My metaphor was used as an explanation to make sense of the controversies over gradual vs. sudden interpretations. So in 2011 or around there, the harvest occurs and continues, while the 3d body continues to go on until death or possibly wariness from 4d becoming stronger. After this death they are harvested.
I typically side with unity and zen on the idea that death is necessary. But now (with my handy tarot deck), I might be able to see that time/space can be entered metaphorically, especially since death is in every incarnated moment.
Icaro knows
But yeah, I believe debating gradual vs. sudden misses the point of harvest entirely. The harvest occurring over a period of time as it relates to our experience of time here in space/time, is perfectly reasonable to understand if you grasp the concept of the present moment. Going back and forth trying to analyze what Ra meant is irrelevant when you consider other metaphysical concepts that were given.
