“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

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.

(Strangely enough, she had two good images while giving the inaccurate data, she said—one image for each set of data. The first concerned a card shape, rectangular, with balancing designs on each end of it while held horizontally. See page 255. The second image was of the target shape also mentioned on page 255.
