Grit & Transmutation - Steppingfeet - 07-09-2021 Grit & Transmutation In 95.24, Ra says that, for the positively oriented seeker, “there is no outward shelter in your illusion from the gusts, flurries, and blizzards of quick and cruel catalyst.” So when quick and cruel catalyst assails one, what is the response? How is it held? How does it affect the attitude and the orientation? The possibilities range an infinite spectrum, from bitterness to anger to bellicosity to depression to diminishment of acceptance/love to giving up to wanting to crawl into a hole and die. But Ra speaks of another possibility in the same quote: Quote: I am not in any way claiming to be among the “pure,” but I have worked long enough with quick and cruel catalyst using the spiritual tools gifted to us in the perspective of the Law of One to have verified and tasted, for my self, the reservoir of wisdom contained in Ra’s statement. *******
Grit is a word that comes to mind when I contemplate the attitude to which Ra points. What is grit? I think it is a certain tenacity of perspective that simply endures the hard and cold winds. Maybe grit complains and vents a little as a therapeutic act of processing, but if so, that venting contributes to grit only a small pressure-relief valve which may make space for the heart muscle to continue its exercise of endurance. This complaining/venting, however, is not without risk, because if dwelled upon, intensified, and enlarged – not in the way of the balancing exercises but in the way of un-mindfully feeding the inner shadows – then it can sour the attitude and lead the seeker astray from its highest aim: union with the Creator. Ultimately, grit is a dogged refusal to give into a self-defeating mindset. In acts of physical endurance, one thinks of the extremes: the ultra-marathoner, the mountaineer, the triathlete, the olympian, etc. But while the body can express grit, its origin is fundamentally of a psycho-spiritual nature—of the mind, of the spirit. One thinks of intense and/or unrelenting psychological pressure: the mother working multiple jobs, the caretaker of a severely physically and/or mentally ill loved one, the poverty-stricken, the target of judgement and accusation, the receptacle of demands and expectations of others, the (and I’m not claiming any of this for myself but it’s a common enough occurrence in history) persecution, say of a religious or racial minority, or he or she who is perceived by some quality to be different and inferior. Grit, alone, doesn’t yield the transmutation of catalyst which results in the transformation of self. It is, rather, that baseline capacity that allows the strength to flow into the being sufficient to keep one foot in front of the other. And for those who blend grit with… Quote: …then the stepping feet join, at the other end of the body, the head held high, literally or figuratively. (In a blizzard, one may need to keep the head down.) It is tenacity, resilience, backbone, endurance, and focus – a keeping of the eye on the “prize,” as it were. And for the positively oriented student of evolution, that prize is the realization of self as the Creator. *******
That baseline of grit held to in the face of hard catalyst is needed to keep the self upright so that transmutation of catalyst may occur. And to the self who, by calling upon grit, stands tall, figuratively speaking, the energy centers can remain open. In this openness, the upward spiraling light can flow north through the system to meet and mate with the downward spiraling light, the inner fire, the Polaris of Self, the true nature, the Creator indwelling within. This happens because a mindset has been increasingly crystallized which understands that *however painful and challenging the catalyst*, there is no true threat to identity. Many things in the world and about the self can, indeed, be threatened, whether physical harm to the body or loss of property or even reputation. But ultimately the mindset of transmutation understands that, quite literally, catalyst is unfolding in an helpful fashion. That is, the entire intelligent universe and everything that transpires in your life is geared toward offering you this catalyst for your spiritual evolution. “It’s rigged—everything, in you favor,” Rumi reminds us. It is all conspiring for your growth, but it is responsively being shaped according to your use, skillful or otherwise, of free will. Quote: What perspective could be more self-empowering than to look out upon the landscape of one’s present and one's biographical past and see everything as catalyst, as fuel for one’s spiritual growth? And that you have been aided in this growth: Quote: This holds true even when our pain seems in a run-away condition of overabundance. Quote: *******
I am sure that in a moment of strength and inspiration, this orientation can be spontaneously adopted and applied such that transmutation of catalyst and subsequent transformation of self results immediately. However, in my experience, this orientation or mindset is one born of diligent and sustained work over time, through successfully processing the constant iterations of catalyst thematically patterned around the use – unconscious or conscious, skillful or otherwise – of our free will. It is a crystallization of the self, a rendering of the incarnate personality transparent to ever-present One Creator, and the creating of a new kind of entity which can face and process these difficult moment such that… Quote: *******
This movement from grit to transmutation requires the disciplining of the personality and the disciplined use of will, as the above text alludes to, but it is as nothing without the synthesis of will’s counterpart, the faculty of faith. What is faith in essence but a deep and abiding, consciously sought trust that all is well; that all is whole, complete, and perfect; that, no matter the surface appearances, even unto loss of life and limb, the universe is with and working for one. In this vulnerability, the self - as the very first quote in this essay spoke to - has no “protection,” as it were, from catalyst. The experience of the moment and the energies therein cannot be defended against. While outward action may need to be taken to draw boundaries, to shine light into shadow, to bring clarity where it is lacking, on an interior level the catalyst is met head-on without inner resistance, which is to say, the catalyst is met with acceptance. The self softens, the hard edges are made round, the resistance to death and the existential pain of living a separate identity are yielded in the disarming vulnerability of wholeness against the backdrop of everlasting perfection. I don’t see that acceptance as a meek acquiescence to harmful behavior, or as an act of martyrdom, or a passivity which seeks not to build a more beautiful world, but as an energy that, in its highest form, dovetails and merges into true-self-realization. So radically deep does acceptance go that discovering the heart of true acceptance approaches enlightenment itself: all energies of life are brought into the heart to be realized as distortions of the Creator, in trust of the Creator. This integration and balance is the path of unity. Thus is acceptance the roadway to the end of separation and illusion. This circle of acceptance grows to include discomfort, pain, and the many cruelties of human beings. It grows to include your whole self as you are, in your totality, the light and the dark. It is from this perspective that judgment of self and others dissolves. The vision then lifts to behold the Creator who had always been fully present, just hidden by non-acceptance. Only through acceptance does the Creator begin to reveal its Self from beneath the mirages of illusion. Only through acceptance can the third-density game be won: Quote: RE: Grit & Transmutation - tadeus - 07-10-2021 Thank you for your thoughts about transmutation of catalyst and grit! I would say that this massive catalyst is necessary to push the mass of the people out of the Sinkhole of Indifference Ra has talked about. The people that are already out of this sinkhole needs grit to come over this time.

