Again on paper that seems logical, but when I dig in, it just confounds me.
This higher self being (future us) can reach across time, to some degree enter this illusion, see through our eyes, and "make better use of catalyst than we typically can"?
Ra does admit to catalyst being inefficiently used here. And one can assume that the majority of the quantity and quality of catalyst is shunned from our human perceptory webs.
Actually, now that I think of it, consider how Ra describes meditation as a means of allowing experiential data to "sink" into the roots of mind.
10.14 "The foundation or prerequisite of these exercises is a predilection towards what may be called meditation, contemplation, or prayer. With this attitude, these exercises can be processed. Without it, the data will not sink down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the body and touching the spirit."
Perhaps we are armored against or impervious to most catalyst. Though catalyst originates in the subconscious regions, processed catalyst tends to consciously register (if at all) in the more superficial layers of consciousness.
Perhaps, then, the higher self is optimally poised to register, process, and assimilate catalyst in a way that our veiled and armored 3D minds are not.
STILL . . . the totality of our third-density experience, regardless of the depth with which we felt and understood it in third density, is recorded in our being. The higher self contains this record.
Maybe there is some parallel to hypnotic regression whereby the adult self experiences an episode in the earlier life that could not at the time be processed. The adult self has the tools to understand and more fully experience the earlier episode which went un-processed.

It would be more concerned with the essence of catalysis, not the particular forms it takes in our experience.
Maybe you're saying something similar? What we register of catalyst and what the higher self in our shoes as the higher self would register exist at different ends of the catalyst spectrum.
