♦ This particular section may only apply
to a relative fewer individuals that find
themselves very 'spiritually' distressed -
leave-taking and very stuck 'way out' there ~
and now by default, do have the remarkable
opportunity to really truly find themselves,
authentically, and be whole and at peace within . . .

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH-IN YOU ?

“ BREAKDOWN

Often PRECEDES

BREAK-THROUGH “

( uncomfortable as that may sound or seem )

Maybe some pieces & parts of what follows -
is also what may be going on with you . . . .

____________________________________
A Question you may wish to Question.

ARE YOU HAVING
A ‘SPIRITUAL CRISIS’ ?
A ‘SPIRITUAL EMERGENCY’ ?
An emergency of your Spirit ?

Or, are you having an authentic
‘SPIRITUAL - E M E R G E N C E’ ?
A true 'Emerging' of your Higher Spirit ?

these could be very different experiences . . .

♦ Are you having a true
'EXISTENTIAL CRISIS' of sorts ?
A deep personal crisis
of your very own 'Being-ness' ???
Or a Spiritual Break-through
and an Inner-Emergence ?

Which ?

Are your values & views gradually or even radically changing ?
Are you yearning to truly develop a genuine 'upgrade' to your
consciousness ? Going towards the authentically 'Spiritual' -
and not just some sort of delusive 'magical-thinking' fantasy ?
Or a pre-packaged New Age kit with plenty of easy answers?

HOW to Know ? – Are you feeling Helpless – Stuck ?
– Powerless – Out of balance – Frustrated – Frightened ?
– Loss of purpose ? – Confused ? – Emotional swings ?
– Dead-ended ? – Mis-handling Difficult Life-changes ?
– Getting Scared – What to do ? – Where to fit in ?
– How to make it all work out ?

There's a multitude of QUESTIONS that maybe you need
to have a wise and compassionate Buddhist 'relating' about.
Who with boots on the ground - and with authentic experience
can I talk to, and really relate to about all of this ?

'Buddhism' is interesting in that it gladly stands aside and
allows other 'religions' to go ahead of them. No hurry.
It is a 'non-religion', in a way . . .

♦ Based in our own unique experiences,
we offer counseling & therapy for people
who are beginning to undergo
what is really a 'higher process'
of inner-change, where it merges
with the dormant 'spiritual' part.
This is a totally natural process !

♦ You personally, may want to talk to someone
who has fairly advanced training in BOTH worlds:
The standard Western therapies
AND a totally non-religious,
wisdom-based Spirituality.
Eventually, it's All about Spirit !

At "The Spiritual Adulthood Project" ~
We offer a uniquely 'combined counseling':
an innovative, wholistic, new Eastern/Asian
'Spiritual Variation' of the mind therapies,
based in the pragmatic, practical, highly rational,
very 'sane' Buddhist psychology teachings – created
for intelligent people - sensitive - intellectual - gifted
or creative people - odd, wonderfully uncommon people

Or maybe . . .

• YOUR EVERYDAY ‘LIFE’ SEEMS TOGETHER
BUT YOUR ‘SPIRITUAL PRACTICE’ ISN’T –
IT’S WAY, WAY UNDER-DEVELOPED for who you are…
An Under-Employed Spirit ... You’re way under-utilizing !

• Or maybe . . . YOU’VE GOTTEN TOO COMFORTABLE
with a familiar, easy ONGOING ‘SPIRITUAL PRACTICE’ –
and it's kinda' getting stale - and getting your Spirit stale.
AND YOUR ‘LIFE’ STILL ISN’T TOGETHER –
and your not ‘making it’ make it . . .

Sometimes It Feels Like It’s Hard To Have Both.

And again, you may need to talk to someone
who has training in both worlds: East & West

Or maybe . . . It's Isolation

• DO YOU DO TOO MUCH 'SPIRITUAL SPECULATING' -
and no frequent, true ‘connecting’ with others on the Path ?
AND if intelligently, carefully & maturely chosen, a real
face-to-face relationship with a ‘living' spiritual teacher
or spiritual mentor or friend can be very, very rewarding.
HOW to really choose well ? Get out of your isolation.

Or maybe . . .

• SO YOU ARE EVOLVING ‘SPIRITUALLY’ –
But YOU’RE CURRENT THERAPIST JUST ISN’T ON
YOUR TRACK – Just Not There With You . . .
Doesn't seem to 'get' you anymore – sorry, but they're not !
Giving you a vague distant nod - or yes, words of 'support'
to your deepening 'spiritual pursuits' - but can offer
not much else of experienced guidance in that direction.
Here too, you may need someone who has training
in both worlds – psychology and spirituality.

Or maybe . . .

• YOU ARE DISAPPOINTED with New Age advisors or
guru-type spiritual teachers or you've found cult-style
groups you’ve checked-out, visited, explored or actually
been with & left or 'exited' with some degree of heart-ache ?

Fed up with the promises, pitfalls, ego-boosts & magical
enticements of the multitude of Spiritual Supermarkets,
Kabbala Water, Darshan/Diksha, Mantra Empowerments
& Enlightenment Emporiums or to find yourself embedded
with the Over-Serious Devoted Group of Humorless
Co-Dependent students ? Got Spiritual Indigestion ?

So, now what ?

Time to Leave your attachment to your
"Perpetual Entry Level of Spiritual Pursuits" !

What’s the next step UP in YOUR OWN Self-Development
Process, your own 'Conscious Evolution' – What’s next ?
Your Own individualized personalized spiritual growth-path ?
Let’s sort it ALL out together !

• WORSE CASE SENERIO: YOU'RE EXPERIENCING
THE CRISIS or CONFUSION of LEAVING a SPIRITUAL
GROUP, SPIRITUAL CENTER PROGRAM, a SPECIALLY
EMPOWERED GURU, FAMOUS MASTER or TEACHER ?
Do you have unresolved feelings, unusual or disturbing
states of consciousness, or deep questionings around
your ongoing spiritual growth process now ?

What now ?

At "The Spiritual Adulthood Project" ~
We offer experienced empathy, experienced assistance,
wisdom-based careful explanations & understandings –
And caring crisis-counseling for people to sort through and
integrate a very wide range of feelings that may have arisen:
exploring both the Dark and the Light side . . .
– quite transformative in itself –
emerging with a new sense of deep personally discovered
clarity, compassion and wholesome well-being.

As our dear friend Ram Dass once said…
“Sincerely take the best of the teachings –
and if necessary, leave the teacher!”

You may want to hi-lite, copy, paste and send
the quote below to people you know…
some of the wisest guidance you’ll ever read,
and put to your own personal use or offer to others. _______________________________________________

here it is ~

♦ “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
Try to love the ‘Questions’ themselves -
like locked rooms and like books that
are written in a foreign language.
Do not, right now, seek for the Answers.
The ‘Answers’ which cannot now be given to you -
because you would not be able to actually ‘live’ them.
And the point is to ‘live’ everything -
- experiencing everything.
At present,
you need to live the Questions themselves.
Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live along some day into the true Answer.
Your answer.”

~ Rainer Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet” Paris 1908
