I think 'acceptance' could be a state of complete non-judgment of one's own self. It involves seeing both the light and the dark in one's inner being, I guess. And then may be using that knowledge of the self to promote radiance of the self for the benefit of others, while consciously on the STO path. And they need not be in earth shattering ways, I suppose. Only speculating.
From LOO 5.2 -
Quote:The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smoothes part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.
