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.)
