“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

I am obviously not suggesting a whole diet composed of eggs and asparagus. These plus fish oils are beneficial however, but not when taken with acid foods. Periods of especially intense psychic and mental activity can help you achieve projections. Periods of very little, unusually sparse, mental and psychic periods are often apt to result in projections—also however for the same reasons given concerning sexual activity.
