“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Often when the child cries about a bogeyman, what he has seen is such an image production or fibrous projection, formed by vivid desire or fear on the part of the subconscious. These powers to project realities of this sort, or pseudorealities of this sort, are meant to be suspended for all intents and purposes during the earth plane. [...]

(“If Jane and I had subconsciously accepted the images we projected at York Beach, [they were older] would we have been able to return to our present home, where we are known?”

(“Have we, or either one of us, had any other experiences with similar projections?”

[...] What are they but projections or fragments from the entity itself? [...]

For this projection of inner into outer is automatic. [...] Actually, of course, it is reacting to its own reality, projected outward.

[...] The inner will always be projected outward within your system. [...]

[...] A variety of poor or negative feelings, however, of fairly low intensity, can add up to a general negative emotional climate, which projects itself outward into physical reality.

As you do, your behavior does change, and Ruburt there (underlined) is not projecting. [...]

[...] You have projected it into contacts with publishers. [...]

[...] You did not realize however that you projected also (underlined), that if he harbored resentments in one area you harbored them quite as stubbornly in another.

[...] She has no idea of subject matter, title, etc., for any projected book by Seth. [...]

Reincarnation, so-called, cannot adequately be considered then as a phenomenon apart from the nature of personality either, for it is a direct result of the inner self’s attempt to project its personality characteristics outward into a world of physical actuality.

Now: I want to maintain the framework of our sessions even while I give you a mini-vacation before our next main project. [...]

I am not going to say more about our next project this evening, simply that it is in preparation. [...]

[...] I am not speaking now you see necessarily of projections, though these may occur. That is, the experience may or may not deal with projection in another image. [...]

[...] It is true that you focus within the physical system mainly, yet the inner self is highly mobile and embarks simultaneously upon a variety of projections. [...]

[...] In one regard, this is a projection from a molecular standpoint. [...]

[...] You can travel instantaneously in many projections. Some projections will involve you in nontime, but these are advanced projections and would be chaotic to you unless you were prepared.

[...] In those projections still within your system, you are still bound by a time relationship, in that it seems to you that perception operates as usual.

[...] Now at any of these various stages of consciousness, other phenomena may also be perceived — thought-forms for example, energy manifestations, projections from the personal subconscious, and projections from the collective unconscious. [...]

[...] The nature of their activity, therefore, will be projected outward from the personality onto the relatively passive materialization. [...]

Deeper projections into that environment may then be possible. [...]

[...] Even projection from your universe into a universe of antimatter is most difficult, for example. [...]

[...] Of course projection is involved, on both of your parts, and not therefore simply on Ruburt’s . He to some extent (underlined twice) recognizes his projections, is consciously aware of them, and tries to deal with them, but in that particular situation you do not recognize yours, though you understand to some degree your different individual reactions.

[...] You project upon him the attributes of emotional extravagance that you fear in your mother. [...]

[...] In projections most of all the self must be mobile. [...]

[...] In projections the inner self is free to travel within its capabilities—underlined, within its capabilities.

There are many other experiences encountered in projections and in ordinary living, you see, that are not translated into physical terms, for in physical terms they would have no meaning. [...]

Only some of the data in projections is thus translated. [...]

[...] You and Ruburt both will be involved in another period of rather concentrated psychic activity together as a main project, within a short time. [...]

[...] The third such point will find your individual activities heightened; spontaneous visions and occurrences for example on your part; generally better projections on Ruburt’s part, and heightened psy-time periods for you both. [...]

Now the suggestion to carry your waking consciousness into the sleep state is of particular value in conscious projections, if you will use it. [...]

[...] It is the reason why you do not remember quite legitimate projections you have made.

[...] You can only perceive distorted projections of these quasars.

What your scientists are perceiving is the form, the camouflage form, which the projections of the quasars take within your system.

It is of course because of your highly distorted ideas of time that you persist in projecting antiquated concepts of past, present and future outward into explorations of your universe. [...]

[...] When an atom is examined however within your system, you think of it as existing only within your system, for you only perceive with your instruments those aspects of it that are projected within your system.

[...] The inner psychological state is projected outward, gaining physical reality. [...]

[...] For example: if others seem deceitful to you it is because you deceive yourself and then project this outward onto others.

[...] If an individual sees only evil and desolation in the physical world, it is because he is obsessed with evil and desolation and projects them outward and closes his eyes to all else. [...]

