We shall leave this discussion for now, however, and return to a study of projections.

In some trance stages however, you may become aware of these generic patterns, you see, project them outward, and think you are perceiving some strange apparition. This kind of experience could take place immediately before a projection, you see, though this is not usual.

Now, projections do involve variations in intensities on your part.

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.
