Balancing Positive/Negative charges with their equal

[Karen55]

Hello all! I've been away for a while, studying. My understanding of catalyst is that its purpose is to teach us equanimity, that is, balance. Therefore, a catalyst cannot be "fixed" as in through Lasik surgery, nor can the lesson it intends be learned by ignoring it. What I have learned is to view both sides of the coin to, as Aion put it "examine your mood, feelings and how your emotions and thoughts change when you encounter thoughts you like and thought you don't like." That lets me know what I need to work on accepting within myself and use that knowledge to bring my feelings into balance. Aaron and Q'uo stated that how we feel is not as important as how we react to our feelings; we all feel fear from time to time, but it arises to call our attention to something. This doesn't mean we must allow the "fight or flight" response to control us, but rather accept that fear and allow it to pass through, neither embracing it nor reviling it. This is what I gleaned from my studies- I do not claim to be an expert, but this has helped me achieve a level of equanimity during events that might have driven me to my death before I learned how to balance on life's tightrope. Love and Light to you all.
