(“Pills to Help Us Remember”, by Isaac Asimov. The New York Times Magazine, October 9,1966.)

There was some question in the article about long-term and short-term memory. Now basically the original intensity of the charge determines its duration in your time structure. The intensity of particular charges can completely reorganize the personality structure through changes in the RNA formations. (Long pause at 9:10.) Previous life memories, existing electronically and magnetically, may carry such intense charge that they superimpose themselves in the present physical structure, and form memory patterns quite alien to those of the present ego personality.

This would imply short-term memory you see, but this is not the case, for it is intensity and not duration that makes the difference. Once the symptoms become physical however, then they follow physical patterns, and it takes the physical system some time to heal usually, (underlined). In terms of intensity alone, both the foot and the hip symptoms were highly charged, representing of course degrees of immobility and withdrawal—learned, you see, from the mother: a memory reaction adopted without conscious thought.

Every personality operates in this manner. These are simply his peculiar psychological necessities. This obviously does not mean he need never take time out. It does mean that his overall identity will not stand for a protracted period when concentration is not primarily focused within this work framework.
