Blue Collar Enlightenment- Spiritual Awakening for Extra-Ordinary People- My 2nd Book
Hey Everybody. This is the cover and introduction to my 2nd book. I haven’t written a single chapter, but will be writing throughout the summer. I NEED-CRAVE-DESIRE-DEMAND-DICTATE- your help please. (Was that spiritually-politically incorrect enough?) I’d like to do a trade: I’ll provide free one-on-one phone/skype consultations in exchange for you finding agents/publishers to send PR packages to and emailing them out. I’m interested in a major publisher this time around. You: Gets Awakening help. Me: Gets published. Please contact me via contact form on this website or leave a comment!!! Enjoy…
Introduction:
There’s a dirty little secret that has been perpetually hidden in the teachings of enlightenment for millennia now. It’s this: There is no such thing as enlightenment. Enlightenment is what’s left after you’ve given up on the search for enlightenment. Enlightenment is what remains when you have stopped obsequiously believing and following that annoying spiritual seeking voice in your head. It’s what’s left when you stop identifying with the “you” that is always seeking and demanding (not just spiritually) for more or better or bigger. Actually enlightenment shouldn’t even be called enlightenment- it should be call en-human-ment. That’s closer to the truth. There are a few elements to en-human-ment that one could point to and say- aha, enlightenment, but for the most part what is realized is surprisingly simple, natural and normal. So simple, natural and normal in fact, that I prefer to call it blue collar. Blue Collar Enlightenment- ahhh, that’s better.
The Spiritual Awakening Triumvirate: Triumph, Failure, and Paradox
I was gunna write “threesome” instead of “triumvirate” as part of the title for this blog, but this is the internet and I already get enough porn spam in my comment boxes. Yeah, Attainingpie gets porn spam. Things like- “Wow- I can’t believe how relevant this blog post was ! Visit Japan-dual-penetration.com for more great pics!” I’m a polite, gullible, and horny guy so I follow the link. Accck! I thought it would be a Japanese Non-dual Zen site with some -penetrating- koans on the heart of reality. No-sir. Two guys strapped in leather and…oh, well, you get the picture. Just saw some article about the rules of the internet. One of the them said: Nothing is Sacred. Yep. The internet (You may quote me) – It’s a Lamborghini that delivers a twinkie. In my case, I guess … pie.
On to business: Are you a seeker? Long on the path? New to the path? Thinkin’ about this whole Enlightenment thing? The whole non-dual Awakening no-self, realized-Self, who-am-I thing? The REAL Be-Here-Now spiritual experience thing? Well then, may I introduce to you three concepts, that penetrate fully into the heart of reality: Triumph, Failure and Paradox. You’re gunna need all three of these to make the journey. You ready?

Let’s cut to the chase; jump to the finish line; skip the introductions; go straight to the heart of the matter. Let’s say you had six months to live. Here’s a list of 21 things you should do in order to Awaken before those six months are up:

Read their books, watch their videos.

Eliminate negative or non-supportive people from your life.

Stop doing shit you don’t like to do.
Stinky Spiritual Awakening Happiness Parable – Part 1
Hey everybody- something different. This is spiritual parable from my book 21 Days. I think the principles of supreme-advaita-non-dual-awakening-realization can be best explained by farting monkeys, unhappy elephants, and over-intellectual butterflies.
This story has made people laugh, cry, and think long – about finding real happiness. It would be an awesome animated cartoon: Please tell your uncle who works at PIXAR about it. Please tell your DIRECTOR friend Steven Spielburg about it. Please tell your ACTOR cousin Jude Law or Jack Black about it. Please tell the SCREENWRITER who lives down the block about it. Please tell that children’s book PUBLISHER who takes his kids to the same school as you do about it. Okay well, at the very least, post this blog on your FACEBOOK page.

