This has been a marathon Unity, I have to take a break. I'm going to chew what you've supplied and sometime in the next few days I'll continue this discussion.
To get slightly personal, there are underlying reasons why I believe in a gradual transition, and I'll explain a little about it. I see danger within a belief system which promotes a day of salvation; some specific point in the future where the world will change on its own and we are left with only positive things to work with. I find it to be in line with the return of Jesus that fundamentalist Christians hide behind as an excuse to rape our Earth of natural resources, etc. If we believe in a day will come where all of the negative people will disappear, all of the systems which don't work will automatically fail, and we're given only positive things to work with, it gives us very little reason to strive for a better tomorrow.
We may prepare for that day and "strive for polarization," but there are some very negative systems rooted on our planet which will need changed if we are not to destroy ourselves and if we ever want to reach a point where the planet is unified in peace. I have hope that, as time goes on, the world will be full of more and more enlightened people who can see the fault in our systems, but I cannot take that faith a step further without entering a dangerous place. I will strive for the rest of my life to change the systems on this planet which cause suffering, which harm our mother Earth, and which keep people trapped in suffering or a deep sleep of unawareness.
I hope that in my striving for objectivity, I can put this personal belief down and analyze the words of Ra loyally and without influence, no matter how transient or prophetic. I feel it is an important exercise, and I feel like the Ra material is the perfect tool to use this exercise. Of course, complete objectivity is impossible, and I can't say that my personal beliefs don't push me to continue this discussion.
"In a world where everything is, in a clichéd way, relative, you can easily and comfortably accept the proposition that your experience is subjective. You may strive all your life to achieve objectivity, but you see, my friends, you are there. You are a witness, and that which you observe is observed according to your perceptions. The truth lies beyond perception."
I have been trying to avoid using the Q'uo channelings out of respect for unity and his expressed views on them.

Ra: I am Ra. This is an approximation. We have stated we have difficulty with your time/space. This is an appropriate probable/possible time/space nexus for harvest. Those who are not in incarnation at this time will be included in the harvest.
It seems difficult to reconcile this with the Q'uo channelings.
