Thanks for pointing this out, Aion. Not sure whether we agree or not, so let me clarify my statement in the hopes that I can learn from you what I'm missing.
The way I model the process is like so:
- Starting with distortion in thinking, blockages manifest -- either as a result of thinking, or as part of the same process that entails the thinking
- Catalyst emerges from this potentiation that constitutes these blockages/thoughts
- Passing through the veil, catalyst informs the waking experience of the entity
- If the response to experience is a choice to change thinking, the blockage is unblocked and healing/polarization results depending on the choice
- If the response is to ignore the choice, the blockage persists, resulting in more catalyst and, depending on the degree of choice, polarization
- Since the body is the reflection of the mind, the body is the final inflection point of catalyst in experience
So what I'm wondering about your point, Aion, is this: surely catalyst affects spirit and body in addition to mind. But in terms of our agency in processing catalyst in waking incarnation, what is there available to us to change other than thought?
For what it's worth, I largely agree with the latter part of your post. There seems to be some sort of strange feedback loop that extends from spirit through mind into body, reaching an inflection point, and traveling back up. So as the mediator between spirit and body I ascribe a great deal of primacy to thought. But I am open to any alternative notion that would help me understand this better, so thank you for contributing and I hope you can help me clarify my thinking here.
