WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE YOU ?________________________________
“There is no such thing as a "Problem"

without somehow a ‘Gift’ for you in its hands.

Sometimes you have problems

because you need their gifts.

It is through gifts that you grow.”

WHATEVER IT IS . . .

..YOU’RE
. . “A-NOT-SO-HAPPY-PERSON”
• Many, many folks aren’t. We’re in very agitated,
anxious, turbulent, uncertain times right now.
Career & Life-Purpose Despair, Emotional Stuff,
Mood Swings, Mid-Life Changes, Painful Family
Issues or Partner Relationship Dilemmas or Deep
Unhappiness or Loneliness don’t make it any easier. Life can ride so rough on ya' – hopelessness sets in...
• So please, go ’see’ somebody - here or elsewhere -
but Do GO and really settle in & start working it out.
‘You’ - really being heard from way deep inside, and
coached forward & thru by a counseling therapist who
can deeply understand you – very human to human.
So get up out of your own ‘protective’ self-imposed
isolation – blaming, excusing or rationalizing: it's such
a narrow limiting – that “I can do this by myself” mantra –
reinforced by those ego-pride-shame-hurt-loss-fear-cycles.
Just put yourself into a series of counseling sessions for awhile. Open it all up ! In a place of safety & trust.
• It’ll be good for you - you’ll be on an accompanied path
to get some relief and resolution, and even some joy
and laughter. This is where you can work on your stuff,
and work on your Soul on a ‘frequent enough’ basis
to make a really Noticeable Difference.

• At least phone us. There is NO obligation to having
a FREE phone-consultation with us, so we both can
see if this could feel right & be workable for you...._____________________________________

Hidden STRESS
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU ?
OVERWHELM: Another Very Basic Problem
" There's no room anymore for my Intelligence
to simply, sanely, sort & separate out anything.

Emotions get to so totally run thinking. So What IS true ?
Emotions get to be so totally run BY thinking. Which IS true ?
Thoughts get so enmeshed and mixed with yukky feelings
and old embedded war 'stories' of wounds & betrayals.
Feelings so overwhelm and flood thinking.
Flooding is all that's happening sometimes.
Emotions run thinking – s t r e s sThinking runs Emotions – s t r e s sPainful memory 'thought-illusions' have
the 'appearance' of Reality - and are not.
Overwhelm, confusion, hopeless, numb...
Angry & Sad – bad sleep, stress, stuck.
Sick & Tired of being sick & tired. Shit ! "

♦ Just Maybe You’re a
Very ‘U N CO M M O N’ PERSON ~“An Unusual ‘Uncommon Person’
Already, Always Feels Different —
in a Very Non-Assimilate-able Way —
just not ‘fitting in’… sadly, that's most people.
But for the odd, gifted, truly ‘uncommon one’ —
it’s sort of a double-whammy to carry!”~ Humanistic psychology creator Abraham Maslow (1947) UNHAPPY UNUSUAL ‘UNCOMMON’ PEOPLEare sensitive, smart, creative, intelligent, individualistic,
higher-consciousness people - artistic, intellectual,
mystical, musical, magical, poetic & spiritual.
• So you probably also need a
‘Non-traditional Therapist’ who 'gets' it ~a therapist who truly understands “non-mainstream”
life-styles, spirituality, or the creative Arts - a seasoned
therapist who is deeply empathic - and who genuinely
understands ‘uncommon’ and ‘unusual’ or ‘non-ordinary’
people that are quite unique or gifted, but yet still quite unhappy —
People who are carrying the twin burden of 'specialness'
and yet self-loathing - all covered up as it may be.

• You may be a very ‘Individual’ Person
who normally feels very naturally directed inward,
'spiritual-oriented' - and yet you’re struggling
to get ‘worldly’ problems and emotional issues
handled realistically and with integrity as well –
yet without you having to commit to any sort
of religious path whatsoever! We DON'T DO any
‘religious’ preaching or dogma - No special jargon.
Nothing to 'buy into' or be persuaded to ‘believe’ in.
Just the daily emergence of your own individual
true 'Knowing' - and personal excellence!