One day, Elephant woke up terribly unhappy. This was very strange for Elephant because he was usually a jolly soul; not today, however. Today, he was unhappy, and he couldn’t figure out why. He’d had plenty to eat recently. He wasn’t sick. No one was angry with him. No one he knew had made him sad. Even Hyena, who sometimes irritated him, hadn’t upset him. All he knew was that his heart was heavy and something, from his head to his toes, just didn’t feel right. He decided to ask for help from his friends Monkey and Butterfly.

The sun rose to its zenith, high in the clear mountain air. It shone down upon the three travelers as they plodded along the dry rock- and dirt-strewn path. Elephant swung his big trunk back and forth, assisting the momentum of his large torso and legs as he walked. Monkey and Butterfly were sleepy eyed as they jostled upon Elephant’s big back. It was almost high noon.

Time passed. The afternoon sun began its descent into the western horizon. Big Mountain shifted its gears and prepared for the evening liturgy. A gaggle of clouds rolled in and shrouded its peak. Wind whipped down its slopes. The temperature slowly dropped, and the leaves of the great fruit tree rustled with the change. Elephant awoke to a very strange sensation on his trunk. It was cold. It was wet. He opened his eyes. On his trunk had landed a single snowflake. Somewhere near the peak of Big Mountain, a snowstorm had begun.
Winter Blues, Existential Unhappiness / Depression, Enlightenment and Awakening
There’s a secret, esoteric, deeply private, metaphysical, magic skill I use in order to transcend the winter blues. I am going to reveal it to you right now. Are you ready?: I book a flight to Costa Rica or the Bahamas and stay there with my family for at least a week. Yes, it took me years to acquire this skill. Awakening to one’s true nature or transcending egoic separation is child’s play compared to this great avataric talent.
Teacher, Guide Transference / Transmission and the Awakening Enlightenment Process
Okay. Let’s talk about what I call transference and what a lot of teachers call transmission. There are two ways I can approach this topic: 1. From a pseudo-scientific hypothetical point of view & 2. From my own experiential point of view. I’ll attempt to do both. It’s an important topic and one that I think a lot of people are ignorant of, confused by, afraid of, or wigged out by. So let’s shed a little light here so you can stop whining about it, ignoring it, or denying it and can start taking advantage of it.
First of all, let me say- I am biased. I believe in transference; I sat with teachers who offered it; I felt it; benefited from it; and last but not least woke up because of it. No pansy-ass milk-toast opinion here about transference. If Walmart were having a holiday black friday midnight special sale on transference I’d be first in line, and I’d beat old ladies out of the way to get it ( Just kidding – gotta live up to P.I.E. namesake every now and then)
Awakening Ingredients and the SECRET to destroying the Death Star
So here we are. The final stretch. The final days of the twenty six thousand year long equinox precession. The end of the great Mayan calendar. The beginning of the new age. The Aquarian age. Is your vibration high enough? Has the great white brotherhood initiated you? Is your light body in tune with the super-divine energy of the universe? Are you pure enough? Enlightened enough? Perfect enough? Are you finally ready for Transcendence now that December 21st 2012 is here? Are the stars finally aligned for you?
Take a deep breath. Be honest now. Come on, really honest. Let silence settle upon your body. Let softness enter your mind. Relax. Let your guard down. It’s okay. It’s okay to admit- your answer to all of these questions is probably…no.
Spiritual Awakening and the 2012 Holidays. Are you Ready?
There is an opportunity available for you right around the corner. There is a gift in the air. There is an immensity brewing. There is an intensity set to trigger, ripe to pluck – waiting, waiting- for you dear reader to grasp, to absorb, and to make your own. Are you ready? Are you ready for the holidays- of 2012?
What I mean by ready of course is not the usual litany of material, commercial, stressed-out, calendar-based obligations. The ready I am talking about is accessed deep in the heart, at the core of your being, in the fundamentals of your humanity. This is the BIG ready, the one that has always been there, that has always beckoned you to return home, that has always hoped that you would one day take notice and respond. This is the BIG ready of your hearts true longing- to fulfill itself, to find itself, to BE here-now in this world. Are you ready for this?
