The Hunger Games

Values remain the same and, if they involve power structures, will find an outlet (and a potentially more dangerous one with physical power sources readily on tap). Distortions are not suddenly removed through some manufacturing process or a new tool.

Quite true and yet, according to Ra, that was basically the point of the industrial revolution. Even though manufacturing processes don't remove distortions, the "freeing of all planetary entities from the darkness" and tapping "the infinite energy of the planetary sphere for use in lighting and power" would certainly provide the opportunity for individuals to form significantly different mental maps than their current ones.

The idea is to provide more leisure time, and possibly remove concerns related to survival (if there was not more war as a result). My point is that could obviously happen at any point in 3D (and has with prior 3D civilizations) and is not necessarily something that starts a transition to 4D. What's funny is that if 4D is immanent, then of course anything related to change can be interpreted as a sign of a transition to 4D (and we currently see this with people, naturally, labeling everything as a sign).

What would be a sign is a change in general social philosophy that underlies all catalyst. Of course we already suspect this, so evidence of that too is sought out in the distraction of merely reinforcing a feeling of a new paradigm. That's is kind of an impotent, regressive approach to actually participating in the change, like looking for shapes in clouds. Or rather, attempting to substitute a completely transitory notion of 4D for 4D itself (or the idea of Buddha nature for the Buddha nature).
