New Book – DEEP JHANA – Total Ego Annihilation
New book available TODAY. Release date May 14, 2025.
OK, well. Here we go. I designed the cover for the new Deep Jhana book. I released it at Amazon for a year, and I’m not happy at all with their lack of promotion so I removed it and will sell it only here on Jhana8.
This book takes a different perspective on the usual Jhana books out there steeped in tradition, and dogma. This book is direct from lived experience and that’s all. Nothing else added or taken away.
The title and cover could make you wonder if this is something you should be getting into at all.
Reaching Deep Jhana will likely change your life dramatically.
In nearly every way.
Some people think they want to smash the ego. Obliterate it.
If you really know the truth about the Deep Jhanas, you probably don’t want what comes with it.
I haven’t seen anyone telling the whole truth about the results of a person experiencing the Deep Jhanas. Not monks, not Buddhist teachers, not non-sectarian teachers.
Nobody talks about how it has its way with you. Well, UG Krishnamurti does explain his “calamity” experience vividly and talks about how it was physically devastating. In this book I talk about the mental aspects.
I’ll spill it all here. I think many people will find it interesting. Few will actually use it to pursue the Deep Jhanas.
I will tell the positives and negatives.
How it doesn’t care that your spouse is the most important person who ever existed in your life.
Or your dog.
Or your kids.
Your mother.
The Deep Jhanas initiate a systematic, mostly hidden process, that cleans your clock.
It strips you down to the bare essence of who and what you are. You become very aware of what you consist of.
And then takes that away as well.
Jhana has the power to eliminate the ego for periods of time. Hours. Days, even.
For some people, it lasts longer than others.
The process that goes on changes your life forever in some ways. Sometimes drastic ways. There are no promises.
My end state was perfect. I couldn’t ask for or dream of anything better.
But I had no idea how I would end up. Would I lose the ego entirely forever? Would it come and go?
My end state is that I have a sort of split consciousness.
I have permanent access to a non-dual state in which there is no pain, dichotomy of any kind, happiness or sadness, no emotion, no wanting, no being, no ego, no self, no I.
On the other hand, I can be me anytime I choose. I mostly choose to be me. Most of my days consist of me being “Vern Lovic” for 99%+ of the day and getting a lot of things done. At any time I can quiet Vern down and instantly I’m in the non-dual state.
It’s perfect really.
I wish I could tell you exactly why this happened.
I do know HOW it happened. I know exactly what I did and what seemed to have the greatest effects.
I know what I consciously DID during meditation, the Deep Jhanas… but how exactly did I reach this state of mind?
Anyway. If you’re really curious what happened and want to read about everything I did to easily traverse the 8 Jhanas and experience some of the Abhinnas, and eventually came into the Non-Dual / Ego-filled state of mind I have now – you can order the book below.
