Seems like abjection can be a used a tool to purposely define the boundaries of the self. Through experiencing abjection we build the walls around our self that isolate us from that which didn’t resonate with us. By experiencing and rejecting we end up with a distilled version of ourself.
I enjoy putting myself in really uncomfortable and extreme situations to get a feel for how far I can stretch my beliefs and perspective. Doing this on both sides of the spectrum has revealed things about myself that wouldn’t have been revealed otherwise.
