Programmed Catalyst

QUESTIONER: Does the soul begin to program its own catalyst or life experience for unblocking and balancing, after it has selected a path of polarization, be it positive or negative?

RA: That is correct. {v. III}

QUESTIONER: So is the purpose then of the incarnate physical state to experience programmed catalyst and evolve as a function of that catalyst?

RA: We shall restate for clarity: the purpose of incarnative existence is evolution of mind, body, and spirit. In order to do this, it is not strictly necessary to have catalyst. However, without catalyst the desire to evolve and the faith in the process do not normally manifest and thus evolution does not occur. Therefore, catalyst is programmed and the program is designed for the mind/body/spirit complex for its unique requirements. Thus it is desirable that you be aware of and hearken to the voice of your experiential catalyst, gleaning from it that which you incarnated to glean. {v. III}

Catalyst and Soul-Evolution

QUESTIONER: Does the sub-Logos [Solar Being] that formed our solar system provide the base catalyst for souls to evolve before they are able to program their own life-catalyst?

RA: This is partially correct. The sub-Logos offers catalyst at the lower levels of energy, the first triad [R1-3] -- these have to do with the survival of the physical complex [or conscious personality]. The higher centers [R4-6] gain catalyst from the biases of the soul itself in response to all random and directed experiences. [Higher centers are fed through polarization and self-chosen catalyst]

The less developed entity will perceive the catalyst of its life in terms of physical survival, with its own individual preferences. The more conscious entity, being conscious of the catalytic process [knowing that life-experience is for learning], will begin to transform the catalyst offered by the sub-Logos into catalyst which may act upon the higher E centers.

Thus, the sub-Logos can offer only a basic skeleton of catalyst. The muscles and flesh, having to do with the "survival" of wisdom, love, compassion, and service [R4-6] are brought about by the action of the soul itself. This then works upon the more basic catalyst [R1-3], so as to create a more complex catalyst, which may then be used to develop the higher energy centers.

The more advanced the entity, the more tenuous the connection between the sub-Logos and the perceived catalyst [its life- until, finally, all catalyst is chosen, generated, and manufactured by the self, for the self. {v. III}

Tracing the Path of Catalyst

QUESTIONER: Can you trace the path of this energy, its origin, form, and effect?

RA: The origin of all [cosmic] energy is the action of free will upon love. The nature of all energy is light. The means of its ingress into the mind / body / spirit complex is twofold.

(1) Firstly, there is the inner light which is Polaris of the self, the guiding star. This is the birthright and true nature of all entities. This energy dwells within.

(2) The second point of ingress is the polar opposite of the "North Star", and may be seen, using the physical body as an analog for the magnetic field, as coming through the feet from the earth and through the lower point of the spine [the root chakra points]. This point of ingress of the universal light E is undifferentiated until it begins its filtering process through the E centers. The requirements of each center and the efficiency with which the individual has learned to tap into the inner light, determine the nature of the use made by the entity of these in-streamings. {v. III}  

QUESTIONER: Does experiential catalyst follow the same path?

RA: Yes, since the path of catalyst and the requirements or distortions of the E centers are two concepts linked as tightly as two strands of rope. {v. III}  

QUESTIONER: Does this relate to the use of experiential catalyst as first experienced by the south pole and appraised with respect to its survival value, and then moving up the centers?

RA: We have addressed the filtering process by which in-coming energies are pulled upwards according to the distortions [blockages] of each E center and the strength of will or desire emanating from one's awareness of inner light. {v. III}  

QUESTIONER: So we have, coming through the feet and the base of the spine, the total E that the mind/body/spirit complex will receive in the way of what we call light. Each E center then filters out and uses a portion of this E, red through violet. Is this correct?

RA: This is largely correct. The exceptions are as follows: The E ingress ends with indigo. The violet ray is a thermometer or indicator of the whole. In the fully activated entity, only that small portion of in-streaming light needed to tune the E center is used, the great remainder being free to be channeled and attracted upwards.

