is 'intensive' -
* 100x more plentiful
* 100x more stronger (Ra refers to higher densities as having more 'etiolated' or thin or weak catalyst compared to third)
* or 100x more 'effective' in the changes that can be brought about in consciousness
or maybe all of the above?
I know its just a single adjective, and one needs to consider the bulk totality of how Ra describes the action of catalyst in 3d, but would like to hear your opinion on it. cheers.
and do you reckon catalyst is too much in your life personally?
In my opinion, it's all of the above.
The catalyst is the contrast, or difference, between what we desire, and what we are actually experiencing. This contrast points out the distortions in our consciousness.
We think we know what we want, we think we know why we want it, we even think we know how to get it sometimes. But since we actually don't, inevitably, we have to face these distortions within ourselves. Contrast is the result of resistance, or we might even say it is a failure to accept "what is". We could also say this failure to accept is equal to suffering, for if there were a full and pure acceptance of all, there could be no contrasting, negative perception of it. However, true acceptance of something requires a true and undistorted understanding of it.
The pain, whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual, points out the places in our consciousness where we are futilely trying to shove square pegs in round holes. These would be beliefs, thought structures, and biases of that ilk, which are not fully consonant with and understanding of the Law of One. Much of this is unconscious for us. Our work is to make it conscious. Catalyst assists us in this process.
The catalyst/contrast is very intense in 3rd density due to the fact that we are simultaneously capable of self-aware abstract thought, and thus very complex desires, and also due to the fact that our consciousness is still so very distorted at this level from the macrocosmic reality.
That is a recipe for "intensity" my friend. Here we are forged in fire.
And yes, I feel there have been times in my life when the catalyst seemed like too much to bear. However, Ra and other spiritual sources have said we are never given more than we can handle so maybe what I think I can't bear is much different from what I actually can.
Cheers.
