“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you are attached to the physical organism your projections are not as complete—the difference between a reincarnational instance and a simple projection from the physical state. Obviously the sense data appears the same. In both instances you appear to be physically perceiving, and so you are. In a projection you are still within the physical system as a rule, though there are definite exceptions here.

Whenever you are attached in any way, whenever consciousness is attached to a physical organism, then inner data will be interpreted in physical terms. You can indeed learn to perceive reality in other terms, and you are both doing so.

You must still deal with physical reality, for it is definitely the representation of inner data. I have said this constantly: Expectation is behind all sense data, and forms it. I have told you—and incidentally my lovely skeptics I have told you in the past—that you create your own physical environment and universe. Your physical condition in every way is a reflection of your inner expectations, accomplishments, and failures, and I have told you that any illness is the result of an inner distortion.

It should be remembered that the intellect, in the light of this book, is as perfect then as any other manifestation of what is termed divine spirit. The intellect has been trained unfortunately to deal almost exclusively with the results of sense data. This does not mean that it cannot and should not do more.

You will learn through experience many and excellent methods that can be utilized for your advantage. Through projections you will become acquainted with the mobility and stability of the inner self, as separate from the physical apparatus.
