I had done that as well. It was well worth the years of effort to work through it, even as unbearable as it seemed at times. It really accelerates the seeking, and forms a solid core of love and acceptance within the self which can then be shared with others at a much greater intensity than if the self acceptance process had not taken place. Instead of projecting ones own fears or darkness onto others, one can own them and work through them much more directly. There is the risk that it may affect ones will and health if this is not done in a careful and balanced manner, but the result is so sweet that it is more than worth it to come out on the other side of this self created challenge. We all knew the potentials before we came here anyway.
