Projections continue in the waking state, beneath it, as they continue beneath the dreaming state, you see. Now you have learned the methods at least that allow you to become aware of some projections that occur during the dream state. You realize that knowledge alone is not enough, that practice and ability play a considerable part. There are methods that will allow you to catch yourself in the middle of projections embarked upon from the waking state. This is considerably more difficult.

These also must be allowed their motion and should not be hampered. Beneath these however you will sense either light or darkness, images of light or darkness, and these will lead to the projection conditions or environment. The only way to prove waking projections of this type to yourself is by following this method.

You are not attempting a projection here. You are following levels of your own consciousness until you discover yourself in an environment of which the ordinary waking consciousness had been previously unaware. This is a relatively difficult feat, for the waking consciousness must not be shut off, or you defeat your purpose.

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.
