“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Three lives ago, Mark was contained in a remarkably cruel and violent nature. He is now extremely kind to make up for past cruelties. In the immediately previous life he was a woman, living in your own west, midwest.

He was erratic. You might say that Mark was too erratic to be erotic. He at that time was fairly wealthy, and gave away much money in a subconscious attempt to make up for the aggressive and cruel male existence just previous. The choice in the past life of a woman’s personality represented a somewhat understandable weakness on his part, and yet it also represented bravery in a sense.

The impulsive and warm quality began with that midwest existence as a woman. Through the erratic nature of the woman’s personality he was actually able to be much kinder. A male’s personality at that point would have held too many temptations as far as overaggressiveness and cruelty were concerned.

There is also another member of this particular family who is presently a woman, and there is also another member who is presently a man. Neither of these two were intimately connected with Mark’s family for the past two lives, and represent the only exception.

Sometimes you read me correctly. Mark was one of your children in the existence of which I have spoken. One of Mark’s present brothers was a son of Mark’s when he was a woman in Iowa.

The painting has its conception in intuition which you achieved during your past life as a woman. However, discipline now becomes a necessity. The intuitions and the impulse behind your creativity must be disciplined, if the creativity is to come to fruition.

Art of any kind is extremely important as a way of paying off debts, that is psychological debts. When you were a woman, Mark, and wealthy, you gave away money. Now like Joseph and Ruburt, you give away parts of yourself, fragments of yourself, made more or less into living psychological forms that according to your ability are free from not only time, but free from many of the defects of your own present personality.

For example, having as a mother a woman who has once been your wife is rather bewildering, and certainly can lead to all sorts of psychological uneasiness. Nevertheless my sense of humor to the contrary, Mark is coming along extremely well. The earlier errors are being somewhat over-compensated for, but he will be the gainer in this respect.