It is correct that radiation without the necessity of response begins with blue ray although the green ray, being the great transitional ray, must be given all careful consideration, for until transfer of E of all types has been experienced and mastered to a great extent [broad acceptance of life-catalyst], there will be blockages in the blue and indigo radiations.

Again, the violet emanation is, in this context, a resource from which, through indigo, intelligent infinity may be contacted [R6-R7 linkage]. The radiation thereof will not be violet ray but rather green, blue, or indigo [manifest through R4-6] depending upon the type of intelligence which infinity has brought through into discernible energy [according to the individual's unique service]

The green ray type of radiation in this case is the healing [R4], the blue ray the communication and inspiration [R5], the indigo that energy of the adept which has its place in faith [R6]. {v. III}

Catalyst and Kundalini Energy

QUESTIONER: How can we correctly awaken the kundalini, and of what value would that be?

RA: It is extremely useful and appropriate for you to consider the metaphor of the coiled serpent being called upwards. This is what you are attempting when you seek. There are, as we have stated, great misconceptions concerning this metaphor and the nature of pursuing its goal [arousing the kundalini]. Please realize that we must generalize in our answers, and the basic misconceptions surrounding this topic also render what we have to share with you, less useful.

We have two types of energy. We are attempting then, as entities in any true color [any density] of this octave, to move the meeting place of inner and outer natures further and further along or upward along the E centers. There are two methods of approaching this in a sensible way.

(1) The first method is to learn how to seat within yourself all those personal experiences which are attracted to you through the south pole [the root chakra]. Each experience will need to be observed, experienced, balanced, accepted, and seated within yourself. As you grow in self-acceptance and awareness of catalyst, the location of the comfortable seating of these experiences will rise to a higher energy ray consciousness [from personal self-interest, R1-3, to universal service: R4-6]. Each experience needs to first be seated in red ray and considered as to its survival content, and then considered at each ascending chakra-level.

[In this way], each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking entity, first in terms of survival [R1], then in terms of personal identity [R2], social relations [R3], universal love [R4], in terms of how the experience may beget free communication [R5], in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies [R6], and finally, in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience [R7].

(2) Meanwhile the Creator lies within. In the north pole [R7], the crown is already upon the head and the entity is potentially a God. This E is brought into being by the humble and trusting acceptance of this E through meditation and contemplation of the self and of the Creator.

(1&2) Where these energies [ascending from R1, descending from R7] meet is where the serpent will have achieved its height. When this uncoiled E approaches universal love [R4] and radiant being [R6], the entity is in a state close to harvestability [into 4D+]. {v. II}

Catalyst and the Body

QUESTIONER: How do feelings affect portions of the body?

RA: It is nearly impossible to speak generally of these mechanisms, for each soul of their own seniority has their own programming. For less aware entities, the connection between mind/body conditions often seems random, as Higher Self continues producing catalyst until a bias [spiritual polarization: +] occurs. In each programmed individual [already polarized], the sensitivities are far more active, and catalyst not used fully by mind and spirit is then given to the body [i.e. the cause of various forms of "illness"].

You may see in the instrument [Carla], the numbing of the arms and hands, signifying her failure to surrender to the loss of control over her life. Thus, this [mental/spiritual] drama is enacted in the physical body [a form of catalyst for self-learning].

In the questioner, we see a desire not to be carrying the [mental/spiritual] load that it carries, which manifests physically as a soreness in those muscles for normally used for [physical] carrying. That which is truly needed to be carried is a pre-incarnative responsibility which currently seems highly inconvenient [to the questioner, Don].

In the case of the scribe [Jim], we see a weariness and numbness of feelings ensuing from lack of using catalyst designed to sensitize him to quite significant influxes of unfamiliar energies of the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. As the numbness removes itself from the higher or more responsive aspects [mind and spirit E fields], the physical distortions will vanish. This is also true of the other examples [Carla and Don: once they learn at mind/spirit levels, the physical conditions will disappear]. Of course, the totally efficient use of catalyst in 3D Earth is extremely rare {v. III}

Use of Catalyst on the Two Paths

QUESTIONER: It seems that those upon the positive path, as opposed to those on the negative path, would be attempting to utilize the first three rays in precisely the opposite manners. True?

