“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I intend to give you some more material this evening on projections. However I wanted to make these and a few other personal comments. Are your fingers tired?

Projections actually involve a change of atomic structure.

Consciousness simply changes its form. The physical body is maintained, yet certain chemical changes occur in it also. Initially when projection is first accomplished, there is a strong charge of adrenaline. There is high activity of the thyroid gland. There is a charge of sexual hormones, which are utilized also for projection.

After projection is accomplished however there is a marked decline of chemical activity and hormone action, a drop in temperature, sometimes very low, and a drop in blood pressure. There are changes also in the eye mechanisms. The rapid eyes movements noted in the dream state by investigators, cease entirely.

The eyes muscles are not used, the normal muscular activity that usually occurs in sleep vanishes. The physical body is in a deep trance state. The trance may be masked also by sleep, if the projection occurs from a dream state. According to the intensity of the projection and according to the systems visited, the physical body becomes more or less rigid when consciousness returns to it.

Before conscious projection I would therefore recommend you take a small amount of starchy or sugar food. This molecular structure thins out, so to speak, and while not physically visible has a physical basis. For projections within other systems, another transformation must and does take place. The physical connection will only allow you to go so far. What amounts to another projection from this first form then occurs.

A small snack before bed is a good one you see from this standpoint. Alcohol is of some benefit, though not to any great degree. Excellent results can be achieved in dream-based projections during the day, in a nap. When these are good they will perhaps be the best of any dream-based projections.

They are also exceedingly safe. The body itself is well stocked, so to speak, and it is possible to maintain projections for a longer period than usual in night projections. I am speaking now only of dream-based projections.
