I think it's important to consider acceptance versus control of catalyst. This theme came up repeatedly in discussion of how much one should act in relation to bringing about a better world in other threads.
I myself tend to accept most catalyst, but there are definite instances where I learn from catalyst by increasing my power over it; in fact self-empowerment I believe was one of the key lessons for me. While it may seem paradoxical, I do not believe that it is inconsistent to accept the present and present catalyst, while seeking to have the power to control the future and future catalyst. I believe only when the power to control is exercised over other selves in contradiction to their unencumbered free will does the yellow run contrary to the green. I believe power and control, in some sense, can be characterized as the "love of future possibilities" (I believe all rays are a form of love).
Fascinating subject. Thank you for raising this topic! Kudos to vervex for a sexy diagram
