“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All in all the intellect plays some part, but the intuitional qualities are the most important. There are chemical changes that occur with the physical body when projections occur. There are also electromagnetic variations. These vary according to the form in which the projection occurs.

Perhaps this diffused quality is the most important difference between such an apparition and a physical form. There is an atomic structure. In some ways however the structure is less complete than a physical form. There is always a minute difference in the physical body’s normal weight when the individual is projecting. The excess chemicals built up during the waking condition are used to help form the projecting images. There is a slight loss of electromagnetic potency and chemical potency when the individual is projecting.

The chemical properties of the body are the result of certain electromagnetic changes. Chemicals are therefore byproducts of electromagnetic realities. The electromagnetic properties, again, belong to the psychic, not the physical structure.

In physical existence a certain portion of the inner self’s electromagnetic properties are used by the physical structure of the body. Subtle changes occur in the body when the inner self projects. This projection is not dependent upon physical life—that is, the survival of the human personality also is then not dependent upon physical survival, nor need it be supported by physical life. The electromagnetic properties simply revert to their original source with the inner self, and are no longer utilized in the construction of a corporeal image.

You are exploring the inner contents of a moment, delving into its experience. Now this is what the ego does you see within a lifetime, only to a greater degree. In projections, and in your dreams, your perceptions to some extent enable you to leap out of the ego’s time limitations. The physical body is indeed the ego’s vehicle. You do not need it, you see, for projections.
