Pivotal points which were unfortunately talked about so vaguely and with such ambiguity which, if nothing "noticeable" happens in 50 years, we could still interpret the Ra material as accurate and keep on hoping for some grand event.
Yes, there is a vagueness to Ra's predictions and explanations; I always refer back to the grocery store analogy Ra gave when speaking of probabilities/possibilities. However, i'm actually quite taken aback by the amount of people who are flat out denying the validity of the harvest itself. Now, many of us here will squeal and squirm and say we're not denying anything, but if we're sitting here 5 years from now without any major changes in the world it will be hard to take this stuff very seriously anymore. Point blank. The Law of One suddenly becomes a 'couple books with some cool concepts' and nothing more. I think people are avoiding this.
For myself, I would understand where zen is coming from if the world was calm and moderate; it's not. Extremes of all sorts are coming to the surface, from natural disasters to global economic health. Plutocracy is destroying the first-world economies, and the corruption in business and politics is now blatantly obvious. The world is blowing up; you cannot deny this. The question is going to be: do we recover from this, and are we better off because of it? In this way, I am hopeful that we see the dawn of a new age and the 'death' of our confused minds.
If Ra spoke in nothing but allegories like zenmaster concludes, then I am quite unsure of the future. The world needs not to preserve itself at this junction, but instead transform itself to serve many instead of few. Without a big push, we will not get there. Let's hope the harvest is that big push.
