Is all the talk of "activation" just bullshit to get you to look outside yourself?

Am I misunderstanding you in thinking that you're implying here that balance and polarisation are the same?

They are the same to me.

Do you have any examples to show increase in say sto through just acknowledging disparity between wholeness and state of being vulnerable to a certain catalyst?

No.

Also, it seems that you would already have to have some idea of what 'wholeness' is with respect to some catalyst to distinguish a disparity between catalyst and it. But at that point just being in accord with your idea of wholness would cancel out any catalyst. ?

The disparity is there, obviously, due to the distortions. What may be felt with respect to this disparity is not being congruent - this feeling may be from vague to striking. The way catalyst is interpreted will suggest the source of this incongruency - or lack of acceptance or acknowledgement.

I don't see how catalyst gives one an idea of wholeness?

It is the only thing here that can introduce you those areas which have not been addressed.

Or futher how one could get that idea and still be susceptible to catalyst to see a disparity. Confused. Sorry if this is something minor I'm not seeing.

The connection is not entirely evident at first, it is a process of taking a look at the quality of emotional responses to some situation, for example. And when that has been done, to take a look at why and how that particular response was elicited. What was the core misunderstanding?
