Being in service to others

[Questioner]

As I read the Ra books, my understanding is that harvest is not a measurement or judgment applied to us from outside. Instead, it is our own response to the catalyst of a world changing from one vibration pattern to another.

I hope that I won't be out of line with a post that is rather long because I pulled in several key passages from Ra.

(italics added by me)

Book 1, Session 6

Q.I think that it would be appropriate to discover how the Law of One acts in this transfer of beings to our planet and the action of harvest?

Ra: I am Ra. The Law of One states simply that all things are one, that all beings are one. There are certain behaviors and thought-forms consonant with the understanding and practice of this law. Those who, finishing a cycle of experience, demonstrate grades of distortion of that understanding of thought and action will be separated by their own choice into the vibratory distortion most comfortable to their mind/body/spirit complexes.

This process is guarded or watched by those nurturing beings who, being very close to the Law of One in their distortions, nevertheless, move towards active service.

Thus, the illusion is created of light, or more properly but less understandably, light/love. This is in varying degrees of intensity. The spirit complex of each harvested entity moves along the line of light until the light grows too glaring, at which time the entity stops

Book II, Session 47
(question about the percentage criteria for positive 4D harvest)

Ra: .... Each is capable of doing fourth-density work. This is the criterion for harvest.

*****

I take this to mean that when the world has more light, entities move forward to that light on their own initiative. They continue moving forward, until going further forward would be uncomfortable with their current level of development.

I picture that it is like choosing our own seat in a classroom. Some people are eager to sit in the front row, participate fully and take notes. Some people want to rest in the back and maybe nap through some lectures, or chat with their friends more than pay attention to the lessons. If the lecture is already in progress when we enter, each person will sit where comfortable. Someone not interested in the subject at all at this time would not go through the open door into the classroom.

Book II, Session 48
(question about human lifetime leading to harvest)

Ra: I am Ra. Your query is most distorted for it assumes that creations are alike. Each mind/body/spirit complex has its own patterns of activation and its own rhythms of awakening. The important thing for harvest is the harmonious balance between the various energy centers of the mind/body/spirit complex. This is to be noted as of relative import. ....

The patterns of activation of an entity of high seniority will undoubtedly move with some rapidity to the green-ray level which is the springboard to primary blue. There is always some difficulty in penetrating blue primary energy for it requires that which your people have in great paucity; that is, honesty. Blue ray is the ray of free communication with self and with otherself.

Having accepted that an harvestable or nearly harvestable entity will be working from this green-ray springboard one may then posit that the experiences in the remainder of the incarnation will be focused upon activation of the primary blue-ray of freely given communication, of indigo ray, that of freely shared intelligent energy, and if possible, moving through this gateway, the penetration of violet-ray intelligent infinity. This may be seen to be manifested by a sense of the consecrate or hallowed nature of everyday creations and activities.

*****

We see from the above excerpt that "talk and listen from the heart" and "make every moment a sacred one" are themes that lead to positive harvestability. However, all of this needs to be in the context of a balanced self.

Book III, Session 51
(question about the harvesters)
(Ra indicates three types of harvesters)

Ra: .... The second class of those who ward this process are those of the Confederation who have the honor/duty of standing in the small places at the edge of the steps of light/love so that those entities being harvested will not, no matter how confused or unable to make contact with their higher self, stumble and fall away for any reason other than the strength of the light. These Confederation entities catch those who stumble and set them
aright so that they may continue into the light. ....
Thus the harvest is automatic in that those harvested will respond according to that which is unchangeable during harvest. That is the violet ray emanation. However, these helpers are around to ensure a proper harvesting so that each entity may have the fullest opportunity to express its violet ray selfhood.

*****

Book IV, Session 82
(question about the 50% service to others threshold)

Ra: .... The necessity for graduation to fourth density is an ability to use, welcome, and enjoy a certain intensity of the white light of the one infinite Creator. In your own terms at your space/time nexus this ability may be measured by your previously stated percentages of service.

*****

And as described in the previous excerpt, this "certain intensity" is an openness to the "violet ray." Apparently, in 4D entities are provided with an increased amount of violet ray catalyst. Entities that are not comfortable receiving this catalyst would not put themselves into the situation of choosing to receive what they are uncomfortable or unable to presently receive. Just as with the classroom, if what we heard through the open door was "over our head" or not interesting to us, we would have no reason to walk in and choose a seat.
