I think the shocker will be that 4th density isn't cupcakes and rainbows...

According to Ra, the reason earth will become a 4D positive planet is because it was decided as much by the Council of Saturn, or by the beings who abide in the realms above our own.

I don't remember Ra saying anything like this. When Don asked why Earth would be 4D+, they said that this was because the positive harvest was much greater than the negative harvest (17.23). They also said that our local Logos skewed our archetypal mind to slightly favor positive polarization rather than negative (100.8).

I think it had to do with the guarding of the quarantine and the direction behind those actions; I will try to find the passage I am thinking about. I thought it had said that the Council was in charge of the general 'decisions' regarding the overall development of our planet in the macro, but I could be misremembering...

Regardless, it's a small point. Like you say, the positive harvest was much larger than the negative, which kinda fits in. Council or no council, the idea that there was enough of a negative harvest to push the planet towards that polarity doesn't hold any water as far as Ra's channelings go. That was my overall point.
