That's the completely 'unnecessary' type of catalyst which results from being dishonest with oneself, basically. Ra also said that when something one is attached to, like the idea of a person, dies then "a bitterness and impatience, a souring" may ensue. The exact same catalytic dynamic is in operation behind many conspiracy theories. 'Faith and will', being rejected, are replaced with inflated importance on possibilities for victimization due to some form of control and domination. This creates the attachment to idea and loss at the hands of other-self. And so the souring creates opportunity for yet another (lower) level of catalyst which must be overcome before the higher level may be utilized.
At some point one has to come to terms with victimization and the world situation. The current situation is the result of personal choices. Yes the veil is heavy and has created a lot of difficulty, but it's not until one accepts responsibility for the social dynamic that has been created that we will make some decent strides in evolution.
The instinct of the spirit is to always place blame on everything outside of one's self. It's part of what "groping in the moonlight" refers to. "Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun. By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery."
The world is evil, everything is everyone else's fault, I play no part in my perception of reality..we grope ourselves..that is, we please and comfort ourselves in whatever way is necessary so that we are always the victim. Yet so much of the downfalls of civilization are a result of personal complacency. At some point one has to recognize the outer reality as having an inner congruency. After all, all of that stuff out there is you anyway. So rather than giving way to control and domination..victim-hood..one must start accepting various truths.
Quote:The power of which you speak is a spiritual power. The powers of the mind, as such, do not encompass such works as these. You may, with some fruitfulness, consider the possibilities of moonlight. You are aware that we have described the Matrix of the Spirit as a Night. The moonlight, then, offers either a true picture seen in shadow or chimera and falsity. The power of falsity is deep as is the power to discern truth from shadow. The shadow of hidden things is an infinite depth in which is stored the power of the One Infinite Creator.
The adept, then, is working with the power of hidden things illuminated by that which can be false or true. To embrace falsity, to know it, and to seek it, and to use it gives a power that is most great. This is the nature of the power of your visitor and may shed some light upon the power of one who seeks in order to serve others as well, for the missteps in the night are oh! so easy.
The role of disinformation and conspiracy is to reinforce the idea that we are always being dominated, so we have to be careful how much weight we put behind certain beliefs. It is for the purpose of diminishing the self as being powerless, so that one does not feel responsible..inducing separation..embracing falsity. When one feels separate or powerless from the outer reality, removing any kind of responsibility, one is disconnected from faith and will. This is the "power that is most great."
We are ultimately in control if it can be realized as such. Our thoughts and attitudes are important.
