t their practical core these issues deal with understanding our place in the greater world and the limited time we have before death. One of the therapeutic benefits to be had by delving into these abstract and murky waters is to emerge with a clearer and more realistic sense of self and world-view. A view and understanding that can manage, if not in their ideal form transcend, the difficulties during life and at the time of death.
All traditions and belief systems offer similar tools and methods to actively work within this realm by relying on the process and experience of those that came before us, as well as providing an overall structure to progress within and deepen our own authentic spiritual-existential experience. Modeling for us ways and means to implement a similar but unique way of investigating and refining how we conceive ourselves, our view of reality/the world, and ultimately how this can positively effect our relations and interactions with self and others.
