Energy centers (the basics) [and advanced]

[Sacred Fool]

I agree. I also think the archetypes aid in deepening the understanding catalyst and how to use it properly while also speaking of the necessary changes that take place within the mind as a complex, the body complex and then the spirit complex.

I'm not so sure that the archetypes aid in understanding catalyst, rather, they're a schematic diagram showing the flow of process of the deepening of consciousness: as a diagrammatic device, they don't relate to specific content.  Specific content is what you and I are all about, that is, choosing our various pathways of exploration.

The archetypal diagram might suggest to you, okay, now that I've learned that I can program my catalyst to some degree, what do I do now?  But, again, this is only about process.  The content is different for all of us.

Swinging back towards including a discussion of the energy centers, both of these topics have little to do with armchair philosophising.  They're about integrating the unconscious and conscious selves through a program of transformative self-discovery.

Well, in some sense the archetypes actually kind of do suggest how to work with catalyst in this sense.  If one interprets the catalyst, thus making it into experience, and then simply moves on, one has one level of experience.  If one looks at the experience and then puts in a request to the potentiator for more of the same or some of the opposite or something else related, then one has a different level of experience.  If one can find deep significance in the experience which shape one's biases and moves towards or into transformation, then one has another level of experience.
