You find that you have four parts of your being which are connected and form your conscious self, but you realise that there are six more parts in your unconscious which are not connected. So, you connect one part and that is an initiation and you connect another and that is a subsequent initiation. But then your awareness becomes more acute and you realise that you have, not 10 pieces, but 200 to connect. Oh, my! So you plod along accepting and connecting these until at some point you realise that you actually have 3000 pieces. Oh, my!
So, there's no point hurrying too much. The point is to understand what it takes to encompass more and more of self. Along the way, trust me, you will find various forms of resistance. That's just a normal part of the process of slowly discovering the expanse of self. Resistance is one little part of what you are among many others.
I wish to tell you my visualization. I see a circular room with light emanating from the center. The light reaches out in all directions encountering barriers of different shapes and sizes casting shadows at different distances from the center. I with conscious effort go to places within myself where the light reaches farther out and connect that light with a mirror to illuminate the darkness elsewhere spreading the light. I should not worry of the total square footage, so to speak, which the light covers. Rather I need, in this example to understand good mirror placement or how to illuminate. Do I have a good visualization here of what would seem to me to be a balancing process?
To your point Dtris. In my example is the initiation made empty by the possible fact that being illuminated through a psychodrama means little if you do not know how to do the work of illuminating?
