This is something that we learn as we meditate: to face our dark side, to face our sinfulness, to face all these complex selfcontradictory dynamics going on within us, and to face it without self-deception, without repression, without pious evasion. We face it and accept responsibility for who we are in ourselves, and go beyond the divisions which a negative, self-rejecting spirituality imposes on us.
( Aspects of Love 2, by Laurence Freeman )
