The paucity (scarcity) of Honesty

[native]

No matter how genuine a communication is, if it is based upon dishonesty within the self, I don't believe it is an honest reaction.

But the question is, what exactly is it that allows us to move forward in our development of discovering the hidden layers of self? Because simply looking inward can often produce no results, or we think we understand, only to make new discoveries later. Genuine communication can only be synonymous with honesty, and Ra does suggest that the key to balance is unstudied honest response to catalyst. Though I agree with the point you're making.

For those who don't know the quote.."41.19 The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray."

Again, my experience has been that simply saying what's on your mind in the moment can produce insights instantly that no amount of inward reflection achieves, and it also frees one from the need to control the catalyst. We've all been in situations where someone is bothering us for some reason or another, which we hold in and try to overcome. Eventually in a moment of frustration, our feelings are released, and if the person continues to do that thing that we were trying to control, it no longer bothers us because we "got it off our chest".

So I maintain that this is essentially what is going on with catalyst in general and how we move forward. We hold within us this controlling energy, and no amount of suppression or inward reflection will make way for new insight or allow us to overcome that controlling energy. For something new to appear, in symbolic fashion, if what we hide within us is revealed, that energy is allowed to continue forward and make way for new insight. Ultimately I agree with your whole post, in that the spirit of being able to see things for what they are is the goal. My experience has been that the more you express yourself in the moment, the more developed blue ray becomes to the point where insight is achieved almost in the moment without the need to express outwardly.
