The greatest irony in everyone who awaited immediate "ascension."

[Jade]

Where do you draw the line between yellow and green? When the threshold is crossed the change is so subtle that it's hard to perceive. We're still pretty yellow, but it's definitely tinged with green, and will just get greener and greener from here on out. No going back!

I can tell you that I had a very perceptible shift of energy at that time. It took a few months for me to process what had happened, but I definitely stepped into a different level of consciousness at the end of 2012.

This graphic is an excellent representation of how I see the situation! I never thought about visualizing it like that. Normally, I would describe it as similar to the transition between night and day. There is a point where it is clearly day and a point where it is clearly night, but there's not a distinct boundary between the two.

As Q'uo described the situation of Harvest, the 2012 Winter solstice was when the last tiny bit of 3D energy would be incoming from the cosmos. Similar to the very last evidence of daylight disappeared and it was clearly nighttime.

At the time of the Ra contact, Ra indicated that we were essentially already fully within 4th density time/space, so it was probably already very much "nighttime" at that point, but still some shreds of daylight. I personally didn't feel a shift when crossing the 2012 thresh hold, but I don't doubt it. It seems possible that it could have been a distinct metaphysical shift based on the mechanics of the universe or even a shift brought about by the expectations of change. When something grabs the attention of so many people, I have no doubt that the attention has effects which ripple into the planetary mind.

Interpretation is from the following Ra quote:

32.12 ↥ Questioner: Can you give me an idea how the different colors… This is a difficult question to ask. I hardly have any words. What I’m trying to get at is how the different colors I might say originate as these functions or the essence, you might say, of the origin of these colors as functions for these different expressions in consciousness. I don’t know if this question is sufficient.

Ra: I am Ra. This question is sufficiently clear for us to attempt explanation of what, as you have observed, is not easily grasped material for the intellectual mind. The nature of vibration is such that it may be seen as having mathematically strait or narrow steps. These steps may be seen as having boundaries. Within each boundary there are infinite gradations of vibration or color. However, as one approaches a boundary, an effort must be made to cross that boundary. These colors are a simplistic way of expressing the boundary divisions of your density. There is also the time/space analogy which may be seen as the color itself in a modified aspect.
