After his trilogy, Jed has written a shorter and more insightful book about what he calls the Theory of Everything in which he tries to convey his enlightened perspective on life and tries to answer some of the most frequently asked questions by humans.

One of the most important things that reader can understand after reading this book is that there seems to be a whole different paradigm out there, and people who seem to be inhabiting this paradigm. Jed is one of them, who tries to explain an awakened perspective, which sounds impossible from my point of view. But we must understand that our close-mindedness can only take us so far.

Jed's Theory of Everything is based on an experience, not on a belief. Nobody is required to believe anything. Besides, believing this stuff might backfire, because investigation must happen from scratch.

Most importantly, as Jed says, BYOFT - Be Your Own Fucking Teacher. Kill the Buddha. Take ownership of your life and don't be depended on anyone, especially when it comes to finding out what's true.
