About This Book

A traditional Sufi teaching story for children in which a lion is paralysed by his own frightening reflection in the water — illustrating how the self-image creates its own fears and how the discovery of reality dissolves them.

What You'll Learn

Receive through story the Sufi teaching on self-image as the source of irrational fears that persist until the reflection is recognised as such. Understand how the image we have of ourselves creates the monsters that seem to threaten us from outside. Apply this insight to examine the self-images that create your own recurring fears.
