I have no spiritual insight into this, just trying to figure it out from this side of the Veil.
There are several threads devoted to exploring and debating that question, with strong opinions on both sides of the 'gradual vs sudden shift' debate.
Your statement brings up another question: We often use the terms Harvest and walking the steps of Light synonymously, but are they really? Doesn't each entity walk the steps of Light, to determine where it will end up after incarnation? But not everyone will be harvested. In this quote, Ra stated that (at the time of the channeling) that the Harvest was small. This implies that only those who graduate are considered 'harvested' although, presumably, those who aren't harvested still walk the steps of Light. This to me indicates that being harvested is a possible result of walking the steps of Light, not the same thing.
If walking the steps of Light = being harvested, then there's no way the Harvest could have been small. Being harvested must mean something other than walking the steps of Light, though that is the means by which it is determined whether or not an entity is harvestable, and perhaps even whether the question of being harvested even applies to that entity.
Quote:13.23 Questioner: How does a third-density planet become a fourth density planet?
Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full question.
The fourth density is, as we have said, as regularized in its approach as the striking of a clock upon the hour. The space/time of your solar system has enabled this planetary sphere to spiral into space/time of a different vibrational configuration. This causes the planetary sphere to be able to be molded by these new distortions. However, the thought-forms of your people during this transition period are such that the mind/body/spirit complexes of both individual and societies are scattered throughout the spectrum instead of becoming able to grasp the needle, shall we say, and point the compass in one direction.
Thus, the entry into the vibration of love, sometimes called by your people the vibration of understanding, is not effective with your present societal complex. Thus, the harvest shall be such that many will repeat the third-density cycle. The energies of your Wanderers, your teachers, and your adepts at this time are all bent upon increasing the harvest. However, there are few to harvest.
Those who repeat, surely walk the steps of Light, to see which density they belong in, right? But they aren't harvested. In my understanding, to be harvested means to graduate from the present density into the next. All walk the steps of Light to determine whether or not they have graduated (if applicable), or must repeat the grade, or maybe even slipped back a grade, or maybe even graduated to a different polarity. But not all who walk the steps of Light are harvested.
