Some people get caught up in the idea that if they take a step forward it will be 'two steps back'. I have found a novel approach is that you take your step back first, get it over with, and then take two steps forward.
I am glad you have been able to perceive my effort here. It does appear on the surface that I am 'confirming' what he is saying about himself, but in that, by being another person, I'm giving him a chance to see if that's really what he's willing to accept. I am, to be completely honest, trying to ignite that fight or flight instinct and trying to get some fight going.
I'm not saying those things because I think they are right or true, but because I have some faint hope that he might actually refute me.
Actually, I'm using one of the techniques that Ra offered, just instead of using anger I am applying it to depression.
So, basically, you have to get to rock bottom and see that there's nowhere to go but up. The same energy that goes in to your passions is locked up in your depression.

Quote:46.9 Questioner: Certainly.
Ra: The entity polarizing positively perceives the anger. This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger in itself. It then intensifies this anger consciously in mind alone until the folly of this red-ray energy is perceived not as folly in itself but as energy subject to spiritual entropy due to the randomness of energy being used.
Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began.
The negatively oriented mind/body/spirit complex will use this anger in a similarly conscious fashion, refusing to accept the undirected or random energy of anger and instead, through will and faith, funneling this energy into a practical means of venting the negative aspect of this emotion so as to obtain control over other-self, or otherwise control the situation causing anger.
Control is the key to negatively polarized use of catalyst. Acceptance is the key to positively polarized use of catalyst. Between these polarities lies the potential for this random and undirected energy creating a bodily complex analog of what you call the cancerous growth of tissue.
So, basically, you have to get to rock bottom and see that there's nowhere to go but up. The same energy that goes in to your passions is locked up in your depression.
