“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I lay down to try a projection one Friday afternoon last January — my last projection experiment for the winter. [...] I was just beginning the final draft of this book and told myself that I could have an excellent projection to use in this section. I specifically requested a projection within the room, rather than to an outside location.

Projections as Strange Sense Experiences

[...]

While we may “come awake” spontaneously within a dream, certain procedures do help, and these can induce projections from the dream state. [...]

What I have said, of course, applies as much to Buddha as it does to Christ: Both accepted the inner projections and then tried to physically represent these. They were more, however, than the sum of those projections. [...] In this case the projections were of violence predominating. [...]

[...] The various personages, the gods and prophets within religious history — these absorb the mass inner projections thrown out by those inhabiting a given time span.

[...] Many are also projected into other systems of reality. [...]

[...] The forbidden experiences will simply be unconsciously expressed, gather strength and vitality, and rise up to form a counter projection which will then form another, newer exterior religious drama.

These projections, from this dimension into others in this manner, again, are not unusual. Projections in terms of reference points appear also in your dimension, and you have as little knowledge or understanding of their true nature, as inhabitants of other dimensions have of your own.

There are here in what you call the subconscious, abilities and realities of which you know little, and as you see how the subconscious projects itself into other dimensions, so will you see more clearly how energy is projected outward to form your own world of matter. [...]

[...] The dream world is more closely connected with uncamouflaged experience in the spacious present, but it still is in a camouflage perspective, dealing with recognizable projections of material reality.

There are other dimensions, some of which you are almost ignorant, in which however you exist, or have some valid effect; where you are projected and where in one way or another you form a reference point.

[...] You can of course form secondary projections, or fragments, and rather consciously control them, as will be the case in any deliberate, underlined, projections.

[...] Projections may occur also from root dreams. You may project for example into the life of that physician.

[...] In projections this independence is more pronounced. [...]

In projections, for example, you may appear as an apparition within your own system or in another system. [...]

[...] There is always a minute difference in the physical body’s normal weight when the individual is projecting. The excess chemicals built up during the waking condition are used to help form the projecting images. There is a slight loss of electromagnetic potency and chemical potency when the individual is projecting.

[...] There are chemical changes that occur with the physical body when projections occur. [...] These vary according to the form in which the projection occurs.

[...] Subtle changes occur in the body when the inner self projects. This projection is not dependent upon physical life—that is, the survival of the human personality also is then not dependent upon physical survival, nor need it be supported by physical life. [...]

[...] In projections, and in your dreams, your perceptions to some extent enable you to leap out of the ego’s time limitations. [...] You do not need it, you see, for projections.

The dream images however are projections sent out, so to speak, by the personality, and many astral projections occur within the dream state of which the waking personality is unaware. In this case the projection is simply of a kind that allows manipulation back and forth between two realities. [...]

Dream images, not astral projections, operate within certain electrical limits, limits that form the boundaries of the dream universe. Dream images are nevertheless almost fibrous projections, almost a thinned-out composition, more plastic basically than physical matter, but composed of a number of the same properties. [...]

[...] It is as if the personality in sleep projected out of himself bits of himself, of his own physical matter, thinned out, stretched into an amazing plasticity; plastic properties that can change instantly from one form to another. He goes out with these portions of himself, but because of the nature of reality projections cannot be recalled.

[...] You constantly project and constantly emit energy in meaningful patterns on as many layers of activity as possible.

The experience of projection will give you some small glimmering of infinity. Pretend that in an exploration during a projection you found yourself beside a tree. [...]

[...] There are some lessons I will give you when you are projecting. I watch you during your projections, and look out for you. [...]

In projections, you see, you must dispense with normal psychological root assumptions. [...]

[...] The feeling that you would have inside this highly improbable projection would give you some idea, though a very weak one, of the feeling of infinity.

[...] For this reason, in any projections you may be startled, for here you also enter a less strictly camouflaged situation.

[...] This is what happens when you adopt a pseudoform in projections, though I am simplifying this considerably.

Now during some projections you may be aware of nothing as far as surroundings are concerned. [...]

[...] However you might automatically attempt to project images within it. [...]

I helped you, and you projected. Tell yourself that you want to remember as much as you want to project. [...]

(However, my efforts to project, or rather the remembrance of projecting, were again dismal failures. [...]

[...] In projections other portions of Ruburt’s personality leave your system. [...]

(“Will you help me project tonight?”)

[...] You are now in a projection. You have projected yourself to this room, in your terms, from other times and other places. You belong in this room at this moment of your time because you have projected yourselves into it. [...]

[...] As you have projected yourselves here, then give yourselves the freedom to project yourselves elsewhere. [...]

[...] Let it sustain you, let it carry you again safely back to the hallucination of the physical room and the projection that you now accept. [...]

Some dead friends and relatives do visit you, projecting from their own level of reality into yours, but you cannot as a rule perceive their forms. They are not more ghostly, or “dead,” however, than you are when you project into their reality — as you do, from the sleep state.

[...] You only recognize the physical materializations, but as mentioned earlier in this book, you send pseudoforms of yourself out from yourself of which you are not aware; and this is completely aside from the existence of astral travel or projection, which is a much more complicated affair.

