Now they are like time capsules, cutting down stimuli for certain intervals, and then injecting stimulants as destination points are reached. The process is highly involved. The injections are made into the physical being, affecting therefore the physical brain. Consciousness projects in an out of body experience. The physical brain is cushioned against shock because in this case consciousness travels at such a fast pace that ordinarily contact between it and the body would be severed.

Certain injections, given to the brain, actually help consciousness outside of the brain, and act as nourishment. This is simply one way that is being used however. You may take your break and we shall continue.

Now. The drug allows for regulated periods of highly intensified consciousness, operating at peak levels, with all of the mental faculties accelerated. Between these periods however there are periods of unconsciousness. These are of a protective nature. During the periods of unconsciousness the drugs injected into the brain give increased nourishment to those areas of the physical brain that are involved in such ejections of consciousness. Therefore even though your probable self is within reaching distance, so to speak, he is sometimes involved in such blackout-nourishment periods.

In your time the periods of high conscious activity would run approximately for three days, followed by a day and a half to four days of inactivity, according to the circumstances. This involves a transfer of conscious energy from a home system to an alien one, and certain more or less automatic changes must be made from system to system, involving the use of brain waves; certain patterns being normal in different systems. There are other brain patterns for example than those discovered by your scientists. The brain patterns simply reflect the kind of mental or psychic activity, and other kinds of activity will give you different patterns.

The drugs also help in changing the patterns when it is necessary. If the brain patterns were not changed on entering and leaving a system, then theoretically at least the consciousness could become trapped within any given system. Acceleration or de-acceleration, you see, but mentally. (Decelaration.)

The drugs also insure that consciousness will not come back to the physical brain too quickly, to shock the system. There are methods by which the relative behavior and condition of the travelling consciousness is monitored at the other end. In case of any severe dangers the consciousness will be pulled back, but this is highly dangerous.
