Consciousness cannot be separated from mobility. It is true that you focus within the physical system mainly, yet the inner self is highly mobile and embarks simultaneously upon a variety of projections. The closest example in your experience of this mobility is the dream situation.

There are electromagnetic systems that make up experience. These may have counterparts, though not exact identities, within other systems totally alien to you as you know yourselves. Given certain unusual circumstances, you could leapfrog, so to speak, and end up within an energy gestalt from which you could not return. The personality structure simply would not take the transition.

Thoughts, as you know, contain their own electromagnetic reality. This means that each thought is an electromagnetic system in fact and not just in theory. Such a system is the basis for your physical system and these are highly valid. Theoretically only, with drugs it would be possible to be lost within an idea, caught in its electromagnetic reality, and forced to follow the ramifications and developments of the idea in various guises. The value fulfillment system would be changed. There would be development within that system, but you would be lost to your own system.

In trance states, there is a more or less stationary system waiting, so to speak. In trance states, consciousness itself brings about the chemical changes within it as it, consciousness, travels. Changes do occur within the body. When consciousness alters its direction it automatically alters the physical system. When it is ready to return the physical system is automatically prepared to receive it.

Now in the drug situation the state of consciousness desired is brought about by altering chemical properties. Consciousness, travelling, cannot automatically manipulate the physical station. Consciousness must stay out, you see, until the chemical situation has changed.

The inner self is highly capable and follows certain electromagnetic routes which it knows, and avoids other routes. Signals from the body reach it constantly. It is in immediate contact with the body on certain levels: survival levels. With these conditions satisfied, it can indeed travel further, so to speak, than in such an experience with drugs. I am comparing now the drug and drugless experiences at their best.

Consciousness on its own has a larger choice. The North-South position is still the best body position, though other positions may be used. This applies to either the drug or drugless experience. For various reasons, the time of the full moon is most beneficial. Rainy weather is an aid. For Ruburt, the time of ovulation is good.

There should not be any rubber on or near the body, nor on the legs of the bed, for example. Citrus fruits are an aid. The acid here, has electrical properties that help. I am not speaking now you see necessarily of projections, though these may occur. That is, the experience may or may not deal with projection in another image. Aspirin is a detriment, incidentally, usually.
