Hey everyone, great responses, thank you!
Phoenix, you've sort of tapped in to my initial thrust for the thread, that being the (seeming) paradox between the evolution of the self vs. the acceptance of the self. Looking at it in terms of a balancing may be the correct approach, although I am still unsure. May be that striving for balance is equal to acceptance, because in that sense you are not actually "fixing" whatever it is you find needs repair in yourself. But at the same time, perhaps if balance is accomplished by doing something else in your life, then evolution of the self can take place even though the specific thing you had been examining is still there.
As far as what it is exactly, it falls roughly in to the same category that you seem be be balancing, that is lower chakra bogies / addictive tendencies. Would you, Phoenix, be interesting in comparing notes in more detail via PM? We may be able to lend each other some insight or advice.
Cheers!
