yah, I understand what you are saying Confused.

I think the term 'acceptance' has many applicabilities.

for eg, in one sense, 'acceptance' is used by some people to mean 'tolerate a difficult situation', 'to make do', to be passive in the face of aggression.

when Ra uses this term, I think they are referring to a different side of acceptance; just like when they use 'love' it is different from the common use of love as in - 'I love chocolate!" or "I love that tv show!".

acceptance here probably implies something more along the lines of someone like an addict 'acknowledging' their situation, like you said 'their reality', and from there, one can make the necessary balancing adjustments to be more aligned with a 'healthy life', if that is what the individual is seeking.

I mean, we all have blockages, how many of us are really willing to 'acknowledge', 'accept them', and begin the hard task of processing and working with them?

I guess that's what I was trying to say above about the Avoidance Mechanism. It is an avoidance of looking oneself straight in the face, seeing the pimples and blemishes, seeing the divisive acts that one has been a part of ... by avoiding that, there cannot be the healing stage of acceptance and forgiveness of self.