RE: Grit & Transmutation - meadow-foreigner - 07-10-2021 Very well-written topic. I have nothing to add but my congratulations. RE: Grit & Transmutation - KaliSouth - 07-10-2021 Steppingfeet, I just wanted to share a personal message that I recieved to illustrate your explanation, which is very well put. I have been wondering what I need to do to move into the power of my higher vibration and serve the purpose I incarnated here for. I clearly don't fit into the 3D madness, so the old ways of Planet Earth are clearly not my game to play. I have a "New Age" therapist helping me through this. My treatment plan involves meditation and affirmations. All of my wondering was not satisfactorily helping me. I decided to visit a shaman who confirmed some of the messages I have received from my guides. What a beautiful energy! I asked her what I was supposed to do to make progress with my guardian angel, who has been guiding and protecting me through this journey. Not only did the shaman's description of my guardian match a description that someone completely unrelated gave me, but she also cofirmed my intuition that I had to work for my guardian. That is, I am being taught and moved along my path with the assistance of my guardian. She is my tutor. One of the other things that came out of our discussion was some of the physical ailments I have which are extremely uncomfortable and annoying but not life-threatening. This goes straight to your point about needing a catalyst to push us. The shaman told me that my guardian was causing these ailments. They were not anything to be concerned about, but would be relieved when I moved to the correct path. It was really a wonderful experience and also catalysed my developing approach to this incarnation. Your explanation is a great explanation of what I am going through.

