"It was the best of times,
It was the worst of timesIt was the age of wisdom,
It was the age of foolishnessIt was the epoch of belief,
It was the epoch of incredulityIt was the season of Light,
It was the season of Darkness
It was the spring of hope,
It was the winter of despairWe had everything before us,
We had nothing before usWe were all going direct to Heaven,
We were all going direct the other way."
..
~ A Tale of Two Cities ~ 1859.
Charles Dickens'
19th-century opening lines
perfectly describe today's climate. Undeniably,
we all now know deep in our bones, these are
difficult times. Yet come to recognize that these
times are ALL a Good Inner-Growth Opportunity' !
They may as well be....
we're all going thru this together anyway......
.
"Only in quiet waters
.do things mirror themselves undistorted.
.Only in a quiet mind
.is a more adequate perception of the world."..~ Hans Margolius..
.We are very sincere about encouraging you to
take up an 'inter-face' with a trained professional,
or to continue with strength & faith if you already are.
All to discover a wise, great resiliency within yourself,
and as an ongoing healing 'antidote/vaccine' . . . .

.....and work together on one of them."

There's some sensible, solid good recommendations
on how to approach the 'idea' of taking up some
counseling therapy.
And, at the end of this Blog,
are some quotes & poems - "Wisdom-Heart-Words"
from various spiritual cultures to inspire this mostwonderful phenomena, the human mind - with
it's ability to be self-assured & to gently spur you on,
to let you know, That 'Help' is Possible . . ..AND Therapy may be some effective assistance for you
~ Or why would we be offering this to you?
It often does work in the most difficult region
of all Life - Changing the human mind.

" The Journey Itself

....IS the Destination ! "


.
.
"We offer Counseling & Therapy
for the Disheartened Mind, Insecure
or Wounded Spirit, or a Despairing
& Troubled Relationship…"

.
We assist HEALING the HEART-MIND itself -
in the midst of these very edgy, scary,
confusing, disappointing, over-driven, tense,
survival-stressed, anxious Uncertain Times.

Yet the leadership is resiliently hopeful !
You certainly can be too....
.
.
What this is really all about ~ It's an old formula:
"Learning How to Feel Better About YourSelf"
That's it. Do it here. Do it elsewhere. But Do it !
Please take youself to a special 'healing-space',
so you can frequently do the 'practice' and see,
experience and feel a noticeable difference.
.
Let's assist you in 'working' with someone,
here or elsewhere, to team up with you -
in your own personal liberation-quest
from your complex personal suffering.


..
Part of all this 'work' is 'Spiritual' ~
Yet, NONE of this is 'religious' ~
NONE of this is God-oriented ~
Traditional Buddhism is
secular-humanistic -
and is non-theistic.

. MAYBE YOU’VE BECOME
..SO OVERWHELMINGLY
‘IDENTIFIED’ and OVER-INVOLVED
IN YOUR OWN DIFFICULT ‘LIFE-STORY’
That You Can’t See The Forest Anymore
Because of All The Trees!
.
Your ‘Story’ of being such a anxiety-driven ‘winner’
or a victimized ‘loser’ - resentful, bitter, came here
to be recognized - not just a plain nobody ’out there’.
Feeling so undernourished - or feeling so isolated -
that you just plain ‘hurt’ inside. Numb or so angry ?
Maybe you’ve lost the Path, or forgotten the Way ?
feeling so ineffective in your ‘deeper’ inner-search?
Or you’ve just never yet really sought out persistently
who ‘you’ really, really, really are - ‘in here’. Inside..

At “SPIRITUAL ADULTHOOD”We offer a uniquely ‘combined-counseling’:
an innovative, wholistic, ’spiritual variation’
of the 'new mind-therapies', based in practical,
quite highly scientific Buddhist Wisdom,
combined with a gentle, accepting, gradual
compassionate view towards all Beings.
.
This is Therapy for intellectual people - smart
sensitive people - or creative people - wonderful
uncommon people… an Eastern, Asian-style
of treatment, of 'mind-wellbeing' that just
may be a truly effective, non-traditional
‘alternative’ counseling & therapy for you.
.
"Buddhist
....Mindfulness-based Guidance"
with it's fine, long history - is a well-respected
ancient Asian complimentary therapy-‘option’
to the much more ordinary, standard-models
of Western therapies.

here or elsewhere, to team up with you -
in your own personal liberation-quest
from your 'condition' of personal suffering._______________________________________

” THE GREATEST RISK
IS NOT TAKING ONE! ”..

our greatness lies
not so much in being able

to remake the world…
As in being able
to remake ourselves.

Your Mind certainly CAN transform !
It can be free and at total Peace All by Itself !
All it really needs is the right 'software'
& an effective 'method' to practice it with.
This miraculous "Inner-Freedom-Making-Process"
is 'The Work' that the Buddhist monks have been
cultivating for 2500 years, finding it's way into English.
We're so happy it arrived in the West for us to try !
So there is a Way wide open for you to Discover –
yet it's right there lost inside you !
We'll help you find it..
.
."By the learning
The Path of Wisdom-Silence
you can now allow a break
in the illusory world of 'worldly' words.
So that The Flower of 'Just Being'
may freely bloom.
Allow yourself to become suddenly still,

inside & out.
So that you may pierce through
the thin shell of the 'world',
and now fill the entire cosmos
with your own truly free mind.
So the healing of you – and thus,
the healing of the entire world
may truly begin."~ Old Metaphors by Ji Aoi Isshi – 13th century Japan
