“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You can travel anywhere within your solar system however with it. In the first form it is possible to perceive the past, present and future on a limited basis. In the second form this perception is on a larger scale, the scope of consciousness being further opened. Now this is the form that you will use if you meet appointments with others within the dream state.

The form that you use does not dictate the various abilities. You don the particular form in line with your abilities. You do the best you can, in other words. (Smile.) It is possible to begin an experience in one form, and change to another, or to go from the first to the third. On such occasions you must therefore, you see, pass through in reverse direction. The forms do merely represent various stages of consciousness.

At physical death, after the last reincarnation, then the normal body form is the dream body, and excursions are made from this point, you see. It is possible to suddenly switch from the third form to the dream body, but at a considerable jolt to the consciousness, as a rule. Transition is simply too sudden.

Instead he has to form the imaginary image of a window, which is in itself some feat, and then project himself through this. It is quite all right. I merely wanted to point out what he did. When you project from the dream body, you see, consciously you are already outside, as a rule. You have already made the initial change away from physical focus.

Now. Some of Fox’s suggestions are excellent. They will allow you to take the waking consciousness along with you. As your abilities develop and as you become more accustomed to the experience, the waking consciousness will recall more and more, and not become frightened. When it becomes frightened you see it forces the whole experience to end. If it were not taken along the same experience might have continued, and greater benefits been achieved for the whole self.

But the training here is vastly important, and a manipulation of consciousness in this way has definite advantages. It will take some work on your part, but you will indeed by able, perhaps with some use of suggestion, to realize, when in the dream state, those occasions when you are projecting.

Then you can prolong the experience, and recognize it as a valid out-of-body excursion. The mobility of consciousness will automatically allow you greater freedom in using your inner perceptions in waking life also. For this is a motion of consciousness, a motion that has little to do with the motion of the physical body.

However there is a chemical energy used in all such out-of-body experiences. The chemical reaction results in an electromagnetic connection between the consciousness and the physical body, and without it there would be no return to the physical body, in your terms. Of course it is mental energy that makes the chemical energy possible, however. This freedom of consciousness is not dependent upon physical existence, you see.

During your present life however the connection must be maintained. I will give you a break before our Instream material. I do want to mention however that all consciousness within your system has the same sort of freedom within certain degrees.

(Break at 10:29. Jane was far out, she said. She wasn’t conscious of anything but the experiment, and her eyes remained closed through all of it. She had a few images during the experiment and these will be mentioned in place in the data.