Thank you, tadeus. Your first sentence reminds me of Ra's short sidebar when they say "It is to be noted that among your entities a large percentage of all progression has as catalyst, trauma." I don't see that trauma is strictly necessary in the third-density environment. It, like disease, is an outgrowth of widespread and chronic inefficient use of catalyst. When the entities are not doing their homework, not using their catalyst, then the catalyst grows louder, you could say. Trauma, disease, or crisis may result. Those three aspects of experience - trauma, disease, and crisis - can be pre-incarnationally programmed as teaching tools, of course. But I think that they are also mechanisms to promote what you indicate above: the pushing people out of their personal and collective Sinkhole of Indifference. We were a more harmonious world making more efficient use of catalyst, and much less bellicose, I believe that trauma and disease would be far less rampant. And in such a world filled with more conscious beings, conscious of the processes and mechanisms of spiritual evolution, healers would be far more effective in catalyzing the healing of root causes instead of treating symptoms.

I didn't specify it but you're totally right, in my opinion, that physical ailments are also integral to the processes I examined above. It is such a huge flipping of the script to see physical/mental challenges as designed catalyst, designed either on the pre-incarnational or incarnational (likely very subconscious) level. And your post illustrates how empowering it can be when one comes to realization that they are not the victim of cruel fate (cruel though the impact of the catalyst may seem), but they are its authors, ultimately; and that catalyst, physical ailments included, are teaching tools. I think that this is why Confederation sources so consistently commend to the seeker the discipline of offering "praise and thanksgiving." The giving of gratitude for that which is difficult helps to clear the eyes sufficient to find the gift and the blessing, the meaning and the purpose, and the positive use of catalyst. Affirmation, as you note, falls into this category too. (And reminds me of 73.19.) So cool as well that you are able to perceive such direct communication and support from your guides. I have had innumerable moments of support and guidance in my life, but very very seldom is it ever consciously perceived, save for the more obvious synchronicities. RE: Grit & Transmutation - Dtris - 07-10-2021 Grit is an attribute and even a word which has become hard to come by except in breakfast. Whether it is modern society or just a function of too much convenience, grit is something which is not seen as a positive attribute by many. The new age masses market a simple fix, with minimal investment, that makes everything EASY. Ease, is the name of the game of modern life. Information? Google it. Need a specialist? Google it. How to fix something? Google it. What about being outside in the rain and the wind? What about working thru the storms and the heat waves. What about ENDURING. You have brought about an important point, grit is necessary at some point to be able to transmute the negative into the positive. Ease is good when you begin the journey, but when you have survived the storms, the lessons speak louder. What is important is that Grit can be developed. The mind and body can be taught to be resilient and endure hardship. This can be done in different ways. Any way you do, the grit allows you to get to the other side of the hard times as a better, more complete, and more accepting and forgiving person. Grit is under rated.

That's right but I would say we must differ between your own preincarnatic catalyst and the catalyst that is given to a social memory complex / mass of individuals. Q'uo is only talking indirect about this topic i accidentally read yesterday : Saturday Meditation May 20, 2017 Quote:Gary: Q’uo, not having the Confederation’s viewpoint or framework of spirituality, many in this world might feel despair, feeling that humanity has not a hopeful but a tragic outcome ahead of itself. How many in this world are in such despair, and how can despair be transformed to a hopeful orientation of the soul? So this mass of catalyst hopefully has the task to make the transformation possible, even it is coming as trauma. RE: Grit & Transmutation - Patrick - 07-11-2021 "the great pitch of light is held high above such an one so that all interpretation may be seen to be protected by light" ~ Ra That sounds like eternal optimism no matter what is happening. ![]() Many may see this attitude as foolish, but it's really just faith that all really is well always no matter what. And as you said Gary, we are allowed to complain a bit from time to time when our perception is wounded enough to hide for a little while that great truth that all is well always. RE: Grit & Transmutation - tadeus - 07-11-2021 Eternal optimism sounds good - loosing it will take all the grit with it. The discussion in this thread is part of generating grit.

