“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As you realize, you can use the critical faculties. But you see when you do so you realize that you are not in your normal waking condition. In awake-seeming dreams you are indeed awake, within of course a different psychological framework. Indeed, within a different framework of reality.

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.

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.

As a rule they are not solid in the same way that clouds are not solid, and yet they have shape, and to a certain extent boundaries, and of course movement. They definitely have a reality, you see, though you cannot usually perceive it with the physical senses.

Electromagnetic reality belongs to the inner self. It is not a property that belongs to physical matter, although it does appear in physical terms. (Pause.) The second and third projection forms have electromagnetic realities. (Pause.) We are going slow here to get this material through clearly.

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.

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.
