“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You should try willing yourself into another room. When you awaken in the middle of the night, try such an experiment. Your projections do involve you in extensive levitations from the dream state, but you recall only a few. The most extensive traveling is done in nightly excursions, but it is easiest to remember those dream projections that occur during naps in the day, simply because the waking consciousness is more alert.

If possible, you should make an effort to conquer the fear involved with levitations, for the fear prevents you from recalling such experiences. Projections of a kind do also occur while the normal waking consciousness is up and about its normal chores. These are rarely remembered: that is, the waking consciousness retains no memory of them.

When dream elements combine to cloud a projection, this is the work of a certain level of consciousness, trying to interpret the strange conditions. This usually occurs at certain levels where consciousness is not yet completely free of the physical body. Some of the dream elements will be thought-forms.

Now, you form the physical universe individually and yet find it cohesive. There are similarities upon which you all agree, of environment and conditions. The same can be said of all systems into which you may project. But you must learn which portions of the environment are held by all, generally speaking, and which are not. You must learn the new root assumptions in other words. This is precisely what you are doing in your projections.

I have told you that some portion of our sessions involves projection. The degree varies from session to session. There will be a time when Ruburt will project out of his body during sessions and remember what transpires while I speak through his body. When projections occur now he is not consciously aware of them. These things are not forced, you see. On other occasions we meet, so to speak. I will go into this perhaps soon, for there are the similarities here and significances, involving states of consciousness used by both Ruburt and myself, and the type of projection achieved. These have bearing on the clearness or undistorted nature of the material. Less satisfactory projections cause distortions, you see, that are characteristic features of this state of consciousness at that time.
