I am a multilateral Being

It's of essential importance that I accept I have many contradicting aspects in my personality. I just cannot expect that I will be completely consequent all the time. Instead of that I have to assume I can accept all interchangeable and contradicting aspects, so I can see myself as a multilateral being. How can I expand myself so that the variety of aspects can illuminate my life and I I can express all of this? I am excited to get to know all the aspects of my being and I am committed to express them all.

I love the intention in your last line:
“I am excited to get to know all the aspects of my being and I am committed to express them all.”
This is such a valuable intention and a beautiful lesson for us all to learn. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom (again =), Leendert. Love it!
Yes, so many aspects they come to lose their defined boundaries showing themselves to be truly mysterious. So the magic begins when we surrender to the mystery in and of ourselves and others. Joni Mitchel’s line comes to mind: “we are star dust, million year old carbon.” We are more than we can define and it is a wild and love filled dance. Maybe all the aspects don’t contradict but complement - like the story of the elephant and all its parts.
Happy dancing into the disparate.
I like this perspective…. because I most certainly do contradict myself… sometimes to the point that I have to stop and sort the thought process that’s occuring! I like “just accepting” that I am that way and that because of that trait, I am able to better understand… as well as better able to express myself.
