It was like "oh sorry but many time throughout this book she was totally WRONG - please forgive her"
It is very possible that "the Harvest" happened/concluded then.
Everyone says "the Harvest is now" but Ra said that in the 80s.
I have been into New Age literature since the early 70's. Ascension metaphysics seemed to be very popular in the 80's, when it was all supposed to happen. It didn't. Then the dates were move into the 90s and eventually up to 2012. I honestly think that when you base a metaphysical system on a material 3rd Density event, you are bound to discredit yourself to some extent. Even Abraham, a channeled entity, joined the pack and claimed the Ascension would be in the late 80's. I have noticed recently that NONE of those books are now available. I should have kept them just for historical purposes.
With Ra, there is so much more food for thought than the date of Ascension. Maybe Ascension is just a pipe dream, like the Rapture or any other promise of heaven on Earth. But I can accept that and still gain a tremendous amount from the Ra material. Afterall, humans create a structure for their seeking of spirit. It is like the structure that holds up vines or tomato plants. The structure is there to support the spiritual seeker. It may not be literally true, but it serves a valid purpose as a catalyst for potential spiritual growth. If a person just focuses on the prophecies and ignores all the other stuff about increasing your consciousness, love and wisdom, then the person has gone down a dead end trail. So I would advise not worrying about a REAL ascension and just see it as a quaint lovely idea. Meanwhile, focus on improving yourself even if there is no reward. As Sam Harris, the famous atheist often said, humans can be highly ethical moral beings without the fear of punishment or heaven after death. We do so because it is the right thing to do, and seems to be the most harmonious way to live.
