Quite interesting - Mayan day/nights and earth periods

[Tenet Nosce]

When personal bias (hope or fear based) - not one's unique 'distortion' - fills in the gaps in understanding, or when desires greatly overextend what is known with what one would like to see.

We appear to have two camps, each perceiving the other to be defending their view out of wishful thinking. For my part, I am not hoping or fearing that things turn out a certain way. I am just offering what I believe to be an accurate interpretation of the material.

To be sure, there are certain assumptions I am making. One assumption is that, when Ra chooses a particular word or phrase, that this is done for a reason. Ra knew what they were trying to say. Furthermore, Ra knew that they were speaking to 3D minds, and also knew that the material was to be published.

So if Ra on two occasions, chose to give the image of the "clock striking upon the hour", they obviously wanted to communicate a certain discreteness to the event. It doesn't make sense to say that, for a being like Ra, maybe the clock striking is like a thousand years... That is all mumbo-jumbo because Ra ALREADY KNOWS this. Ra knows all about the differences in the perception of time between their state of consciousness and ours. So if Ra wanted to convey that the harvest was an ongoing event which took place over a period of a thousand years, they would have said as such.

This is what I see happening a lot:

Person A: Hi, I am curious to know what Ra says about bananas.
Person B: Here are some quotes from Ra about bananas.
Person C: Maybe when Ra was talking about bananas, they really meant apples.
Person B: No, I don't think so. Based upon what Ra said, your view is incorrect.
Person C: Well, if I think Ra was talking about apples, then that is "my truth" therefore it is "my reality".
Person D: I love apples!
Person A: WTF?

Death, however and whenever it comes, tends to be disruptive to one's "plans" for life. End of story.

May I contradict you there? "life is what happens while you are busy making other plans" John Lennon

Yes, you may. But I think we are saying the same thing??

Denial about mass death and destruction?

Yes. There are many people who just simply don't "believe in" the possibility of a global cataclysm. This is different in knowing that it is possible, and investing one's energy in an alternative possibility.

Who denies this? It happens.

Lots of people, all the time.

You mean that I don't see it happening to me?

No, I wasn't referring specifically you. I was talking about "people" in general. The masses. Of which I don't think you are a particularly accurate representation. Or really anybody on this forum, for that matter.

Also, for the record, a sudden transition does not necessarily imply some sort of cataclysm. That being said, people seem to be in a huge state of denial about mass death and destruction. As if it only happens to other people, in other times. Death, however and whenever it comes, tends to be disruptive to one's "plans" for life. End of story.

If you have such 'plans', you are not living in the present. End of story.

Exactly.

Yes, I think so too. Why did this have to happen if the universe is a loving place, as most of us would generally like to understand 'love' --

I think this is because the manner in which most of us understand 'love' is not based in truth. We believe that the degree another person's DNA is similar to our own determines how much we should love them.
