Confidential Private Consulting in a
rapidly evolving global world of change
(organizational & group consulting is below this)
---------------------------------------------
We Consult & Counsel all manifestations of 'alternative'
and 'emerging' life-styles: All manifestations of alternative
marketplaces: spiritual, religious, artistic, sexual, gender,
health, and other newly "emerging life-styles". There are
increasingly visible Counter-Culture social milieus and
personal relationships that may be mixed racial, religious
or same-gender gay partnerings or the often difficult
adjustments of exploration of bi-curious, trans-gender,
str8 still-exploring life-styles. And there's Punx.
There is a natural, ongoing, organic 'social anarchy' in
full progress. Inevitably it's happening ! And a modest
'marketplace' and media right along with it – despite
all conservative resistances. The social 'market' moves
forward tenaciously nonetheless. Don't fight the market
trends. It's the 21st Century: It's a big, wide open, visible,
post-global, pan-global, experimental, explorative world
out there now.
This also happens to be the core fear of the world-wide
neo-con big reactionary 'fear' out there. Teheran, Beijing,
Burma, Russia or Tibet. The grip of coercive power. Fear
of "out with the old in with the new". Ideally, the now
renown phrase "Unity In Diversity" –– The evolving,
slow, gradual unity of a smooth "ONE Consciousness" -
actually and simply means "Peace & Harmony Among
ALL Consciousnesses". Isn't that what ALL religions
speak of ? The All ONE that they all can agree on.
Old good wine in new skins. Self-elective Change.
At "The Spiritual Adulthood Project"
we offer intelligent, rational and compassionate
bridge-building between family members, people
of all colors, communities, religions, diverse cultures
and ethnic origins. A totally pluralistic diverse society
brings so many fresh, awesome enrichments as well
as valid struggles and uncharted transitions of complex
balance & new found respect.

organizational & group consulting
.
Specialized Consulting: while the numbers are still small.
We are keenly observing the rapidly growing, increasingly
'conscious' emergence of new communities, and minority
entrepreneurships • Asian/American spiritual-trends and
breakaway religions • All manifestations of 'alternative'
& 'emerging' life-styles • Each filled with a reach for 'true'
inner-meaning and responsible creativity with money.
CONSULTATION

• Business • Religious • Institutional settings and ventures
that are open-hearted to saying "Yes" to each others views.
Open to 'Green' re-tooling, development & sustainability,
and wide Diversity-tolerant. Supportive of exploring new
outreach-missions pledged to a more pro-active Peace
procedure. Encouraging the heart to use of The New
Inner-Spirited Human Resource Resolution approaches
and "Spirit In The Workplace" inner-development.
Still fringe ~ all fairly outside-the-box stuff !
We do international 'expert' consulting
focused on the American "Spiritual Mind-set".
• the current, ongoing "Crisis In Faith & Trust"
• "Throw-Away Archetypes" • the generational
& cultural "Soul-Loss of Our Classic Mythologies"
• "Technology, Obsolescence & No Solid Ground"
.
• "What's Amiss With The American Mind, Views &
Culture?" • and the many current American Religious
& Spiritual Trends ( a lot of them quite unconscious,
un-self-identified, and often dreadfully naive ) within
the contemporary American/Western cultural paradigm
as a whole - all in the midst of our dangerous 'Matrix'
( because it is still only semi-conscious in nature –
and therefore still vulnerable and easily 'hi-jackable )
Eastern and Asian 'religion-watchers' are interested
in what is developing on US & European soil as well
as on Asia's very own contemporary liquid & shifting
ground. Big ongoing 'religious issues' out there . . .
• As an expert consultant, Akasa Levi, DhMA - knows
Asia & Asian/American Spiritual Trends and Religions.
He has a clear, non-romantic, multiple-view: an American
born Jew & a former ordained Buddhist monk ( 'Bhikkhu' )
that lived a full decade in Asia - he knows & understands
the highly active and rapidly emerging East/West Spiritual
Interface and Trends - and the various secular world-
markets & communities they may inter-relate with & affect.

Do you find some of this relevant
to your thinking or feelings ?
Thank you for reading this candid prospectus - it certainly
is an open, and quite public posting that is addressed to
what is still a quite small audience of those who might be
sincerely the 'right people' engaged in the sort of 'projects'
we like to join. It's usually worked very well this way before.
We simply just begin to talk with you - and begin to envision.
It would be up to you to skillfully assess and forecast for
yourself - and consider with good heart, how you could
possibly utilize with all beneficent integrity - what we find -
towards your own visions & ventures. Let us talk together...
