“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Seth now spoke about some remarks I had made earlier today, concerning my poor success in remembering my dreams and projections over a period of months now.)

[...] You fear that direct psychic experience in terms of projections could rob you of the energy you should put into your painting and quite unconsciously, though not entirely, when you are focusing upon your painting strongly with particular inner vigor, then you close the door to personal psychic adventures out of a misplaced jealousy for your art.

Now you project in your sleep whether or not you know it. [...]

[...] I somewhat misinterpreted what Seth had said concerning projections. [...]

[...] Here is question 1: When I project while I am pregnant, is my astral body pregnant; i.e., does the astral body carry the astral counterpart of the fetus, or does the astral fetus remain in my physical body, within the physical fetus? Does astral projection remove any necessary energy sustenance from the fetus?

[...] It may project to other areas entirely, while Sue is somewhere else in her astral form. [...] The mother may even go out after the child in a projection, and bring it home. [...]

[...] You will probably come to, realizing you have projected, several times, before becoming conscious of the mechanism of getting out.

You have indeed allowed yourself to meet with your friend Sue, and to operate within the apartment in a projected state. [...]

For all systems, so-called time is measured with the entrance or projection of any given mental action through this resistance barrier. The mental action projected must continue to project. [...]

[...] As the reflection of the tree, however, gives a waving and distorted appearance, so as the idea is projected into another field it also is seen in a distorted fashion.

[...] It recreates itself in the moment of its birth, with multitudinous slight variations and differentiations; and in so doing automatically plunges into, or projects itself into, those fields which attract the particular range of those differentials.

Yet these projections or reflections do not alter the fact, or change the basic nature of the so-called original mental act, and it remains as untouched by its own reflections as does the stationary tree remain independent from its reflections in the water.

You remind him not to project negatively into the future. [...] If this is handled correctly the entire project can (underline) incite emotional excitement. [...]

[...] In the same way, if he could count on you in the exercises for a while, this would relieve him of the fear that the project, begun unsuccessfully in the past, and not continued, would follow the same pattern. [...]

[...] I expect that you will have more such projections, and I will have more to say to you about them.

[...] These repressed emotions, and the whole charge behind such distorted concepts about the unconscious, result in a projection outward upon others. In your individual area there will be persons upon whom you will project all of those charged, frightening emotions or characteristics. At the same time you will be drawn to those individuals because the projections represent a part of you.

On a national basis the characteristics or qualities will be projected outward onto an enemy. [...]

[...] At the same time all of those flamboyant, creative, spontaneous, emotional surges that emerge normally from the unconscious become feared and projected outward, then, upon enemies, other races and creeds.

[...] They will then project the greatest sexual license upon those groups they choose to represent their own repressed behavior. [...]

Because you projected this upon her, and at one time it was a very safe place to project such feelings. [...] You were simply afraid of expressing the feelings in any capacity, and projected them, therefore, upon a person who subconsciously you felt would not be able to reciprocate. You very nicely projected them upon a person who was bonded as you were by all kinds of taboos, specifically against any such behavior, where they would be least reciprocated in physical terms, when any such action would automatically involve all kinds of guilt and retaliation, the most difficult position of which you could conceive. You would have projected them upon a priest, but this frightened you even more because the male relationship held for you a feeling of terror. You did not, you see, project them upon a person who could immediately answer them in kind, with no strings attached; but a relationship could be easy, open, and immediate. [...]

[...] It wants to see inner knowledge projected outward onto the physical reality then, to some extent, it will accept it and so through the eons that you know this inner knowledge, this inner vitality is projected outward onto history and onto historical events as you understand them. [...]

Now this inner drama cannot be understood by the ego, and so it is projected outward into external reality. [...] The individuals then accept this projection upon themselves—the heroes, in other words, or the gods, or the prophets, or the kings. [...]

[...] They have extraordinary force, and this is the projection from the inner self of this inner light outward onto people and events. [...]

When you are attached to the physical organism your projections are not as complete—the difference between a reincarnational instance and a simple projection from the physical state. [...] In a projection you are still within the physical system as a rule, though there are definite exceptions here.

[...] Projections in fact should give you an excellent idea of the reality of reincarnations. In an excellent projection you forget the self on the bed. [...]

[...] Reincarnation and projection are as real and as difficult for the ego to grasp, as the nature of dreams. [...] Reincarnations and projections of which you are not consciously aware have an equal effect, a stronger effect, upon your daily existence.

Now, my dear friend Joseph: Reincarnation and projection, you see, are one and the same thing.

The energy, that propelling supportive energy, used in out-of- body projections, will give astounding results. [...] Used in a projection, the same intensity of energy would allow results that could be proven without doubt, and accepted without reservation.

[...] Projections will also be excellent. Your influence over others will be heightened, and during such periods you will project emotions and ideas with great clearness. [...]

[...] Everything else was forgotten as he strove to project himself to those students.

This same kind of energy can be utilized most handily in projections of another sort. [...]

[...] The emotional projection at the very least was very strong—speaking out to those students—but some kind of out-of-body projection also occurred. [...] I had some difficulty coming out of the trance state and did not realize the fact of the projection critically until I lay in bed.

[...] One possibility here is that I do the projecting while Seth controls the physical body and uses the vocal cords to speak and to give verbal expression. [...]

[...] Each individual has his part to play in projecting these EE units into physical actuality. Therefore physical matter can be legitimately described as an extension of the self, as much as the physical body is a projection of the inner self. [...]

[...] It is the inner self, termed here the inner ego, that organizes, initiates, projects, controls the EE units of which we have been speaking lately, transforming energy into objects, into matter.

[...] I thought it odd at the time; but since we usually go out on Saturday evening anyhow, the thought of dropping in at the projected party did not unduly disturb.

