Wow... Even though I already /liked the various posts appropriately, I would like to thank both TN and Namaste for their dialog specifically. I have found several things about harvest and whats most likely coming in the next year rather confusing, and your dialog with each other and understanding the abrupt vs gradual argument. This analogy is all I need... It reads as plain english to me.
This immediately gives rise to more questions though, as well as thoughts of the movie "Children of Men"(2006).

I watched this movie before I awoke because I came on TV late night on HBO or something. It, frankly, confused the hell out of me at the time. I didn't understand what would motivate someone to come up with this concept of children no longer being able to be born. (at the time) I thought, why would they fund this movie (millions of dollars) that is based on this bizarre concept. Now the above quote makes me thinks that all people may become sterile a/o infertile after... when? I don't want to venture a guess (when this would start happening) without investigating this thought further.
Quote:When the crop is ripe, the reaper comes among it. We understand the gist of your question. It is difficult for you to perceive that the mechanisms of a cosmic or celestial nature may be on a scale which is difficult for you to imagine. But it is truly said in your holy works that to the Creator, a thousand years is but an evening. It is through the natural cycle of physical birth and death that most will enter their new (inaudible). It does not take a great many years for all of those on the planet to end their Earthly existence. It will not happen all at once, any more than any natural process happens all at once. It is simply that as you see the leaves upon the trees of your planet falling, although they do not fall all at the same time, there is a period when they are all on the tree, and there is a period when your trees are bare, and the leaves have gone on to the next cycle.
