Are you being pursued by life's deeper questions?
The path to Eastern wisdom is not that of psychotherapy. After all, the goal of therapy is to "get it together." Each school of therapy differs on how this is to be achieved. Some, for example, claim we need to be less repressed. Others claim we need to be more responsible.
But what if the very criteria of selfhood are self-contradictory?! What if each person's life is a puzzle without a solution? The Buddha realized, long ago, that life is a "mission impossible," but it didn't lead him to existential despair. On the contrary, it caused Buddha to awaken from the painful effort to be. The result was freedom and joy.
How, then, to awaken? The Philosophy Clinic™ offers a Western route to Eastern wisdom. We get there, not by meditation, but by powerful insight into our everyday desires, conflicts and anxieties.
We are not, therefore, the usual
sort of philosophical counselors. We won't help you forge a workable
philosophy of life, or find viable solutions to life's perplexing moral
dilemmas
Simply stated, we won't help you to answer your questions. On the
contrary, we'll question your answer! You may claim that you don't have an
answer, but we'll bet you do have one, even if it hasn't succeeded in
making you happy. Awakening to your hidden answer leads you back to the
unknown question, and from there to Self-realization.