And for those who blend grit with… Naturally there is some truth in this, but it seems to me there are other significant factors left out. Tenacity, resilience, etc. come in to play in situations of adversity and, for me, the key elements of the adversity are usually internal. Ergo, the backbone, endurance and all that are necessary to, basically, prevail over the self because that's usually whom we're resisting. We're usually resisting our own self-limiting stories which are derived from past (i.e., no longer existing) experiences. It's these stories, in large part, which prevent us from recognising our self on the level of the green ray, blue ray and so on. From 4.20 Wrote:Ra: I am Ra. The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator. In the upper quote, grittiness supposedly allows one the "radiation of self regardless of any actions from another," but that radiation on the level of the blue ray, I would say, comes not by way of tenacity against adversity, but via recognition of self within on that particular level of vibration (blue ray, in this instance). This could happen with gentleness or grittiness or something else. So, in my view, grit can help keep one in the game when one is in the stage of struggling within the illusion, but when self is largely balanced and accepted--that is, when catalyst is less physical and emotional, but more spiritual--attributes which are more radiant become more important in the quest of finding self within, recognising the Creatrix inside the fleshy box.

For instance that you simply are here and can go nowhere else, or it makes no sense to go somewhere else. We are resisting because we loose our individuality / free will and go into STS as slave when we will not resist. Yesterday i read this interesting channeling: September 3, 2017, Homecoming Meditation Q’uo Wrote:Now, a situation of great confusion inevitably arises when one makes every effort to give this kind of ground only to discover that every inch one gives is taken, and more is constantly demanded, up to the point that one’s own free will is being infringed. At some point, it does become necessary to find a way to step back from such engagements, and it can be the case that when the prospect of being dominated by a resolute seeker of the self is imminent that one might need to act rather precipitously, to act in a way that can even seem, on its face, to be violent, and in that violence, of course, we will confess there is negativity.

I would suggest that one has a choice in any of such circumstances to participate as if the outward drama was the thing of primary importance and choose one's reactions accordingly, or participate as if the underlying reality was yet another invitation to search within for one's true identity, as best as one can do this, and then stand in resonance and accord with that deepest self-revelation. As I see it--not trying to be dogmatic or extreme about it--one is the way of being lost in the fun house illusion while the other is the way of, as I said, self-revelation.

That's indeed a possibilty. In your suggestion i would ask how you will participate for instance in the Covid-trauma searching within an true identity? I can find absolutely no resonance with any deepest self-revelation there. When you will include the option to name it a madhouse and not only fun house illusion i will agree. This is not restricted to the example of Covid.

Recently, an old friend was told by a cardiologist that the nearest thing her EKG resembled was some particular condition, but they would need to do further tests to confirm that. She went home and looked up the condition and found that it is not treatable, that you might die within a year and would definitely be dead within five years. She then found herself sobbing and sobbing uncontrollably. The further tests contraindicated that diagnosis, but the catalyst she experienced has propelled her into thinking in a very focused manner about how she wants to spend the next few years of her incarnation. The way one can decide such things is by looking within to see what matters most. What does one identify with that has the deepest, most beautiful resonance? Beyond the catalyst of facing mortality, there is the catalyst of the general pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of loved ones, limiting opportunities for so many and changing all of our lifestyles. For me, the same thing applies. I ask myself, how should I spend my time to best be of service to my deeper self and to others? Is this planet a madhouse? I would say that one's view of things is an expression of the sub-density of 3D one is currently enjoying. At a different sub-density (i.e., being able to metabolise and work with a different level of Divine Light and Love), this world may look beautiful, despite its struggles. It's very hard to convey the perspective this different metabolism allows, but it takes things FAR less personally. You know how you can take a picture of a scene using visible light or infrared light to show heat signatures? Imagine a picture using the vibration of love to capture the scene. What do you think that would show of our planet if love was imprinted on the screen instead of visible or other sorts of light? It might just be a much richer picture than you would imagine.

I would add here the work of different other people that have shown that the most cases of disease are a result of the situation in our live. So when you really hate your work and live there will come a monday with a cardiac infarction, just to avoid to must go to work again.

This was really meant as additional view. When i look around there is a rich picture, that has many dark corners, specially where a mass of people are living in a condensed way. There is a correlation between consciousness for the nature and love. And there are black areas where people dominate over other people, specially in a manner telling that they only want to protect the other one.