Having determined upon physical reality as a dimension in which it will project itself, the inner self therefore first of all takes care to form and maintain the physical basis upon which all else must depend—those physical properties of earth that can be called natural ones.

(Did I ever do well projecting in any of my past lives? I mean did I consciously retain memory of the projections?”)

Now we have several projects: the book we have not yet begun, and more detailed account of your reincarnational history. [...] Our projects will all bear fruit however. [...]

We may organize our material for a while now around one or another of these projects, though in the past months, on a rather free-flowing basis you have received excellent material; and regardless of the organization or order of delivery, the material has its own form, and what I have in mind to say will be said. [...]

To that extent natural guilt projected man into the future. [...] Unfortunately, artificial guilt takes on the same attributes, utilizing both memory and projection. [...]

The “demons,” your projections, are then placed upon a national enemy, or the leader of another race; sometimes whole masses of population will project upon other large groups the images of their own unfaced frustrations. [...]

[...] You cannot inhibit one without similarly affecting the other, so under such conditions the docile loving child is usually projecting and expressing the restrained love for the family as a whole. [...]

With your projects of the past finished, the “man who needed a job” had no job. [...] That man approves of creative projects only when he thinks of them as jobs, when they become acceptable as legitimate male pursuits. [...]

[...] Trust that you know your next projects. Allow them to happen, and forget all projected limited suppositions, such as “I will never have the time to do this or that,” for those limitations do not exist in fact. [...]

[...] Through My Eyes isn’t involved—my projected biography.

[...] The taxes bothered you more this time because they fell just after your projects were finished. [...]

[...] You are so used to the image that you have projected outward that you are uncomfortable when you try to face a situation nakedly without the image. You project the image on one specific individual so strongly. You also project it in any of your relationships, as a rule, with men who are older than yourself. You do not want to or had not wanted to face even a transient relationship with a man because you did not then have time, you see, to project this image in any dependable manner. [...] You did not have time to project the image upon him, and you were afraid to see clearly without it. [...]

[...] You are seeing the image that you have projected upon him, and no one can live up to that image. [...] You will never have any relationship with the Dick Reed that you have projected upon a living human being. [...] But you cannot project that image upon another human being and deny him his own reality. [...]

[...] Now the information that I have given you this evening should help you to begin to see through this image that until now you have projected upon the males. [...] In other words you are not fated, you see, to always chase this false image or project it outward. [...]

[...] These qualities you attempt to project into the male that you meet. [...]

[...] In such cases almost, though not entirely without exception, such a duplicate is projected by an original electronically. [...] I wanted however to mention the possibility of such occurrences, since such projections have and do happen with some frequency.

If you will consider the projection of a thought, that is intangible, so that it affects another individual, and hence both directly and indirectly affects the action of physical matter, then you may consider the possibility of other such projections. [...]

[...] Portions of the electrical universe are projected into many fields. [...]

[...] In certain states of consciousness, particularly in projections from the dream state, we achieve a peculiar poise of alertness. [...]

Since this book was not devoted exclusively to projections, I did not include those embarked upon from waking or trance states, though some of these provided excellent “evidence.” [...]

My students provided me with many projection reports from the dream state. [...]

[...] And yet, I thought, psychologists talk about projection and transference by which we project our fears outward to another person or object and then react to them.

[...] The psyche attempts to get rid of them by projecting them into a specific area of the body; in the case of ulcers, the diverted energy goes into the actual production of the ulcer itself. [...] In other instances, the inhibited emotions can be projected outward into other persons, or as in the case of the York Beach images, very charged repressed energy can actually form pseudophysical images which present the personality with the physically materialized image of his fears.

[...] “The projected fragments disappeared. [...]

[...] Often when a child cries about a bogeyman, what he has seen is such an image production or fibrous projection, formed by vivid desire on the part of the subconscious.”

As a society you may project it upon the criminal, as a nation upon a foreign country. [...] In whatever area you choose, though, you will feel relatively weak in comparison with the strength that you have projected outward. [...]

[...] The confined project their personal problems out upon the society. [...]

[...] (See Chapter Six, and the 633rd session in Chapter Eight.) Augustus felt powerless, considering power in terms of aggression and violence, so he isolated that portion of himself from himself and projected it into a “second self.” [...]

[...] They can all work in such a way that you deny yourself the use of your abilities — and this in turn causes you to project them outward upon others.

Ruburt has made some effort to avoid negative projections, and has therefore met with some success. Last evening, however, he became involved in a round of such projections, which operate, of course, as negative suggestions. [...] Previously this round of projections had been almost automatic—that is, he did not catch himself at it, but accepted the worries as worries, without seeing that the situations might or might not occur.

[...] There is no use in telling yourself in absolute terms that you will never project negatively. [...] Ruburt can, however, each day tell himself that for that day he will try to avoid such negative projection. [...]

[...] Your remark therefore instantly alerted him, and in spite of company coming almost immediately, and in spite of his worries generated by the projections, he did immediately use your remark in such a way that he was challenged creatively to change his approach at once.

He resolved that he would refrain from such projections for the evening, and he did. [...]

[...] Each individual has his part to play in projecting these EE units into physical actuality. Therefore, physical matter can be legitimately described as an extension of the self, as much as the physical body is a projection of the inner self.

[...] It is the inner self, here termed the inner ego, that organizes, initiates, projects, and controls the EE (electromagnetic energy) units of which we have been speaking, transforming energy into objects, into matter.

With the natural structures formed and maintained, other secondary physical properties—secondary constructions—are projected. [...]

[...] In a healthy personality, the inner self easily projects all experience into EE units, where they are translated into actuality. [...]
