Subject: accessing methods from the blocks caller

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but I'm having a hard time 
finding the right keywords to search for this one.

Here's my question... if I have a method that accepts a block and I want to 
call a method of the class I'm in, in that block, how do I do it?  See the 
comment below in the example.  Should make that sentence a bit clearer. :)

class Test
    def method1
    end

    def method2
        accept_block do # accept_block is not part of the Test class
            ...
            method1    # I want to call method1 from the class I'm in, but 
I'm getting undefined method for method1
            ...
        end
    end
end

I understand why I would be getting this error, but I don't know how to fix 
it.  Is there a way to access the caller in the block in order to access the 
method of it?  Kernel.caller is the closest I found, but it's not what I 
want.

I hope this makes some sense.  The example is a bit contrived, but hopefully 
I get the point across.

Thanks,
Andrew