• We assist you in self-discovering a ‘natural unfolding’
of unshakable balance, boundless wisdom and joy!
And your innate good humor!
• Liberating a new sense of caring & connectedness
with yourself, other people and your widening universe –
an embracing and expanded "Inner-Acceptance
and Outer Effectiveness". A ‘True’ happiness
independent & much, much more non-reactive
to the constant, unavoidable effects
of ‘everyday’ circumstances & conditions !
Really, a responsible, authentic ‘true freedom’
as they’ve spoken about for millennia
in those profound Ancient Wisdom-teachings.
"Maybe Buddhist Therapy is the new Acupuncture"........ remember when when 'acupuncture' started
.........to be around .... and as the new treatment,
.........it was found to be surprisingly quite effective.

.Some Very HAPPY UNCOMMON PEOPLE Have Said . . .
"You began as a creation.
Now become a Creator.
Never, never wait at a barrier." ~ Rumi
.
."Our 'constant inquiry' is our passion –
and our passion itself is our daily task.
'Inquiry' is our passion. From there –
the rest is the marvelous madness of art." ~ Henry James, "The Middle Years" .
."Be daring, be different, be impractical,
.....................be anything
that will assert 'Integrity of Purpose'
and Imaginative Vision –
in contrast to the play-it-safers, the sad
self-limiting creatures of the commonplace,
the sleeping slaves of the unconscious mundane."
~ Sir Cecil Beaton 1904-1980) English portrait

" The Journey Itself
IS the Destination! "
Guys, it's going to become clear,
cool & calmed down fairly soon –
It's also going to open up to ....
"That it's OK - that it's not OK" -
That's the 'What Is' of it – and let's do the inner-'work' from there –
It's simply a fact: Beyond the grip of denial,
you're hurting & you've got some problems.
Together, we've gotta go in 'there' –
a sort of inner-Questing together.
"Therapy" is not found in even
the best of books, CDs, or on the radio.
It's a 'Live' Interactive Relating-Processbetween client & counselor - it always has been.Two people sit down and togetherempathically 'Work' on one of them.

"Spiritual Adulthood" is a much more 'radical' form of Counseling – geared to intelligent people in the contemporary
Creative Arts and New-Thought-minded sensibilities.
The people who do eventually come to us - are usually
more explorative, curious, have a more active intellect, and are intensely inquisitive people just by their nature.
The 'Inner-Searchers of Comprehension' are people
who relish the 'safari' of it – the 'search', the 'inquiry',
the 'quest' of it - hurting or not - rather than having
ideas & prescriptions just 'served-up' ready to eat.
"Enlightened Freedom" is certainly
.not a home-deliverable product. Never was . . .
For each of us - for all of us, Freedom
is all a life-long psychological Pilgrimage
experienced thru a Spiritualized Heart . . . ------------------------------------------Thank you for reading all this!
Hopefully you'll learn to Enjoy a Rugged Journey – It is – for " The Journey Itself IS the Destination !"
Be Brave, Courageous & Stay the Course !Keep The Faith !

Question:
" Grandfather - What is Destiny? "
“ DESTINY is every step we’re taking
and going thru right now - to get there ”
~ Grandfather Bearheart, contemporary Creek Elder
-------------------------------------------------------------
"You Really Must Consciously Choose
to Make & Re-Make the Choice
to Re-Choose again & again -
to Openly Talk with Someone…
and keep it up – Talking It Out –
to Openly keep Talking with Someone.
Trust in gradually letting the deep clear
water rise up from down the old well -
flow, flush & unfold –
Messy or tidy,
neat or controlled - we all have these feelings." ~ Bhante Sudu Hom'Dru


"Eighty percent of success is just showing up" ..~ Woody Allen

Go ahead and please get into some quality
counseling-therapy – you, really being heard –
here or somewhere.
That they will really take deep caring to listen to YOU – really, really hear you.
That’s a very courageous move on your part – it just may be the right place for you to start.
Be very welcome to inquire more about us, as you search out where to do this inner-work.
Maimonides, more than 800 years ago said:

"a single deed,
a single word,
a single action,
even just one single thought,
has the power to TIP the scales
and bring redemption to your world.
no matter how dark that world
may seem or feel ~
light is just a single action away."
"There is now a rapidly growing number of
bright American people who basically need
a whole other level, a much higher level,
an intelligent, deeper level of assistance
for their Inner-Unfolding of Spirit" ~ 'The Culture Creatives' (2001)
. – and we wish to assist you as you
bring yourself to this new level
of a natural, highly conscious,
sensitive awareness – and fearless unfolding..._______________________
