Jason Gregory: Enlightenment Now

What if enlightenment is already within us? Spiritual philosopher and independent scholar Jason Gregory explores the nature of enlightement and keys to understanding our true liberation. Jason is a teacher specializing in the fields of Eastern philosophy, Western esotericism, comparative religion, psychology, culture, and ancient civilizations. Jason's new book is Enlightenment Now: Liberation Is Your True Nature, in which he draws on Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist wisdom to address how to access the original spontaneous awareness we all came into this world with. He exposes the illusion that we must strive to reach enlightenment, uncovering how our yearning for future accomplishments, attachment to the past, and reliance on authority outside the self are social constructs that distract us from the reality of the now.  Also the author of The Science and Practice of Humility: The Path to Ultimate Freedomand Way of the Weirdo,  Jason has searched ashrams, monasteries, and temples in some of the most remote places in the world. Jason has lived in Asia for several years studying the philosophy and culture of the East and how it can benefit civilization in the modern day.
