what are the ways in which we avoid catalyst?

[Plenum]

yes, Icaro, I fully agree. Being able to work with catalyst fully effectively involves quite a knowledge of self and the processes of mind. It is definitely not an easy step to make. That's why I've always been impressed with the nature of Buddhism - is it less about belief patterns and idols and more about questioning the mind and addressing underlying assumptions about reality. That is what gives it its power (if used in the right manner).

I have found the following passage from Ra quite instructive in forming my own interpretative framework around the concept of catalyst. It illustrates how distortions of mind that are not addressed or recognised eventually find their way into the body as various types of distortions. And so the key to healing/addressing many of our physically-manifested ills is to find their root cause ... which is quite often an overlooked bias in mind that we chose to address in this lifetime in some way.

this passage has many sections, and much fruit:

61.7 Questioner: Second question: could you give an example of how feelings affect portions of the body and the sensations of the body?

Ra: I am Ra. It is nearly impossible to speak generally of these mechanisms, for each entity of proper seniority has its own programming.

Of the less aware entities we may say that the connection will often seem random as the higher self continues producing catalyst until a bias occurs.

In each programmed individual the sensitivities are far more active and, as we have said, that catalyst not used fully by the mind and spirit is given to the body.

Thus you may see in this entity the numbing of the arms and the hands signifying this entity’s failure to surrender to the loss of control over the life. Thus this drama is enacted in the physical distortion complex.

(re: Don)
In the questioner we may see the desire not to be carrying the load it carries given as physical manifestation of the soreness of those muscles for carrying used. That which is truly needed to be carried is a pre-incarnative responsibility which seems highly inconvenient.

(re: Jim)
In the case of the scribe we see a weariness and numbness of feelings ensuing from lack of using catalyst designed to sensitize this entity to quite significant influxes of unfamiliar distortion complexes of the mental/emotional and spiritual level. As the numbness removes itself from the higher or more responsive complexes the bodily complex distortions will vanish. This is true also of the other examples.

(re: not expecting too much of oneself)
We would note at this time that the totally efficient use of catalyst upon your plane is extremely rare.

the body, as always, is a reflection of the mind.
