In that lifetime you were a man.” — “In that lifetime you were a woman.”

This is perhaps the most confusing information that can be relayed through a channel, particularly if the recipient feels an innate denial of such information.Deeper insight into the soul or whole spirit (holy spirit) clarifies such statements. The soul or self is one — the one that are. But the poles of that self remain the same, regardless of many incarnations. In other words, the female principle always incarnates as a female; the male principle as a male, with two exceptions covered below.To clarify: The body is a total thing, but it has two hands, a left and a right. Both operate under the direction of the same brain, and the information relayed from the activities of the two hands returns to the one mind for storage or evaluation. You could not cut off the hands and exchange them. Reversal would not only be awkward but difficult to operate.So it is with the two poles of being, with two exceptions:1. When one side or the other (male or female) is found lacking in experience or discipline. It is then that the feminine principle may incarnate in a male body or the male in a female body for experience primarily designed to develop understanding of its own opposite pole.

 The other condition that brings about such a difficult incarnation is the necessity for a service to mankind, which may require the inner knowledge and abilities of one pole but because of world conditions require that the outer garment be of the opposite pole. While this brings many of the problems encountered by the first condition it also usually brings a strong soul nature dedicated to the purpose of such service and forestalls a tendency to relate to a sexual expression. Some form of creative genius is often the outer expression of such a soul.

They are not a product of conditioning or ego choice. They deserve all the help and understanding that can be given, for they are literally a divided house. One pole within a body that is the opposite, with all the social demands and expectations weighed on the outer pole’s appearance.

When the Akashic (soul history) records are read, the experiences each polarity has had is recorded as one. Therefore, a Sensitive tuning in to these records would read both sides of the soul’s book and could therefore confuse the personality, especially if there is a strong aversion to such information as happens in many instances. You cannot tell the left hand that it is the right hand. This would not be truth. You can advise both they are literally one in that they are extensions of one body-mind, and their role should be one of complete cooperation.

Such knowledge would also aid the two exceptions by providing understanding of the reason(s) for their dilemma. Understanding always increases the personality’s ability to cope with a situation and meet the challenge in a constructive way.

A dfferent situation results when a person simply allows the developing inner pole to take over its outer expressiom, resulting in very obvious traits of the inner pole.  This creates the “feminine” man or the “masuline” woman, and defeats the evolutionary purpose of balance.  We are meant to express wholeness, which incorporates using the natural instincts and expression of the inner self, but in a way that coincides with our outer expression in this life.  Man can demonstrate empathy, intuition as a male,  not as a semi-woman.  Woman can demonstrate logic and emotional control as a woman, not as a semi-man.

Both sexes are confused today because the purpose of this phase of development has not been understood and explained. Without clear insight as to the end purpose, we can get lost in the process and seek sexual expression for what is primarily emotional growth. 

There is also a situation where one pole comes into conscious life while the other remains as the unmanifested unconscious. In this case the other pole, if spiritually matured, often acts as a guardian angel, instructing its conscious half through dreams and impressions, since growth of both is the business of the whole spirit, and the developing balance will express wholeness through the primary or outer pole. 

One may even live a life that alleviates or balances karmic debts incurred by the other half, and blame would be useless because whether the left hand or the right hand was responsible, the whole persona suffers the results. 

There is no need to dwell on the individual and mutual karma the sexes have imposed on each other. The evidence is around us every day. And the equality the woman’s movement is striving for on the physical level must also be attained on the mental and spiritual levels.

But it is not a competitive equality. It is a complimentary equality that comes through understanding both expressions of self. The need of the one for the other is the most basic soul quality. There is always an inner longing to be whole again. It is the prime mover of both sexes.