If you think strongly of being in another location, a pseudoimage of yourself will be projected out from you to that place, whether or not it is perceived and whether or not you yourself are conscious of it, or conscious in it. [...]

[...] They are automatic projections.

There are no limits to the types of projections that can occur, basically speaking, for there are no limitations to the self, and a projection is an extension of the self. Your present existence is of course a projection. [...]

[...] Projections further extend the self and the identity, only this time in realms where the physical self cannot follow. Now this kind of projection, this extension of identity, is the true nature and the creative aspect of aggression. [...]

Projection then is aggression. [...] Each projection, for example, is the death, in one way, of the limited self that stood earlier.

A projection, an out-of-body experience, is a creative act, and again all creative acts are basically aggressive. Now, you change those dimensions in which your projections take place. [...]

(10:08.) This mystic projection is a continual activity. [...] The highest of man’s aspirations, therefore, will be projected upon physical history. [...]

[...] This greater dimension cannot be materialized in a three-dimensional system, yet the knowledge of this greater dimension floods outward from the innermost heart of being, and is projected outward, transforming all it touches.

An internal drama is carried on by each individual, a psychic drama which is finally projected outward with great force upon the field of history. [...]

[...] It then projects these outward into the area of physical reality. [...]

Conscious projections—I should clear this: Projections that are conscious ones—usually occur only to highly creative individuals. Spontaneous projections however do occur constantly to every consciousness. [...]

[...] We will deal with dream projections in detail, and then we shall discuss conscious projections literally from the waking state. I will give you my directions for projections from within the dream state first.

[...] Projections rarely occur except to creative individuals. Now I am taking considerable time to deal with projections because on a spontaneous basis they occur more or less constantly.

[...] Now when conscious projections occur you are taking advantage of these intervals between materializations. [...]

[...] From her notes: “Just before I went to sleep, I had a sort of mental projection that seemed to be into the past, my past. [...] Then, I moved through the streets easily enough as I got ‘older’ during the projection. Wait — just now as I wrote this I picked up something [from a part of my consciousness other than Ruburt or Seth], to the effect that the projection environment is as focused as mine is, really, but that it’s a probability of mine. [...]

[...] The form is etched in space and time, and yet the pattern itself exists outside of that framework also — the body is a projection, therefore, into the three-dimensional field.

[...] The projection in time and space may disappear, in your terms, wither and die. [...]

[...] Even then, I don’t think either of us expected Seth to carry out such a project tonight. [...]

[...] However, these forms are not mere projections — “flat” images. [...]

[...] This intense desire would then act something like a core of energy projected outward from your own mind, given a form, your form. [...]

These projections, then, actually are sent out constantly. [...]

[...] You projected it unknowingly, but through quite natural laws. [...]

[...] Whenever you feel that you have not used your abilities fully, you are doing two things: you are disapproving of yourself as you are, taking it for granted that you have gone astray in an important fashion, and you are also projecting that disapproval and “error” into the future.

Your whole civilization is immersed with the idea that the way to solve a problem–any problem, private or worldwide–is to exaggerate it, see its worst projection; and this, then, is supposed to make you take proper action. [...]

[...] You felt too sorry for him, and yet angry and embarrassed, and all of that was caused by concentrating upon the problem, projecting it in the future, in the definite belief, for all I have said, that that method of problem-solving works.

The belief is that if you frighten yourself badly enough through imagined projections and imagination, you will be frightened enough to change—but the nation or the individual following that method does not change for the better, but compounds the original condition, concentrates upon it until it looms larger than before. [...]

[...] Projection is certainly possible in any case. [...] This in no way changes the fact that projections are more easily executed with the head to the north.

(Astral Projection, by Oliver Fox. After reading part of this book very recently, Jane achieved her first deliberate projection.)

[...] The projection was a projection. [...]

Instead he has to form the imaginary image of a window, which is in itself some feat, and then project himself through this. [...] When you project from the dream body, you see, consciously you are already outside, as a rule. [...]

All such projections have an electromagnetic and chemical reality that has its origin within the field of the given personality. This projection of energy is one of the main characteristics of your kind. Dreams and dream images are then projected by the individual in sleep, and also in the waking state, although on a subconscious basis.

So are thoughts constantly sent outward, and other projections which we have not yet discussed. Therefore as the individual sends out these projections, so does he receive the projections of others. [...]

[...] For in the same way that dream images are projected outward from the personality, so also are thoughts projected, and all influences that extend from one personality to another.

These characteristic responses have been built up through past existences, and because the self is not limited the core can at any time expand and project.

Before conscious projection I would therefore recommend you take a small amount of starchy or sugar food. [...] For projections within other systems, another transformation must and does take place. [...] What amounts to another projection from this first form then occurs.

[...] The body itself is well stocked, so to speak, and it is possible to maintain projections for a longer period than usual in night projections. I am speaking now only of dream-based projections.

[...] Initially when projection is first accomplished, there is a strong charge of adrenaline. [...] There is a charge of sexual hormones, which are utilized also for projection.

[...] The trance may be masked also by sleep, if the projection occurs from a dream state. According to the intensity of the projection and according to the systems visited, the physical body becomes more or less rigid when consciousness returns to it.
