“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These body forms however are necessary camouflages, for you cannot yet think of identity without some kind of physical body. Therefore you project yourself in a body form. It varies according to your own abilities, and without it you would feel lost indeed. The form itself is not important, but the form can tell you something about the dimension in which you are having experience.

Now I realize that Ruburt is not too happy with me for bringing up this next point. Intellectually he is highly critical of it. On another level however he knows very well that it is legitimate. There are indeed others who can help you in such experiences, and who often do while you are in the dream state, whether or not you know it. They can be of great assistance as guides.

The mass of valid projections are indeed made from the dreaming body. When the excursion is over the return to the dream body is made with no strain, you see, for the ego is little concerned. In most such instances however the knowledge is then not available to the waking self at all.

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.

We will indeed close our session, and in our next session I will continue with this evening’s discussion.
