This passage reminds me of the idea of shadow self - all parts of me that I have disowned. An experince that comes to me is that when I suddenly, out of nowhere felt IMMENSE amounts of anger (almost as if I had discovered a reservoid of repressed anger of years). All this while I thought of myself as a peaceful person - and here I was, so so angry
It made me realize that the part of me that was getting angry was perhaps, pushed to the fringes - and now came back....to me there is a lot going on when we speak about accepting a part of ourselves
In accepting it, we accept ourselves, we also accept others and we gain access to the usefulness of this part of us...
