“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

I suggest a more thorough examination of your dreams here, for many of them contain such spontaneous projections. They are most apt to occur in the early hours, between 3 and 5 A.M. The body temperature drops at such times. Five in the afternoon is also beneficial from this standpoint. The drinking of pure water also facilitates projection, although for obvious reasons the bladder must be empty.

The color of a room is important. Your room, the bedroom, is a good color for this purpose. Cool colors are best. Too-warm colors are detrimental, being too closely allied with earthly aspects. For various reasons in your particular climate, May, October, February, March, are best. August can be beneficial according to the weather. Also September, April at times. Too-warm weather is detrimental.

Now this has to do with the electrical currents about the skin, and sweat on the body. Also with saline composition of the body at various times of the year.

(Break at 10:29. Jane now came out of her trance for the first time since 9 PM. As far as we know this is by far the longest trance she has undergone. Nor was her emergence from it easy; she seemed to grope her way out of it slowly, eyes blinking with effort many times before they finally opened clearly.

(She was, she said, “way-out,” very well dissociated indeed. She had little recollection of her surroundings while speaking, and was quite surprised to learn her eyes had been wide open much of the time. She recalled a couple of cigarettes and a sip or two of wine, but these actions were “removed” from her.

(She knew, she said, at once that the voice was strong and loud. From the moment the session began she was “within the voice,” as though wrapped in a cocoon. The voice swept her along as it has on a few occasions in the past. Nor did she know she would be kept in trance during breaks to rest my writing hand. She thought Seth did this to keep the session short, yet get lots of material through. She felt a sense of strangeness at break time because she didn’t leave trance, but was not worried, nor did she try to get out of trance. Jane said she now felt quite tired.

Circumstances were good this evening, and I decided to take advantage of them. If you did not have to rise so early in the morning I would continue. However we do have all the time in the world, indeed.

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.

(End at 10:45. Jane was again just as well dissociated as before, although this time her eyes remained closed. Seth, she said, could have continued all night, without strain, but he did not push her to do so. She just knew he could.
