“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As far as my mention of May 23rd in connection with Miss Callahan, this was not a distortion; and the crisis, which was a psychio-physical crisis, came as I said that it would.

The second mention of the 23rd date was not a distortion. I tried to tie it in by mentioning that the date had already been given in connection with Miss Callahan. There was no distortion here again. What came through was correct, but my charming Ruburt merely blocked the rest.

This is not nearly as troublesome basically as a distortion, though at times such blocking may leave you up in the air. The date did indeed refer to our young friend, who was taken ill that very evening. It would have done no good had the full data come through. If you had known what was to have happened, you could not have prevented it in any case.

Distortions are now occurring less and less. A careful rereading of material will in such cases usually clear up such misunderstandings, as you will see when you reread the actual wording of the passage referred to.

(Break at 9:29. Jane was pretty well dissociated for a first delivery. Earlier today, rereading the 54th session, page 90, she had made the intuitive connection that Seth’s referral to the day May 23 twice did indeed refer to two separate events. At her suggestion I also reread the material; while agreeing that such an interpretation was possible, on my own I made no such connection, and thought that drawing such conclusions from the written word was stretching things a bit. I did believe that there was an explanation possible other than distortion however.

(Jane and I were pleased at Seth’s statement that no distortion did occur, but only a partial blocking. Jane is still very cautious where personal material is concerned. We feel that we can do little to speed up this process of eliminating distortions, as they occur. We have had no trouble that I am aware of in clearing up any distortions we ask Seth about after the event.

(Talking about distortions during last break, I had been reminded that many sessions ago Jane-Seth had stated first that [my brother] Loren had been three times a woman, then three times a man in a following session. I had never asked Seth to clear up the contradiction.)

The misunderstanding seemed to amount to a distortion, but was not to this effect. Oftentimes when a person is reincarnated continually as one sex, the overall impression of the personality seems to be of the opposite sex. Ruburt picked up the feeling of femaleness very strongly here.

There is also much here to be explained, since your conception of male and female is greatly distorted. The terms are of course reflections, in your plane, of other basic inner laws of the universe which we have yet to discuss. They have actually very little to do with what you consider male and female, and for now we can mention them briefly in terms of arrival and departure.
