Time/Space: A mistake or not in 70.6/7 ?

[ricdaw]

This part of the material always gave me a headache.

I, too, do not think the text should be edited to reverse t/s and s/t.

In 69.11' Ra knows ( but Don doesn't, yet) that it is impossible for even the Higher Self to "extract" Carla from the "preincarnative" launch area of negative time/space. Once you have passed those security gates, there's no going back. You can stay in the gate waiting area for as long as you want, but there is only one exit from the "preincarnative" launch area, and it is a most unpleasant negative 3D planet. So Ra did correctly say space/time here.

In 70.6, Don did make an erroneous assumption that Ra's answer in 69.11 was about the Higher Self's reluctance to go into negative time/space to rescue the displaced sub-entity/Carla. (That wasn't actually the reason.). Yet Don literally asked only about the Higher Self's personal reluctance to go into negative time/space. He asked this twice, in 70.6 and 70.7. Ra answered, essentially, because it is a dark and sucky place to visit.

Note that Ra is not linking 70.6 and 70.7 with the "displaced" entity concern of 69.11 because, after Don started question 70.6 with "the path back" hook to the displaced Carla problem-issue, when Don finally got around to actually asking the question, he straight up asked only about the HS going into negative time/space. If only he'd asked, "why doesn't the Higher Self go rescue to sub-entity Carla?" Ra answered by describing the unpleasantness off all negative time/space. It was not a particularized answer as to why the Higher Self would not go to the special "preincarnative" launch area of negative time/space where Carla would have been kidnapped to.

We finally get the actual answer in 70.14. Once the sub-entity/Carla enters the special "preincarnative" launch area, the incarnation must take place. But implicit in the answer is also the fact that if the Higher Self actually went there to rescue the subentity/Carla the Higher Self too would be trapped and forced into at least one incarnation into negative space/time. Essentially, the Higher Self becomes a Wanderer too, just like the sub-entity/Carla. That means at least one lifetime trapped in Negative space//time, or possibly the whole 25,000 year cycle.

So, a rescue mission only gets both entities incarnating again (metaphysical property of the preincarnative launch area). The only practical answer is for the subentity/Carla to sit at the gate forever, or for the subentity/Carla to go through incarnation.

I hope they do not make edits to this text. It makes sense as written.
