There are definite strains connected here. On a conscious level you must gain confidence as you did learning to walk. It is quite possible however to project without any alarming physical symptoms whatsoever. Often suggestion itself changes the symptoms.

In dreams, when you expect none, none appear. Out of body experiences indeed can be a health boon. Your system is automatically relaxed and free of pressure. Also, incidentally, free of time. It does not age during a projection; that is, the body does not age. It is in suspension. Any interpretations that are made are made by consciousness itself. The physical senses are not, underline not, utilized. At the moment of perception the traveling consciousness perceives through the inner senses, and by itself automatically makes the necessary adjustments so that the ego can perceive the data in its accustomed way.

This is done automatically. The data is not radioed back (gesture, eyes closed) to the physical body, so to speak, for interpretation. Consciousness can adapt physical methods of procedure even when separated from the body. It forms its own  pseudophysical apparatus, even as it originally forms the physical image itself. The consciousness is aware of seeing and observing more or less in physical terms, and so it is.

(Jane had some images and these will be mentioned in place. This is a case where Jane had seen one of the two items making up the envelope objects very recently—the beer can cap, on Friday, October 7, three days ago. She had never seen my penned note bearing the date and identifying the brand of beer, Draft Beer. See pages 86-88 for tracings of the two envelope objects, and the beer can. I might add that Jane saw the beer can cap only in a casual way. There were quite a few lying about our living room Friday evening. Our candle was not lit until late that evening. When I picked up a cap to blacken in the flame I thought this would focus Jane’s conscious attention on this particular one, but she told me at break tonight that she hadn’t noticed my heating the cap, or else had forgotten it.

(“An advantage. Something to do with an advantage.” Jane read the article aloud to us, then Bill, Don and I tried tipping the table first. We sat at the south end of the table and made the vacant north end rise as we chanted away, per instructions in the article. What the three women didn’t know at the time was that the three of us were helping nature out a little, making the free end of the table rise by conscious physical pressure from our hands.
