absolutely the same Jed McKenna who authored the books. I'm just not so sure. I had a few exchanges with the guy who runs the forum, and my B.S. meter sounded pretty strong. I get the sense the guy who runs the forum is capitalizing on the fact that the author of the books has chosen to remain anonymous....and that he's used a pseudonym of authorship. Anyway, in the end, I do not know for certain either way...just my sense of things. Below is a link to Tano's forum...am curios to hear other's opinions about it: enlightenmentmyth.com/jed-mckenna-2/ |

That's a lot to read. I read a couple of things, can't really make much sense of it tbh. I think she probably knows what she is talking about, may well be right about at least some of it, but she might be a bit crazy. Or at least as crazy as me he he.

Laffy and Reefs must have drank the cool-aid because they have always defended his conceptual folly.  |

Laffy has for sure...He is quite literally bathing in the cool-aid (oh, oh, this whole forum might disappear on that note....  )......but Reefs, as far as I recall, has never been an overt fan of Jed's.....Bakk HAS been, which is interesting, 'cause I always have gotten a similar energy sig. from both her and Reefs...but that one difference has stood out. |

Haven't really followed the story behind Jed at all . There obviously seems a weird energy at play . Does he say he is S.R? I would say that if he was, why all the mystery, sounds a little daft to me .
Just be who you are, innit .

We don't have to do anything about that , isn't it? We don't tell flowers to just be who they are. |

It allows him to claim (well, sort of claim, as it could be argued that the Jed character is fictional) that he's Enlightened (& yes, I'm pretty sure he also says no person gets enlightened, blah blah...) without having to expose himself in any way, which means, as a spiritual teacher, passing the scrutiny of judging eyes, which is always inevitable to some degree if you're gonna put yourself out there, as one who is SR, enlightened. My main question with Tano's expose, is whether she actually has the right guy or not. As I see it, There's not much evidence that the dude who started the forum actually is the author of the books. |

Yep, we are already what we are, why hide our identity behind a girls blouse or take another name and pretend to be someone else? Makes no sense to the self realised ... just be yourself innit . |

Make sure to tell that to any seekers you meet and they will instantly awake and stop suffering isn't it? |
