Projection Into Other Dimensions (continued)

Projection Into Other Dimensions (continued)

We will continue our previous discussion.

I want to give you some idea of the conditions that you may expect to meet in any successful projections, so that you will be prepared to some extent.  For simplicity’s sake we shall call the body forms of which we spoke in our last sessions, forms one, two and three.

Form 1 - Projecting From The Ordinary Dream State

Now, form number one will spring out of an ordinary dream state.  In spontaneous projections you may become conscious in form number one, legitimately project, return to the ordinary dream state, and project again several times.  You can expect therefore that these projections will be difficult to interpret, though you may find the experience intact in the middle of the record of any given dream.

The excursions with form number one will be of your own system, and largely connected to the earth, although past, present and future may be involved.  You may, for example, visit New York in 2,000.  This is at least possible, you see, using form number one.

The projections here are fairly short in duration, though exceptionally clear.  You may encounter phantoms from your own subconscious however, and they will seem exceedingly real.  If you realize that you are projecting you may simply order any unpleasant subconscious phantoms to disappear, and they will do so.

They will do so in the same way that a nightmare will disappear if you realize that it is a product of your own subconscious.  If you treat it as a reality however, then you must deal with it as such, until you realize its origin, or return to the ordinary dream state. 

Form 2 – The Mind Form

In form two, you will not as a rule encounter any subconscious phantoms, and usually you make the change to form two from the state in which form one is used.  The ordinary dream elements will not be as frequent, nor will they intrude as much into the experience itself.

A longer duration of projection is possible.  The vividness is extraordinary.  You will begin here to perceive very clearly constructions that are not your own, where earlier these were but dimly glimpsed.  A certain period of orientation will be necessary, simply because these other constructions may be bewildering.  Some will exist in your future.  Some may have existed in your past, and some were thought of but never physically materialized.

But the reality of all of these constructions will be equally vivid, you see, for they are indeed equally real.  I will give you one very simple example.  Suppose you find yourself in a room with certain people, and you recognize later upon awakening that this room and these people both belong to a particular sequence in a novel.  You think then, “This was no projection, simply a dream.”

It may however be a valid projection.  The room and the people do exist, but they do not exist in the manner which you endorse as reality.  They exist in another dimension, but as a rule you cannot perceive it.  In this case, you see, since the book has already been written you could say that the scene was a past event, at least of the imagination, at the time the author conceived of it.

Obviously, physical reality only happens to be the portion of reality you recognize.  The paintings that you will paint exist now.  It is possible for you to project yourself into one of your own future landscapes.  This would not be an imaginative projection.  This is what I am trying to tell you.

You may find yourself in the midst of a battle that was once planned in some general’s mind, a battle that never materialized in physical reality.

In such a case incidentally, you were not a part of the battle, and you cannot be harmed.  However you might be attracted enough to project yourself spontaneously into the body of one of the soldiers, in which case you could experience pain, until your own fear pulled you back.  It will be a matter of learning control under such conditions.

There are various situations which you must learn to handle, attractions and repulsions which could pull you willy-nilly in any direction.  Experience is the only way for you to learn how to handle these.

What is required is a steady maintenance of identity, under conditions which will be new as far as your conscious awareness is concerned.  In the cases about which we have been speaking, I cannot emphasize too strongly that actual projection into other dimensions occurs.  Many such instances are often considered mad dreams, because there is no way to check against physical events.  The events never happened in physical terms.

Now listen carefully for a moment.  It is possible in form two to project to a future event in which you will be involved, and by an act that you make in the projection, alter the course that this future will take.

Such an action would therefore appear to happen twice – once in your present, and once in your future, you see.  But in the future you would be the one whose course is altered by this traveling self from the past.

Let us take an example.  You sleep.  While asleep you project yourself into the year 1972.  There you see yourself considering various courses of action.  For a moment you are aware of a sense of duality as you look at this older self.  You say you should do this or that, give a definite decision, you see.  This may happen in several ways.  We will go into this sort of thing more deeply in another session.

In any case this future self of yours heeds what you say.  Now, in the actual future you are the self who one way or another, you see, hears the voice of his past self.  Perhaps in a dream, or perhaps in a projection, made into the past.

Before our break, I will leave you with a few questions.  Was there something your future self had forgotten?  Did the future self request information, and did this request cause the present self, you see, to make an actual and legitimate projection into the future?
