Is catalyst ever perceived positively?

[zenmaster]

The mind, like the body, has a sort of homeostasis which, when relativey balanced, is felt emotionally and mentally as "peace of mind" or well being. When confronted to a new aspect of self, which exists as an unconscious potential, the mind must make some kind of exception to this state in order to allow for reorientation and processing. How does the conscious mind treat the unconscious mind (Ra's potentiator) offering this new info under the circumstances? This treatment is totally a function of personal bias. Does being confronted with an unconscious asect of self aggrevate, agitate, inspire, encourage, spark curiosity, dissuade, challenge, disturb, upset, provoke? There is always a choice in how to react to exposure to one's self. Ra had a good point about the consequnces of forming a particular relationship with that interface to the unconscious.
