Is catalyst ever perceived positively?

[AnthroHeart]

93.11 Questioner: I would like, if possible, an example of the activity we call Catalyst of the Mind in a particular individual undergoing this process. Could Ra give an example of that?

Ra: I am Ra. All that assaults your senses is catalyst. We, in speaking to this support group through this instrument, offer catalyst. The configurations of each in the group of body offer catalyst through comfort/discomfort. In fact all that is unprocessed that has come before the notice of a mind/body/spirit complex is catalyst.

I took assault to mean a negative interpretation of catalyst. But now that Ra states that they are offering catalyst, I don't see it in a negative connotation. Plus most of it is unprocessed or unconscious, so we'd have no reaction to it. Much of what Ra has said has definitely made me rethink who I am (being an infinite being).

So is catalyst always meant for spiritual growth? Or is it just a byproduct of creation?
