Distortions occur at transitionary points, or at points of imbalances. There is a meshing then of data from various levels. A projection obviously need not be conscious. The waking self may be engaged in normal activities while the inner self is someplace else entirely. There are more brief periods of forgetfulness however than people usually realize, and in these periods often projections have occurred.

We must use analogies. It can be thought of as the most exterior projection of the inner ego. When you find yourself, so to speak, watching what you think of as the ego, then you are in contact with this portion of the self. It is aware of both conscious and subconscious motivations and realities, and it is also aware of projections into other fields of actuality. I have hinted before of these matters, for when I say that you will use this other portion of the self to examine waking consciousness and probe beneath it, I already presuppose a you that uses this self. In other words, you are already magnifying the limitations of the self and extending them.

Various levels of consciousness are projected from the self in much the same manner. They are united however as interior and subsidiary identities that are a part of your own, and they are sent out by the inner self for various reasons. The thought is a psychological reality, a psychological and psychic identity but not a structured personalized identity. The self may send out fragments of itself in projections. These may or may not be structured personalized identities though they will be dependent for their existence upon the whole self.
