No matter the argument you make, I interpret it differently. Carla would even disagree with you, as she believes the harvest to be 'now'. I believe the harvest is a gradual process that culminates into an event..a revealing/welcoming probably years from now.
the fact that this sudden vs gradual argument continues, even among those who have been studying it for years, is precisely due to reasons tenet explained about the biases.
I would agree. I think anyone who thinks they have a clear idea of what harvest will be has only arrived at that conclusion because of bias.
Quote:ra had spent every effort not to leave it to interpretation. this is totally leaving aside the fact that when they left something to interpretation, they explicitly stated that, either by refusing to comment, or directly saying they left this to discretion of the seeker.
there is nothing interpretable about the revolving of the galactic spiral astronomically taking solar systems and planets from density to density with it. it is not something that can be interpreted - its an astronomical event. anyone agreeing or disagreeing with anyone else can not change this.
I would also agree with this. If we put any stake in Ra's words, harvest is going to happen, no doubt about it. Different people have different interpretations for Ra's words and I don't think anyone has a clear logical argument for it being sure to happen a certain way. A lot of people think they're interpretation is the only one which can be correct and they have (as we see) pages and pages of logical arguments to support their opinion, which like I said, I feel is derived from bias.
I don't have a "vision" for harvest, and I don't care which way it ends up (instant or gradual). It would be nice if it were instant, so we can get a taste of something different in the (possibly near) future, and it would also be nice if it were gradual, because it would offer plenty more chances for service and an interesting drama to watch unfold on this planet. However, I think there are some pretty heavy implications for putting so much faith in prophecy.
