Excogitations upon the veil of forgetfulness which encompasses this density.

Heck, even the "ultimate" Choice of STS or STO delivers catalysts, doesn't it?

It's not just the catalysts (opportunities), it's the awareness of that catalyst, and then the use of "faith" and "will" to choose, which is important. The more aware, the less are needed and those needed are less harsh (inevitable suffering). And of course, the faster the lessons are learned.

There are misunderstandings or certain attachments which are cultivated and result in a need for more catalyst than would otherwise be necessary. Indeed, we develop special skills to ignore that which "assaults our senses". Yes, the elaborate conspiracy-theory weaving, appeal to impotence, is one.
