“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.

The projected form does make some impression upon your physical system. In other words, it is possible for it to be detected. It is a kind of pseudo- image, materialistically speaking, but it has definite electromagnetic reality, and chemical properties.

Now. Animals have indeed sensed such apparitions. There is hardly any magic involved. They react to the chemical properties of the apparition, and build up the image from it—from them, the properties.

These chemical properties however are more diffuse in an apparition than in a physical form. The chemical composition of a storm perhaps will give you an idea of what I mean. They are indeed small disturbances, you see—they form small disturbances within your physical system.

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.
