“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would like you to seriously embark upon the hobby of out-of-body travel. There is no reason why you cannot become proficient at it if you are strongly enough motivated. You will find all kinds of people that can serve as models for you. The alteration of consciousness involved will also enable you to make several distinct and advantageous changes of focus, in line with your own work.

For your particular purposes you might imagine that you are walking through, or traveling through, one of your own paintings. Try to throw your consciousness into the environment you have painted. Observe particularly the colors that would be observable to you in many out-of-body states. There are gradations with which you are not familiar. They will inspire changes in your own palette.

For that matter you will be giving them additional energy and refreshment because of the experiments. The ideal will be to travel together. Ruburt already knows how to leave the body, using several methods from the sleep state and immediately before it.

These methods will suffice. He must also remind himself however to assist you, and to contact your astral self. If he finds himself astrally awake and sees only your physical body, then you are either on an unconscious astral trip already, or your astral body has not left your physical one.

If he only sees your physical body then he should address you, announce his own out-of-body state and invite you to join him. If you are still in your body and if conditions are good, you will then leave your body and join him. If there is no response then you are on an unconscious projection of your own. When astral contact is made, some manipulations may be necessary in order to maintain them, but there is nothing to worry about if you go your separate ways.

This method simplifies things for you, since on those two nights you need only tell yourself that you will listen for Ruburt’s call. You will both learn added control by traveling together. You can also travel further in a cooperative effort.

Now then. You will not need too many experiences before your own confidence will allow you to leave your body without Ruburt’s assistance, but the joint traveling is still important. You can help and guide each other as you do in physical life.
