Positive/negative interpretations of a catalyst

[Tenet Nosce]

The condition of Gaia is a catalyst.

There is a difference between the planetary entity (the soul known as Gaia) and the body she inhabits (planet Earth.) Forms die and disintegrate, but the souls which inhabit them are eternal.

The above quote has awakened fascination in me each time when reading and contemplating it. The desire to aid society, or this planetary consciousness, is an intention to freely give universal love...

That's an interesting take on that quote. My read is that the desire to aid society may originate from any of the rays, or combination thereof. But the purest green-ray response would be to offer universal love. The attempt to change society through education or political activity would be more of a yellow-ray response. But there are no hard and fast rules, since there is overlap of intention among the rays.

But there is much suffering going on upon this planet, much actual suffering. Is this suffering "just" a catalyst for awakening compassion in us? Are we not supposed to do anything except "just" offering love, even though this love is freely given and universal?

No I don't think so. We do whatever we feel called to do. There is no right or wrong about this. For one who feels compelled to political action, the appropriate catalyst will be offered. It's just not a purely green-ray response to the situation.

Also, I might suggest that the witnessing of suffering could be just as much catalyst for love or faith as it is compassion. Personally speaking, when I see suffering, having faith that "All is Well" is much more difficult for me, than to respond with compassion.

But in truth there is no right and wrong, and as long as an entity uses the catalyst for its growth, then all is well and as it's supposed to be.

Exactly. And even if the catalyst goes unused, all is still well.
