to be harvestable, must one be generally full of joy??

[Jade]

The harvest concept has caused me quite a bit of distress if I am to be honest, for the very reasons that APW touched upon.  I get scared that I have not been good enough and that because of my lack of goodness and negativity I won't be welcome back home, and will instead have to repeat another cycle.  I know it is silly.  The whole wanderer concept too, while comforting, I think can sometimes make matters worse as we put unrealistic expectation on ourselves.  We are humans.  We are creatures of third density while we are here.  I don't think it is very realistic to expect oneself to be some perfected being who goes around shining love and light 24/7 without ever practicing negativity.  Yeah, this is something I really struggle with. 

That's why you only have to be 51% perfect. Hardly perfect at all.

I like to keep in mind that even Jesus\Yeshua had at least one incident on record where he totally lost his temper.

Yes, and we can all have infinite instances of losing our temper or of "being bad people" (I'm almost certain that almost nobody here has actually perpetrated an extreme act where they infringed on someone's free will - losing one's temper hardly qualifies. The parable of Jesus killing a boy with his temper, yeah, that was a horrible act, but again, that "horrible act" was the impetus to a life completely dedicated to service)

Ra says that in the social realm, we have the freedom to act as we please. This means "free speech" reigns completely and it is of more positive polarity to allow oneself to express their true emotions in the moment than to suppress them - even if it means getting short with someone. Now once your start using your words with the conscious intention to indirectly manipulate someone into behaving in a certain way, this can tend to the negative. This is hard to discuss because it's a fine line between giving someone what you think is good advice that they want to hear and trying to convince someone that your way is better. But, expressing frustration in the moment is hardly a negative act, sorry guys you aren't as naughty as you think.

As far as "does one have to feel joyful to be harvestable"? I think the answer is no. Again, because the threshold is actually so small - that 1% - anyway, I think of extreme joy being more of an indigo ray emotion than a green ray emotion. The green ray is martyrdom. Is being a martyr typically associated with joyfulness..? I don't think so. I think it's more about the constant compassion/commiseration with the entities that are still trapped in the maelstrom, and the frustration with the self that we are unable in our current configurations - our clunky human bodies - to do much about it on this plane.
