We step into the story of a film, book, or audio and discover that it is really about is.  "You are Ahab in Moby Dick, you are Michael Corleone in The Godfather, you are Rick or Isla in Casablanca, Jim in Lord Jim, or the tramp in City Lights. And out of these make-believe selves, all of them versions of your own self-in-the-making, you learn . . . to invent a better you than you could have before the story was told."</span></blockquote>

We must also leave behind old definitions of self, constructed and endorsed by the culture. This too is a great loss.<br /><br />As outgrown, external structure collapses, our child within has a chance to emerge. But this child within is tested to be true. Can it hold our developing and authentic, sense of self? Can we shun the noise of the world and its claims of authority in our lives to listen to the subtle voice of truth at our core? Can we stake our claim in an internal identity, apart from the seductive allure of the external world and the majority that conforms to it? Can we live from within as the outer world shouts its outrage at our defiance of its supremacy?<br /><br />It takes great courage to live from within and out of our core of truth our child within. And the transition from outer definition to inner truth is a lonely path that few travel. That’s why it’s good to listen in quiet reflection to the voice of truth that whispers encouraging words and reassuring support that we are actually not alone at all—but surrounded by universal forces that delight in our daring venture to live out of what’s best in us and best in all reality. With that realisation, even during what feels like our loneliness moment, we see we are not alone, but with the best company of all—our true self and the forces of nature and the universe that delight in our being true.</span>

Working with difficulties in a compassionate way doesn't necessarily mean we can resolve them. Samsara, by its nature, can't be fixed. It can only be worked with and transcended &3151; which means seen through.<br /><br />"A traditional Buddhist image of compassion is that of an armless woman watching her only child being swept away by the raging torrent of a river. Imagine the unbearable anguish at not being able to save your child — and not being able to turn away! In the practice of Bodhichitta, this is the unconditional compassion we try to cultivate toward all sentient beings, even if we're unable to truly help them until we ourselves become free. The willingness to not turn away from our anguish as we reflect on the suffering of samsara is the bodhisattva path. This path is possible only because we have seen that the true nature of suffering is egoless, or empty. Not turning away from suffering doesn't mean 'toughing it out.' It means that, having seen the true nature of suffering, we have the courage to encounter suffering joyfully."</span>
