Generic Patterns and Images

Generic Patterns and Images

Now.  These generic images are composed of highly complicated electromagnetic complexes.  They have nothing to do with physical vision.  They are built up through cellular memory, and are to some extent activated replicas of previous forms.

They are not one-dimensional images therefore, nor for that matter are they static.  They are vital, full of their own energy reality, living composites.  In dreams as a rule you can only perceive them as images.  They possess a psychic identity however that is biological to some extent as far as you are concerned.  In other words, at this time various biological changes must occur in order for you to tune in upon them directly.

I use the word directly loosely, for only the inner senses can really contact them without the necessity of distortions.  To some extent, on their own level they have an awareness of the dreams in which they participate.  They function to some extent independently.  However your emotional moods become their psychological climate.

They are aware of your egotistical self, but very dimly.  You are their environment, so to speak, and they are aware of your health and vitality as it affects them and their own well being.  Some are stronger than others.  Some are intrusive.  Your whole physical system contains these generic patterns and images.  They are held together and unified by the higher organizations of the self.

When these organizations break down or collapse, for any reason, these generic patterns are no longer held in their subordinate position, and become more highly activated.  In some cases this gives rise to the hallucinations of the mentally ill.

The generic patterns set up certain organizations among themselves, maintaining direction over some cellular functions, and are closely allied with the movement and purifying agencies of the blood, and also the kidney function.  Their vitality is influenced by the seasons, and runs in cycles of ten to fifteen days, followed by a more relaxed period.  They are also connected with your ability to utter vowels, and they are themselves sensitive to sound.

You understand that these are units of electromagnetic patterns, highly codified, and not active little animals in your blood.  Indeed, they take up no space, as the dream within your head takes up no space.  They are the results of interactions, and still they exist in reality whether or not those interactions activate them.

They are more obvious in the young child.  The adult is hardly aware of them, except in some dreams, and then their meaning is misinterpreted.

We shall leave this discussion for now, however, and return to a study of projections.

In some trance stages however, you may become aware of these generic patterns, you see, project them outward, and think you are perceiving some strange apparition.  This kind of experience could take place immediately before a projection, you see, though this is not usual.

Projections

Now, projections do involve variations in intensities on your part.

There are definite strains connected here.  On a conscious level you must gain confidence as you did learning to walk.  It is quite possible however to project without any alarming physical symptoms whatsoever.  Often suggestion itself changes the symptoms.

In dreams, when you expect none, none appear.  Out of body experiences indeed can be a health boon.  Your system is automatically relaxed and free of pressure.  Also, incidentally, free of time.  It does not age during a projection; that is, the body does not age.  It is in suspension.  Any interpretations that are made are made by consciousness itself.  The physical senses are not utilized.  At the moment of perception the travelling consciousness perceives through the inner senses, and by itself automatically makes the necessary adjustments so that the ego can perceive the data in its accustomed way.

This is done automatically.  The data is not radioed back to the physical body, so to speak, for interpretation.  Consciousness can adapt physical methods of procedure even when separated from the body.  It forms its own pseudophysical apparatus, even as it originally forms the physical image of itself.  The consciousness is aware of seeing and observing more or less in physical terms, and so it is.
