So what exactly is the Harvest?

[Bring4th_Austin]

Like Parsons hinted, the answers to these questions are hotly debated on these forums. You'll find a ton of great reading material within this particular subforum as opinions and personalities clash in this debate.

Here's my personal distillation from the Ra material.

"Is it like the Rapture where our physical bodies disappear?"
Ra states multiple times that death is necessary for an individual to be harvested. The term is phrased by Don as "the process which we refer to as death," so I assume that if the process were different from the death we understand now, Ra would have corrected Don. Adding to this, Ra says we will go through the normal "post-death healing process" just like we do after any death before we are "harvested." Essentially, you will shed your current body through death (by whatever cause) and will be harvested "between incarnations."

Also according to Ra, the new 4th density body you inhabit will be the result of gradual reproductive evolution of body from 3rd density to 4th density, with harvested entities inhabiting the "transitional bodies" until the evolution is complete.

"Where do we go?"
4th density positive entities will stay with the Earth, 4th density negative entities will go to a 4th density negative planet, and the entities who did not graduate to 4th density will go to a 3rd density planet to continue 3rd density lessons.

"What exactly is 4th density?"
Ra said that 4th density cannot be described with words. They go on to do the best they can:

We can only explain what is not and approximate what is. Beyond fourth density our ability grows more limited still until we become without words.

That which fourth density is not: it is not of words, unless chosen. It is not of heavy chemical vehicles for body complex activities. It is not of disharmony within self. It is not of disharmony within peoples. It is not within limits of possibility to cause disharmony in any way.

Approximations of positive statements: it is a plane of a type of bipedal vehicle which is much denser and more full of life; it is a plane wherein one is aware of the thoughts of other-selves; it is a plane where one is aware of vibrations of other-selves; it is a plane of compassion and understanding of the sorrows of third density; it is a plane striving towards wisdom or light; it is a plane wherein individual differences are pronounced although automatically harmonized by group consensus.
