what are the ways in which we avoid catalyst?

[Plenum]

catalyst is that thing which is recognised by the self as being the trigger or lever for change that will lead to unblocking.

so in all respects, catalyst is a force for greater balance. So that being the case, why does Ra mention on many occassions that this planet has lots of unused catalyst? what is it about our society that leads to an avoidance of catalyst?

I can think of a few (from my own life).

* we don't acknowledge the catalyst (a case of denial. It is like having kitchen waste in the bin, and it gets smellier and smellier, and yet we refuse to acknowledge there is a problem, becuz if we did, we would have to do something about it (ie stop being lazy and do something different than what we are currently doing) ).

* we acknowledge the catalyst, but don't want to talk about it (talking about one's emotions, feelings and current state allows others to offer their viewpoints and perspective, and is in a way, a 'calling' for assistance to help resolve the situation. When we bottle it up inside, we are not allowing for the full opportunity to resolve the catalyst. Talking about it (with friends, with people on these forums) enables a greater 'light' to be shone on the catalyst, and then its subsequent resolution).

* we acknowledge the catalyst, but its too painful, and don't want to deal with it (this is the approach of distraction and sleep. I had a friend's father who was a heavy drinker over many many years becuz they had an underlying depression issue. Instead of facing the catalyst of depression, they 'dulled' it out of existence by getting drunk-faced every opportunity they could while still maintaining the apperance of a job and a family. But using drugs in this way (this particular way) with things like alchohol and in the old days, opium, is a way of not thinking about the catalyst, ie not dealing with it essentially).

* we 'project' the catalyst onto someone else (in this case, we don't even really acknowledge, own, or realise that the catalyst is 'ours'. We hold onto the belief that the catalyst is someone else being lazy, someone else being distorted, or someone else being a troublemaker. It's all 'them' and not in any way related to us. This is a mental mis-identificaiton with the catalyst, and as such, it cannot be used or processed by the self until this is seen to be the case).

anyway, learning to view and accept all the catalyst that is present in my life has enabled a greater use of it (more efficient processing) and as such, I believe, can accelerate one's progress ... if that is what one wishes for.

66.34 Catalyst is offered to the entity. If it is not used by the mind complex it will then filter through to the body complex and manifest as some form of physical distortion. The more efficient the use of catalyst, the less physical distortion to be found.

...

We over-generalize as always, for there are many cases of pre-incarnative decisions which result in physical or mental limitations and distortions, but we feel that you are addressing the question of widespread distortions towards misery of one form or another.

Indeed, on some third-density planetary spheres catalyst has been used more efficiently. In the case of your planetary sphere there is much inefficient use of catalyst and, therefore, much physical distortion.
