In August 2003, virtually overnight, Jan Frazier experienced “a dramatic falling away of fear”–not just the immediate fear of her annual medical test but, as she learned as time went on, her fear of everything. She was “flooded with a causeless joy that has never left me.”
In this book the commonplace belief that enlightenment is only for saints comes apart at the seams. Anyone can be enlightened, and all we need to do is ask.
* This rare and beautiful account puts Jan Frazier solidly in the tradition of enlightened teachers from J. Krishnamurti to Byron Katie.
* Guns and money aren’t going to buy peace of mind. Giving up fear is.

Attaining liberation
By M. Biggs
Jan Frazier is an American woman, writer, teacher,mother, partner, as normal as they come. One day she utters a small prayer-could I please go to the (next day’s) mammogram without the usual accompanying fear?It drops away.What is more extraordinary is that from that moment, she has attained liberation- a state of complete joy and equanimity- which stays with her.This state of enlightenment is usually reserved for gurus, wise people of ‘attainment’, teachers. Some write about their experiences,many apparantly do not. Those on a spiritual path seek this state eagerly; it usually seems very far away, elusive.Here is a normal woman writing about an exalted state with clarity, passion and almost ordinariness .It suddenly seems possible for all who might long for it. What a gift! Inspiring, funny, sweet, articulate, her book is a beacon for seekers.

If this is enlightenment, no thanks!
By losfelizla
Where to begin? There is no spiritual maturity here. Although the author recounts convincingly her newfound lack of fear and anger, there is no sense that wisdom and compassion have taken up residence alongside her new sense of bliss.She wonders why people don’t notice “the change” in her. She wakes up each morning asking if “it” has gone away. After a disagreement with her children she wonders the same thing. Her boyfriend happens upon her giggling in a room for no reason which she ascribes to her advancing state of awakening. The author seems to be projecting her guru’s imagined life onto her own and her passion for her guru is at times unsettling. At one point she says after her “enlightenment,” she can finally meditate because her mind is so peaceful, not realizing that that’s not how meditation works. You meditate with what is, not when the conditions feel good.Most disappointing to me was an experience she describes at a gas station where she left her car in front of one of three gas pumps while she went into the store for something. Apparently it was many minutes before she went back to her car and there was a few cars waiting to use the pumps. The woman in the front car leaned out and said, “You are rude!” The author says she was pleased that she didn’t get reactive, and decided the best thing to do was to say nothing and drive off. Later when she pondered the situation she felt great compassion for the woman and the immense stress the woman must be under to behave in that way. Without spiritual maturity it’s easy to think that one’s greatest gifts are peace of mind and possibly mystical, ecstatic experiences. But really the wisest changes are true compassion and awareness, not spinning every experience so that it makes us look good and feel better. Even if in the moment she couldn’t bring herself to say to the woman, “you’re so right, that was rude, and I am so sorry,” an awareness of what happened and how her actions affect the world would be a step in the right direction.This to me is not enlightenment but an anomaly of the brain, which, while it would be great to learn from, reveals no ultimate realization of liberation. It seems as though the author (it’s telling that I can’t remember her name) has either suddenly found a way to impede the left brain and amygdala functions of fear and anger, or for some physiological reason her right brain has superseded these areas. Which of course would be interesting information to have. I wonder if she has had a brain scan.I sometimes wonder if Jack Kornfield actually reads the books he recommends. I don’t know what would be more disappointing to me, that he does not, or that he does and still recommended this book wholeheartedly.(To read about how impeding left brain activities brings a similar sense of awakening, read the remarkable book, “My Stroke of Insight,” about a brain scientist who suffered a stroke and fully recovered to tell the tale, ten years later. The author’s name is something like Jill Bolte…)

Have read many books on awakening…and have seen Reality
By Wysteria Books
Jan’s story strikes a deep chord. I did not want it to end. Of course I remember it never does. This is a rather beautiful pointer to the essential, the end of the spiritual path. Read it. Be truly here in this moment, and look very carefully. You will see it.-Thank-you, A.