RA: It is partially and even substantially correct. There is an E in each of the centers needed to keep the mind/body/spirit complex, which is the vehicle for experience, in correct conformation and composition. Both negative and positive entities do well to reserve this small portion of each center for the maintenance of mind/body/spirit integrity. After this point, however, it is correct that the negatively oriented entity will use the 3 lower centers for separation from and control over others by [R1] sexual means, by [R2] personal assertion, and by [R3] action in your societies.  

Contrary-wise, the positively oriented entity will be transmuting strong red-ray sexual energy [R1] into green-ray E transfers and radiation in blue and indigo, and will be similarly transmuting selfhood [R2] and place in society [R3] into E transfer situations in which one may merge with and serve others and then, finally, radiate unto others without expecting any transfer in return. {v. III}

The Catalyst of Anger

QUESTIONER: [Questions about how catalyst is created on the two spiritual paths]

RA: The mechanisms of generating catalyst do not depend upon the chosen polarity of a soul, but rather, upon the use or purpose to which the catalyst is put. For example, if one is using the catalyst or experience of anger to polarize consciously on either positive or negative paths, they will not have to experience its distorted effect in the body [such as cancer], but rather, they will be using the catalyst in some way mentally. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: Earlier you said that if positively oriented souls do not bring love to their anger, they might get cancer. You also said that if negatively oriented souls do not control their anger and turn it against others, they too may get cancer. What is the principle here, as it relates to catalyst?

RA: We will give you some examples. In the first case, an entity who is polarizing positively will first perceive their anger. If they choose to use this catalyst mentally, they will bless and love this anger, in itself and for themselves. [As a further practice], it will then consciously intensify this anger, within the mind [without destructive behavior], until the folly of this red-ray E is perceived.

To "perceive the folly of anger" is to recognize that it is just one form of self-energy, subject to spiritual entropy due to its randomness, and not particularly useful due to its lack of conscious direction. [The raw feelings of anger are, in and of themselves, not useful for spiritual polarization: they must be channeled by the conscious application of either love or control]

Having positive orientation, one will then have the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the [raw, uncontrolled feelings of] anger be understood, accepted, and integrated within the mind/body/spirit. The other soul who may have been the object of the anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation -- all of which will be reintegrated using the great E with which the anger began [an advanced practice]

On the other hand, a negatively oriented entity will use this anger in a similarly conscious fashion. They will refuse to accept the undirected or random energy of anger and instead, through their own will and faith, funnel this E into a practical means of venting its destructive aspect so as to obtain control over others, or otherwise control the situation which was the catalyst for their anger.

Control is the key to negatively polarized use of catalyst. Acceptance is the key to the positively polarized use of catalyst. Between these polarities [ineffective control, or incomplete acceptance] lies the potential for the random and undirected E of anger to create a bodily condition similar to what you call cancer, or the cancerous growth of tissue. {v. II}

QUESTIONER: So is it correct then, that if a positively polarizing entity fails to accept the other soul, or if the negatively polarizing entity fails to control the other soul, then either of these failures could cause cancer?

RA: This is partially correct. The first acceptance, or [the first] control depending upon polarity, is of the self. Anger is one of many things to be accepted and loved as a part of self, or controlled as a part of self, if the entity is to do spiritual work. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: Is it correct then, that if a negatively polarizing entity is unable to control his own anger or control himself in his anger, then he may cause himself to get cancer?

RA: This is quite correct. The negative polarization [path of service to self] contains a great requirement for control and repression. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: A repression of what?

RA: Any mental aspect [or which is emotional, is in and of itself disorganized, and needs to be repressed and then brought to the surface in an organized way in order to be useful to the negatively oriented entity. For instance, you may find some negatively polarized souls who control and repress such basic bodily needs as their own sexual desire -- so that through this practice [of self-control], their will may be strengthened and later used to enforce itself upon others with greater efficiency, when they later choose to allow themselves this sexual behavior. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: Then is it correct, that the positively oriented entity, rather than attempting to repress their emotions, would balance the emotion as you have previously stated?

