Body Forms While Projecting Into Other Dimensions

Body Forms While Projecting Into Other Dimensions

There are several points I would like to make.  For all practical purposes, you will find yourself in some sort of body form in your out-of-body experiences.

These body forms however are necessary camouflages, for you cannot yet think of identity without some kind of physical body.  Therefore you project yourself in a body form.  It varies according to your own abilities, and without it you would feel lost indeed.  The form itself is not important, but the form can tell you something about the dimension in which you are having experience.

(1) The Dream Body, or Astral Body

The dream body is the one with which you are most familiar.  It has been called the astral body.  It strikes you as being physical, though you can do things with it that you cannot do with your physical body.  You can levitate with it, for example.  As a rule you do not go through walls with this body.  This is the body that you use for ordinary dreams.  Levitation is possible with it, but on a very limited basis.

(2) The Mind Form

When you enter a different dimension the abilities of the body form change, and for all intents and purposes it is a different body form, which we will call a mind form.  It still seems physical in shape, but you can walk through physical matter with it, and you can truly levitate with it within your solar system, but you cannot go beyond in this mind form.

You can travel anywhere within your solar system however with it.  In the first form it is possible to perceive the past, present and future on a limited basis.  In the second form this perception is on a larger scale, the scope of consciousness being further opened.  Now this is the form that you will use if you meet appointments with others within the dream state.

(3) The True Projection Form

The third form we may call the true projection form.  In it, it is possible to travel beyond your solar system, and to perceive the past, present and future of other systems as well as your own.

The form that you use does not dictate the various abilities.  You don the particular form in line with your abilities.  You do the best you can, in other words.  It is possible to begin an experience in one form, and change to another, or to go from the first to the third.  On such occasions you must therefore, you see, pass through in reverse direction.  The forms do merely represent various stages of consciousness.

At Physical Death

At physical death, after the last reincarnation, then the normal body form is the dream body, and excursions are made from this point, you see.  It is possible to suddenly switch from the third form to the dream body, but at a considerable jolt to the consciousness as a rule.  Transition is simply too sudden.

Dream Guides

Now I realize that Ruburt is not too happy with me for bringing up this next point.  Intellectually he is highly critical of it.  On another level however he knows very well that it is legitimate.  There are indeed others who can help you in such experiences, and who often do while you are in the dream state, whether or not you know it.  They can be of great assistance as guides.

Head To The North

Now my dear friends, you will find all projections much easier if your head is to the north.

Ruburt will not be happy with this.  Projection is certainly possible in any case.  However at your period of development it would be simpler to have everything working for you that you can.  It is up to you to make decisions.  Perhaps the other comforts that the room affords you with the bed in another position, is worth it to you for a while.  This in no way changes the fact that projections are more easily executed with the head to the north.

Astral Projection

One small interesting point here.  Ruburt’s projection upon first looking over the Fox book was quite legitimate.

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

However the window, you see, was quite a valid fabrication of his own.  The projection was a projection.  The window through which he ascended was a symbol necessary to him.  The actual physical window was behind his head, you see, so he felt impelled to have a window in front of him, in order to get out of the physical house.

I found this amusing.  The symbol was a highly valuable one however, obviously.  You will both improve with practice.  Because of your ideas, you see, you experience more difficulty in getting out of the physical house.  Ruburt’s window image, had the experience continued, would have effectively done this for him.  He did not have the confidence to imagine himself, you see, passing through the physical walls.

Instead he has to form the imaginary image of a window, which is in itself some feat, and then project himself through this.  It is quite all right.  I merely wanted to point out what he did.  When you project from the dream body, you see, consciously you are already outside, as a rule.  You have already made the initial change away from physical focus.

The mass of valid projections are indeed made from this dreaming body.  When the excursion is over the return to the dream body is made with no strain, you see, for the ego is little concerned.  In most such instances however the knowledge is then not available to the waking self at all.

Now.  Some of Fox’s suggestions are excellent.  They will allow you to take the waking consciousness along with you.  As your abilities develop and as you become more accustomed to the experience, the waking consciousness will recall more and more, and not become frightened.  When it becomes frightened you see it forces the whole experience to end.  If it were not taken along the same experience might have continued, and greater benefits been achieved for the whole self.

But the training here is vastly important, and a manipulation of consciousness in this way has definite advantages.  It will take some work on your part, but you will indeed be able, perhaps with some use of suggestion, to realize, when in the dream state, those occasions when you are projecting.

Then you can prolong the experience, and recognize it as a valid out-of-body excursion.  The mobility of consciousness will automatically allow you greater freedom in using your inner perceptions in waking life also.  For this is a motion of consciousness, a motion that has little to do with the motion of the physical body.

However there is a chemical energy used in all such out-of-body experiences.  The chemical reaction results in an electromagnetic connection between the consciousness and the physical body, and without it there would be no return to the physical body, in your terms.  Of course it is mental energy that makes the chemical energy possible, however.  This freedom of consciousness is not dependent upon physical existence, you see.

During your present life however the connection must be maintained.  I do want to mention however that all consciousness within your system has the same sort of freedom within certain degrees.
