There is within (us) a mind that always sets itself apart from whatever it becomes conscious of in the moment, be this a sound, sight, or interior state. This "setting apart" action separates us from the "observed" and creates the sense of there being an observer that seems to be different than what it sees. But, in truth, no such separation exists; we are what we see, we see what we are. The problem for most of us is that while we are (both) the seer and the seen, we don't yet realize we are also the seeing itself; a level of awareness that is "in, but not of" the content of the moment created by opposing forces in passing time. I know this sounds like a lot to understand, but that's why all the emphasis is placed on learning to quietly observe oneself and remembering oneself at the same time. The qualities of mind/self that we "hate or fear" in ourselves belong to a "dark" nature inherent in creation (and therefore in consciousness) that, as a part of their being, deny themselves and resist any light that reveals their existence.

The meaning behind the idea of "U2" is that while we don't condone these negative archetype forces (or their dark use of us), neither do we condemn them...as this would be to identify with their assertions. Instead, as best we are able to, (and this takes years of patient self-observation), we surrender our identification with them; in a sense, we give ourselves up without giving ourselves over to any of their "suggestions" about what can do to save ourselves...or falling into despair over how hopeless things seem (according to these same states). It isn't that we attempt to unite ourselves with these unwanted states, but more that we discover we are already one with them and, in this realization, we are released from trying not to be. Trying not to be (anything) is a form of being what we would rather not. The end of this loop is to surrender the self that wants to be anything at all.

If I say any more (at this point) it will only further cloud an issue that stays in place as it does because of the "clouds" of thoughts and feelings it creates to escape detection. Persist! Everything becomes clear to anyone who will place his wish for clarity above his longing for (self) certainty.
