A Journey to Wholeness By Lillie Lee, LCSW Owning one’s life means accepting all of it, the good and the bad. One of Jung’s most famous quotes is “I’d rather be whole than good.” Owning all of who we are leads to a state of wholeness. We are called to wholeness. When I can accept all of me and love all of me, I can accept all of you. Accepting my frailties, selfishness and vulnerabilities helps me avoid projecting the unaccepted parts of myself on my children as well as my spouse, friends and above all strangers who are either unlike me or like me in ways that I refuse to accept. Self-compassion is the ability to accept ourselves completely without reservation, denial, delusion or excuses. We are fallible and full of ambiguity, without wholeness and self-compassion, our choices will be tainted by our personal lies, dishonesty and self-aversion. Maturity does not mean getting rid of our child-like behavior. We need our child-like qualities: spontaneity, tolerance, love, exuberance, resilience, curiosity, playfulness, innocence, and creativity in order to learn and expand our consciousness. A mature being strives to maintain these qualities. Owning one’s life includes being open to how our past experiences have created thoughts and beliefs about our self and our world. These beliefs may or may not support wholeness. It is said that we form most of the major beliefs about life and ourselves by the age of six. Thus, beliefs are formed during a time when we think magically, non-logically and egocentrically. I invite you to explore becoming more whole by joining my four-week class titled: I Love Me, I Love Me Not. It begins Tuesday, September 19 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the new DCRS Teaching Center.
