Now. Ruburt’s experience involving you was quite legitimate, although you were not consciously aware of your activities.

You were nevertheless largely responsible for the encounter as it took place. You were thinking both consciously and below consciousness about Ruburt’s appointment at the dentist. You wanted to give him confidence and to reassure him. This acted as an emotional impetus.

You did not want to project, per se. You wanted to be here to offer reassurance. The desire got you here. Your conscious mind was taken up fully with your activities, giving the inner self full rein. In the same way do you travel in other realities without being aware of your journeys. You were not frightened, either of you, because of the familiar surroundings, and you were unusually free to express your feelings for each other, released from restraints of time.

For your own purposes an unfinished painting on your easel would help you project to your studio, for you would psychically wish to return to study it. You have in fact often done this, though you do not remember. It would be to your advantage to try some experiments together however. Besides this the two of you travelling together could help each other retain proper consciousness and purpose during projection. If Ruburt knows he is projecting he should try to remember you, and to rouse you astrally.

Left alone, any such construction will eventually vanish. It will however leave a trace. This does not necessarily mean it will leave a trace in your consciousness. A trace in electromagnetic reality, where it can then be activated by anyone when certain conditions are met, or are favorable.

Denying energy to such a construction can be like pricking a balloon. It can instantly disintegrate, be deflated. The prick however is comparable to a conscious and subconscious denial of the construction’s validity. Then all attention must be taken from it, for it thrives on attention.

This is entirely different from Ruburt’s attempt with his creature, for he was trying to form an evil creature, in those terms, to slay—a thing conscious of its own evil in those terms, and that is always dangerous. Do you see the difference?

The amount of conscious thought given to any construction obviously reinforces it. Ruburt became a writer because he thought of being a writer constantly. He became ill, generally speaking, for the same reason.
