Taking the Long Way Back

Really? I thought this planet had roughly 300 years to before the harvest cycle ends and people who didn't graduate have to f*** off to another planet for further seeking?

Where do you get this 1,000+ years figure from?

That depends on where you get that information. If you get it from the Ra material. Then here it is.

40.8 Questioner: Then what will be the time of transition on this planet from third to fourth density?

Ra: I am Ra. This is difficult to estimate due to the uncharacteristic anomalies of this transition. There are at this space/time nexus beings incarnate which have begun fourth-density work. However, the third-density climate of planetary consciousness is retarding the process. At this particular nexus the possibility/probability vortices indicate somewhere between 100 and 700 of your years as transition period. This cannot be accurate due to the volatility of your peoples at this space/time.

Ra mentions they cannot give an accurate timeframe, so they give a min and max according to how it looked in the '80s. I think we are getting closer to that stated minimum now, maybe even a bit less.
