this is zen from a little while back, but still highly pertinent and true:
this 'constant and unrelenting feedback' is the state of your mind and consciousness. These are the 'feelings'.
if there is balance, there is acceptance and love as the emotional undergirding ... if there is anything else, then some discordance will be felt.
and working with catalyst, one will be almost compelled to see the catalyst as 'external' and the 'other'. That is because the catalyst is pointing to something that has not been accepted by the self yet, and so indeed, it is regarded as 'separate' and 'outside'.
if the catalyst is worked with effectively, the end state is that you should be able to call to mind the event or person that triggered the catalyst, and view them with a loving glance. If you call that person to mind, and there some feeling of 'they need to change this' or 'they need to adjust their behaviour' or 'they make me feel bad' ... then the catalyst is still working it's way in the mind. Of course, the 'image' you have of that person in your head has almost ZERO relationship to the person themselves ... you are just holding onto a memory of an experience or interaction when you call that individual to mind. The catalyst is nothing more than an internal actor in your consciousness ...
when that individual can be viewed with a loving and accepting eye, then that corresponding portion of the self has been effectively integrated and accepted.
all interactions and all relationships we ever have are just triggers to see the portions of the spectrum of consciousness that have not been claimed as self yet. And most likely, for an individual who has lived a reasonable amount of time on this planet, those 'unclaimed' portions have actively been rejected or diminished sometime in the past, rather than merely being unexplored parts of the self.

After all you have all the information for balancing available as constant and unrelenting feedback. If it's another person's catalyst being observed, you have that as well in the form of their set of personal symbols which will be automatically translated to your set.
