This article considers whether it is possible to find security in the ever-changing process of the Adult ego state. The author cites several definitions of “Adult,” suggests that individuation is not the final goal of maturation, and considers the idea that beyond personal autonomy lies universal interconnectedness. This article addresses the differences between Eastern and Western psychologies and suggests mindfulness meditation as a means of achieving inner balance and stability in the Adult.
