Abrupt vs gradual harvest

I don't see why it can't be both ways. Like anagogy wrote, the 100-700 year time period is tied to planetary progress, while we as individuals will play out our own incarnations within that timespan.

Remember that the planet (as logos) is the entity that maintains the patterns of "mind" that we make use of in order to progress. Progress is only made with that aid you see. The more polarization progress the collective makes, the shorter the time period.