It's these stories, in large part, which prevent us from recognising our self on the level of the green ray, blue ray and so on. "Adversity" in quick definition is defined as "difficulties; misfortune." I think that adversity would be synonymous with, or at least one variety of, the "quick and cruel catalyst" in the opening quote of this thread. In exploration of your notion above, the source of all catalyst is, ultimately, the self. In its illusory separate state, the self is constituted of of limiting beliefs/programs about who the self is. The higher function of catalyst is to help the limited self realize the unlimited self. Thus on the road to the infinite self, the limited, separate self must experience its dross and outer husks ground away to make its countours transparent to see and embody/become/return to the infinite self (insofar as those outer husks don't just effortlessly fall away on their own through hyper-effecient use of catalyst). This grinding action, as it were, could manifest as "quick and cruel catalyst" or adversity. But in the marshaling of grit, I'm not sure that it's helpful to locate the pain/resistance as simply a "self-limiting story" which we carry with us from a no-longer-existing past. For instance, the loss of a spouse who had been their lifelong best friend and companion to, say, a car accident. There is no "outward shelter," says Ra. That form of catalyst may land as cruel. And the pain that arises therefrom comes ultimately, yes, from identification with form and lack of perfect realization of the eternity and unity of all things. However, endurance of the grit variety may still be needed. For instance, Carla had to call upon grit in her seven years through the desert following Don's death. Without that, she might have followed him. Most of us will be rocked by modes of suffering that defy our comprehension, at least at first, and to get through it, even if ultimately generated by the self in the metaphysical universe, we as conscious incarnate entities may first need to figure out just how to endure.

The closer an entity comes to this attitude the closer an entity is to balance.

Thanks, Patrick. : ) RE: Grit & Transmutation - Sacred Fool - 07-13-2021 Personally, I just don't feel that grit and transmutation are truly partners. As I said, grit can certainly help keep you in the game, but to transmute something is to change one substance or form into another, such as negative energy into positive energy, and this is done, I would say, through the heart, not by will. Here's a Q'uo passage to illustrate this. https://llresearch.org/transcripts/issues/2020/2020_0111.aspx Wrote:Jan: Yes. There is a query from David and David says, “What are demons? How did those beings become so separated of the love and the purposes of the Creator? Again, to me--for what it's worth--this is self awareness, not perseverance and struggle against self.

Thank you for your comment and this good quotation. At this time we experience the daemon of pandemic, that is "personally constructed" too, but not only for one individuum and it is manifested from the social group complex. How can you transmutate such a manifested fear into love? When you will not share this fear, you will need grit to come over this time of fear of other self.

This may sound strange, but some find that as you go deeper into knowing your own levels of consciousness of being, the desire to affect such things in the outer world directly begins to decrease and the power of the inner world--such as transmuting fear within oneself into love--becomes more and more compelling. So, one answer to your question is that, while no one person can easily modulate the fear of many, one person who is dedicated to such work can greatly decrease the fear in the personal being. And the resonance of the person being will move out into the social group.

When i meditate in the nature alone i can feel two things: I can feel the vibration of love coming from the fourth density into second density and i can feel much distortion / confusion and pain in the group consciousness of the third density. Trying to attenuate this distortion and pain cost much more energy i have, so i can only send my love into the group consciousness. I can only transmutate fear from soul to soul in a direct communication with another self. Additional i can confirm the biorhythm of spirituality / magic within 18 days, Ra has explained in 61.3. RE: Grit & Transmutation - yossarian - 07-18-2021 (07-13-2021, 11:51 PM)Sacred Fool Wrote: I agree that transmutation isn't through will but it's also not only through the heart. Transmutation occurs through indigo ray as well. The will can springboard from yellow to indigo allowing powerful magical transmutation without green ray activity Grit is usually not thought of as struggle, but perseverance is accurate. Self-awareness comes from perseverance because persevering through catalyst is what allows one to see patterns and what leads to self knowledge It also might be worth remembering how important Ra said the will is, as one of the most important components in developing the magical personality.

Quote:Self-awareness comes from perseverance because persevering through catalyst is what allows one to see patterns and what leads to self knowledge That is true, again, in the sense that "grit" helps keep you in the game. Surrendering to Oneness in the form of Love, I would say, is likely a more significant factor in spiritual transformation...if one has survived long enough to be able to do that.
