I had no doubt, when I initially posted this piece that your deep consideration of my offering to you here would be resisted.
This is the internet, after all! Right? And the era of Future Shock, designed to keep you on the fast track.
Fast fwd is the gig here. Right?
"Surf the web." Keep it moving. That's the modus operandi here.
Right? No time for deep.
Well -- readers -- of one thing I'm certain: my offerings here are not a quick fix or chill pill.
Challenged by these realities -- I asked my dear, long-time friend, Walton Stowell, a brillient man in his own right, artist, architect and writer of many books, who I am blessed to now have assisting me with blog writing, to take up the exploration of those "deeper considerations" with me.
I am intent on engaging you, interested readers, in getting to the "deeper." Walton is going to help me and us get to it.
Look forward to joining our adventure.
Now -- if a generic "one" would want to truly grasp -- and -- benefit from GRAD, even embrace its philosophies and practices, an understanding of its origins and the rich potentialities emerging out of its heritage as developed by the clinical team of Groder and Rosen-Jones, are important to explore.
In fact, should you accomplish this task, you will actually have taken first steps on the path of "exploring your dark side, the adventure of a lifetime!" should be inclined for such an excursion.
Heading in this direction, the genuine seeker of such vital wisdom might ask --
1. How can such a comprehension lead ME to embrace the grand personal -- and -- social theory GRAD and healing strategies purports to be, with not only an intriguing backstory but one that can also bring ME hope in these anguished times?
This leads to a second question --
2. How can a look back at a prison rehabilitation approach, warranting an updated consideration more than fifty years after its sometimes controversial beginnings, become a guiding light through a world troubled with corrupt leadership and followers, some in cult-like denial, others similarly unscrupulous?
"The answer my friend" is not merely "blowing in the wind."
It lies instead, first and foremost and in part, in YOUR exploring YOUR own dark side and taking up its transformation - lead into gold -- as YOUR own, very personal "adventure of a lifetime."
Destination --
Realigning, wherever possible and necessary, your personal current survival orientation -- not by merely pointing your finger at THEM with all your outrage and despair - the Donald Trumps, his allies and enablers, the Vladimir Putins, the Devil incarnate -- but by redirecting and refining your vital Inner Warrior to use its immense power in ways, yet undiscovered by you.