RA: This is correct and illustrates the path of unity [love of self and others, without control]. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: So what is the basic plan for the use of the catalyst of cancer?

RA: This catalyst, as all catalyst, is designed to offer experience. This experience in your density may be loved and accepted [positive path], or instead, it may be controlled [negative path]. These are the two paths. When neither path is chosen, the catalyst then fails in its design, and the entity then proceeds [through the course of their lives] until some type of catalyst strikes it, which causes the person to form a bias towards acceptance and love, or instead, separation and control. There is no lack of space and time in which this catalyst may work. {v. II}

Anger, Cancer, and 4th Density

QUESTIONER: How does this process of anger leading to cancer act as a catalyst for spiritual growth, [and how does it relate to 4th density]?

RA: The 4th density is one of revealed information, and selves are not hidden to self or others. Various imbalances or distortions which are destructive appear in more obvious ways, and the body can be used as "a teaching resource" for self revelation [self-understanding and spiritual growth]. Illnesses such as cancer are therefore very amenable to self-healing, once the true nature of the destructive influence [mind/body/spirit distortion] has been grasped by the individual. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: Is it correct then that cancer can be healed quite easily, and also provide a good teaching tool, once the person can forgive the other soul at whom he is angry?

RA: This is partially correct. The other important portion of self-healing involves self-forgiveness and greatly heightened self-respect. This would also be expressed by taking care of one's diet. This is frequently a part of the healing and forgiving process [for cancer and other illnesses]. {v. II}

Fasting and Reprogramming Catalyst

QUESTIONER: How does fasting act to remove unwanted thought-forms?

RA: As in all healing techniques, it must be used by a conscious being -- someone who is aware that eliminating excess and unwanted material from the body is related to purging the mind or spirit of excess or unwanted material [psychological patterns]. The discipline or rejection of the unwanted material as not being an appropriate part of the self, has an effect down through the tree of mind at subconscious levels, where the [spiritual or symbolic] connection is made. The unified body, mind, and spirit then expresses this denial of excess or unwanted spiritual or mental material, as not being an appropriate part of oneself.

All that is unwanted then falls away and the entity, while still understanding and appreciating the rejected material as a part of the greater self, nevertheless, through the action of will, is able to purify and refine their mind / body / spirit. In this way, they are able to create the desired mental and spiritual attitudes. {v. II}  

QUESTIONER: Is this somewhat like consciously reprogramming your own catalyst? We know that the Higher Self may program catalyst and life-experience for some souls to help them release unwanted biases [personal distortions and karma]. Is this particular use of fasting actually a form of consciously programming this release, and making this [spiritual] communication to oneself?

RA: This is not only correct but may be taken further. The self, if conscious to a great enough extent of the workings of catalyst and the techniques of programming, may through concentration of will and faith alone, cause this kind of [spiritual] reprogramming without the need for fasting, changed diet, or any other symbolic body-disciplines or practices. {v. II}

Will and Reprogramming Catalyst

QUESTIONER: What are the techniques of catalyst-programming which the Higher Self or we ourselves can use to insure that we learn the desired lessons of 3rd density?

RA: There is but one technique for this growing or nurturing of will and faith [necessary to realize and learn particular , and that is the focusing of the attention [as in meditation or prayer]. The attention span of most children is considered short, but the spiritual attention span of most people on Earth is as short as that of a child. [Changing your life-catalyst, or learning lessons] is a matter of seeking to collect your attention, and then hold it upon the desired programming.

This, when continued, strengthens the will. [However], this entire activity can only occur when there exists faith that such an outcome of this discipline is possible [a quality of Self-trust]. {v. II}  

Catalyst of Pain in 4D

QUESTIONER: Is the catalyst of physical pain used as a mechanism for balancing in 4th density?

RA: The use of physical pain in 4th density is minimal, and only occurs at the end of a soul's incarnation in 4D. This physical pain [is mild, and] would not be considered severe enough to treat in 3rd density, and you would simply consider this type of pain "weariness". The catalyst of mental and spiritual pain are primarily used in 4th density. {v. II}