[...] And all without realizing his basic concept of himself and without recognizing the fact that he projects it outward onto others.

She projected this feeling to Ruburt also, particularly because Ruburt knew Don Wollheim. [...]

[...] She was quite sleepy at break, and said Seth was “putting her under” in order to talk about the thought-form and projection experience of last night with the least amount of distortion. [...]

Now the evil which Ruburt imagined he was projecting outward does not exist, but because he believed it did, he formed his materialization from his fears. [...]

Now Ruburt was attempting a legitimate projection, and the Grant book, in the overall, was good for him; but he got the idea for such a materialization by playing around unconsciously with an idea in the book. [...]

[...] Projections can also occur from these — that is, you may, for example, project into the life of the doctor. [...] The projections of which I spoke happen occasionally and spontaneously on both of your parts.)

A group of us are at my parents’ house, in the cellar, projecting. [...] I step into it and meet several strange catlike people who explain that I have projected into a warp of dimensions and entered their reality. [...]

[...] I consider projecting but decide not to ruin the bike experience for Carl who would dearly love to own a motorcycle, even if he is only a dream Carl of mine.

Another student asked, “Do we often project our fears and guilts on to probable personalities?”

[...] The methods by which emotions, concepts, and energy are projected out from the individual to form the physical environment and events, mainly occur in nonphysical terms, but there are nervous system connections that aid in this projection. [...]

[...] You then project this into physical events which you then physically perceive.

[...] The entire circle consists of those projections outward that form events, as well as the mechanisms by which the events are then physically perceived.

The projection of the man’s anima, or hidden female self, upon [his] relations is quite natural, and allows him not only to understand them better but to relate with the other female existences of his own. The same is true of the woman’s projection of the animus upon male relatives and friends. [...]

[...] Often past-life memories come to the surface but are not recognized as such, since they appear in fantasy form, or are projected into art creations.

[...] Here is another reason for the strong psychic charge behind these symbols and the godlike quality that they can transmit and project.

In such cases the dilemma is projected outside of the self and seen as an exterior condition which can be manipulated. [...] Such problems projected outward can never really be solved as far as the individual is concerned, of course, since their source is not understood.

(Pause.) In all of these areas the problem, whatever its nature or cause, is in one way or another “magically” transferred to another facet of activity, projected away from the self. [...]

You will often try to project a problem outward to free yourself. [...]

You can project your dilemmas or your abilities outward into other avenues of activity, then, but until you realize that you form your reality and that your power resides in the moment, you will not be able to solve your problems nor utilize your strengths properly.

Look at this projection from the dream state, for example. One morning after breakfast I lay down to try a dream projection. This simply means that I can sometimes recognize when I am dreaming, bring my normal “waking consciousness” into the dream situation, and then use it to project my consciousness elsewhere. [...]

Whole blocks of sessions deal with the methods used and the conditions that can be met in projections of consciousness from the dream state. Seth says that he has personally assisted me in some of my own projection experiments, but that I have not been aware of his assistance. [...]

[...] Although I’d read of people being attacked by demons or the like while they were “projecting,” I just didn’t believe in demons. [...]

Seth went on to say: “The evil that Ruburt imagined he was projecting outward does not exist, but because he believed it did, he formed the materialization from his fears. [...]

[...] Here aggressive and destructive energies were unconsciously projected outward, given a pseudoreality and a temporary physical validity. [...]

Now even in the case of hallucinations, the originator uses projections from his own physical structure, which he then perceives. [...]

The emotional charge provides the pattern, and the impetus for creation, and in the York Beach affair and like situations, it provides for the actual projection or externalization itself. [...]

[...] Instead of projecting them outward, as you did into such images, they are directed to a specific area in the body; or in other cases allowed to wander, so to speak, traveling troublemakers, through the entire physical system.

It is as if your present situation and all its physical phenomena were projected from within yourself outward, giving you a continuous running motion picture, forcing you to perceive only those images that were being transposed. [...]

They serve to mask other quite valid realities that exist at the same time, however, and actually from these other realities you gain the power and the knowledge to operate the material projections. [...]

[...] They are not deceived by the images that you project in three-dimensional reality. [...]

Anything of which you are aware in three-dimensional existence is only a projection of a greater reality into that dimension. [...]
