On occasion the waking consciousness does participate during other usually very depressed periods. But generally speaking high energy is needed in order to maintain overall stability, and in order that the ego is not overstrained. Such conscious projections are automatically spaced out. In this way there is little danger that problems will arise.

You may experience this in your projections. Perhaps as a barrier to your own motion, or perhaps as a propelling agent, over which you have little control. It is not harmful but may surprise you. It is not correct precisely to call this a current, although spiritualistic literature speaks of it as such.

It is very simply the energy that composes your universe, only you are usually familiar with it when it is formed into matter exclusively. Now it is this that may carry you to other systems, though the word carry seems to imply a motion backward or forward. The motion may feel backward or forward, but instead there is an immersion into various depths.

On very few occasions you may, if you are lucky, travel or project so effectively that you are aware of the spacious present, in which case you will sense the reality of all systems simultaneously. But here there is a strong possibility that memory of the experience in its entirety will not be retained.

These forms do exist, as your physical body does. They are fused however with your inner self. They are not physical, but they do exist in the whole package of the self, perhaps like the skins of an onion, you see. They are merely the forms that your own consciousness takes in different dreams.

When you become proficient this can be avoided to some extent, but never entirely. Because of the nature of such projections you are not stationed, so to speak, within any of the systems through which you may pass. Therefore you cannot expect any great permanence for yourself within them.
