The Role of the Rescuer – 08.11.11

Student Question:  You mentioned that often a lot of people’s unconscious urges manifest themselves in close relationships and families and what not.  It makes me think of a friend that I guess I would say is caught up in his egoic existence and around a lot of family issues and a lot of family pressure to do certain things and to be a certain way.  Now just for the background this individual was raised with Buddhist beliefs so he has some leanings that way but still is totally immersed in the egoic existence right now.  Now my question is, to what extent can a friend help someone like that out of the spiral and the problems he is in.  Are there really ways to help someone who is not ready to make that move?
