“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

At your stage it is of course easier if the actual separation of consciousness from the physical body occurs without your awareness. However the experience itself is excellent training. I have told you that these projections may carry you to different systems. In the beginning you are safer perhaps in those projections that involve your own reality.

The reasons are somewhat obvious. Conscious projections are dependent upon abilities and control. Also this ability and control presupposes a fairly disciplined personality. Otherwise we would have explosive outbursts of suddenly released aggressions in systems where they do not belong.

You will to some degree learn control amid a conglomeration of energy forces that have no objective form. All objects as you know are energy. If the energy is focused in a particular manner, then you have physical objects within your system.

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.

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.
