Catalyst Questions

[zenmaster]

The intuition is our interface to the 'new' (what is still unconscious), with the possibility of what it offers becoming conscious and accepted. Yet, it is extremely easy to stifle that integrating experience or ownership of it with forced ambiguity, conflation, inflation, exaggeration, sign worshiping, conspiracies, ufo seeking, spiritual 'pride', spiritual 'mission', etc.

Is it possible then that I was too hasty with my labeling of this event as catalyst and looking for a lesson within it?

If there is any interest in some area, then there is a 'lesson' associated with it.

Can you possibly offer any insight on ways to distill the information received from intuition with a minimum amount of 'distortion.' I feel like I would have a high propensity for exaggerating information received.

Look at Q/A 5:2. You find out how you actually think and/or feel towards the info and you build an idea of it as an experience. That's why we have these frontal lobes, for processing what is introduced from the unconscious so that it may become useful experience. The archetypal principle is the tarot's "experience of mind" (king on throne).

It is not possible to exaggerate info once it's been accepted, because once one is aware of it, it can not be coming from the unconscious in the form of such a compulsory reaction to its charge.
