Relationship between one's greatest fear and spiritual progression

[xise]

Question: Is there any particular relationship required between an (incarnated) entity and it's greatest (incarnative) fear before a certain level of spiritual progress?

The narrowing of the answers as I see it:

Re: Harvest: Reading over the general Ra material, it seems that all that is required is 51% STO, and no particular relationship is required between an entity and its greatest fear.

Re: Hitting 8D: I figure you'll have to fully integrate and melt your fear with the unconditional love of your green ray center.

I'm asking because, as others have noted, the speed of catalyst is increasing. I feel I came to this incarnation to explore my greatest fear (issues of self-love/unlovability...which make no rational sense I know!! But I also know I will process this catalyst completely one day). And while I still feel like I am getting better relating to my greatest fear, I feel like it's been the slowest issue to work on for myself. I still feel I relate to my greatest fear through my yellow ray center; that is when I am struggling the most I just force myself through each hour through sheer willpower. I'm making progress on relating to it with an open green ray center, but when push comes to shove and I have a really "bad" day, I have a tendency to try to "conquer" the fear through willpower because the fear hits me hard enough to seemingly shut down my open heart because I'm afraid...I just do what it takes to go to work, put 110% into my work, and come home completely obliterated.

I'm asking this question because (1) I'm curious and (2) I'm trying to decide if (A) I devote all free time to resolving this stubborn problem which has diminished since my spiritual path started, but remains fairly stubborn or if (B) just focus on evolving spiritually generally and live my life with faith, hope, and just day to day, letting to good days and bad days pass over me as I have been. I desire (A) because I feel like if I was able to melt my greatest fear with love asap, I would be able to spread the love much more easily and with greater energy at work and in my personal life, but sometimes I feel (B) is a better way to handle things.

I sometimes feel like this dark night of the soul reoccurs, and I know there are no problems, only situations which require one's loving attention as Q'uo states...ah well. All is well
