Plenum, so basically your saying that once the thought/emotion distortion is accepted rather than tried to be control, suppressed or overcome. One goes through the conscious effort of trying to understand why it was happening in the first place? Take for example drinking alcohol. On the surface level one could say its simply makes you feel good and that's why people drink. However if i contemplate on it a little more you could say that it allows me to forget about things and switch off for a night, so it could be seen as a rejection of catalyst and an orange ray distortion? When catalyst becomes to much to handle , such as an emotional issue one sure way to forget about it is through the use of drugs or alcohol to get a temporary feel good fix.
It basically boils down to the rejection of catalyst rather than loving accepting it. The question is, if one knows this, it doesn't necessary mean that one would simply stop drinking over night, you would still logically need to use a great deal of will power in order to let go of the distortion. The knowledge of a distortion alone isn't enough i believe to balance it out. One would need to be able not only to accept and understand the distortion but also to be able to use enough power of will to be able to fully let go of something.
