“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Its composition is not easy to explain in your terms. At your end there are strong chemical and electromagnetic connections that you do not understand. These in large measure help form the physically oriented ego, or at least form its characteristic manner.

Without these chemical and electromagnetic connections, (voice louder) the ego as such would not exist. The ego is largely dependent upon the physical mechanisms that compose the corporal image. It has its beginnings with corporal birth. While we speak of the ego, this part of the self is hardly permanent or constant, but ever-changing. However the intellect is also a portion, or an attribute, of the ego.

Now where the ego operates you will always find chemical repercussions; to some extent or another then the physical body will be involved. Deeper or less familiar portions of the self exist without a chemical manifestation. These usually take electromagnetic forms to some degree however.

Now certain chemical changes must come about in the physical organism before projection can occur. Were it not for these you would still be imprisoned within the corporeal image. You know that dreaming has definite chemical bases, that chemicals built up during periods of waking existence are released through dreams. Not only are they released but they form a propelling action that allows energy to flow in the opposite direction. As chemical reactions allow the body to utilize energy and form physical materializations, so the excess built up then becomes a propelling force, allowing action to flow in what you would term subjective directions.

Now this same chemical reaction must also occur, only more strongly, before a legitimate projection of the self from the physical organism can occur. This is one of the main reasons why such projections happen rarely. Usually, and without training, the chemical excess is used in the dreaming process. In periods of exuberant energy and well-being a more than normal amount of excess accumulates. This can trigger a projection.

Also in periods of momentary indisposition however, the dreaming process may be blocked and the chemical excess accumulated. Again, a good time to try projections.

These chemical excesses are a natural byproduct of consciousness that is bound up in physical materialization. The more intense the characteristic experience of reality, the greater the chemical excess that is built up. Consciousness itself, when physically oriented, burns up chemicals. The more intense the individual the hotter the fire, so to speak, and the greater the chemical excesses that must be released.

Released they must be, or the organism would not survive. Periods of intense activity may also then generate this additional chemical propellant. Now. Although this necessary chemical fuel is generated through intense activity of a mental or psychic nature, it is released, making projections possible in alternating periods of quietude and rest.

There must be a disciplined focus of this propellant therefore, if projection is to be achieved. Now. Periods of heightened sexual activity of a strong and deep nature will help. However, periods of no sexual activity will also help. On the one hand the chemical excess is built up as a result of overintensity. On the other hand, and in the latter case, it is built up because psychic and sexual release has not been granted. Eggs and asparagus are helpful.

An almost automatic determination must be set up however if projections with conscious awareness are to be anything but rare oddities. With you both the problem is somewhat different than it might be with others. These chemical excesses are used up for one thing in your own creative work. You do this now automatically.

It goes without saying that your work will gain immeasurably through the extended experience of projections. The yoga exercises allow you, when they are faithfully executed, to draw an abundance, indeed a superabundance, of energy. This energy results also in chemical excesses that can be utilized in projections without drawing away energy for your work.

Now. There are definite chemical changes during projections. There are also electromagnetic changes that can be perceived with instruments. Certain electrical fields will also make themselves known under these conditions. The fields have always existed but they will only become apparent to physical instruments when they are being crossed. In other words, at the very act of projection.
