“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As the session began Jane’s voice was at once loud and quite a bit deeper than usual. This wasn’t her really strong voice by any means, yet it echoed from the living room walls; this effect I believe was accentuated because we had taken the rug up from the floor for the summer. But the voice was a good one, the best in many sessions. The windows were open and it easily rose above traffic sounds, etc.

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.

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.

Energy is most easily utilized in this position, for one thing, and this cuts unnecessary restrictions to a minimum. There is a vast difference between ordinary dreams and projections, whether or not the projections occur from the dream threshold. Dreams are constructed and sent upon their way. As you know, they maintain an independence within their own dimension.

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.

Until you learn this you learn little, and until you learn this you do not know what it means to be practical. If you did not think projection was possible for you, you would never achieve a projection. You create your reality, and no one else can create it for you.

(“All right, we’ll take one now.”

These projections take a strong propelling force, for you are literally traveling from one dimension or reality to another. And yet you will retain awareness. All of this evening I have been speaking of projections in which awareness is retained, and not of more frequent projections which are usually forgotten.

One small point, however. You project also while you are in the waking state, but you do not realize this. Training can help you however, though this involves more work, and you will not reach that stage of realization for some time.
