—at the unconscious level—to create an "authentic" conversation. This theory received a setback when a number of such communications brought out data known only to the second party. Still another difficulty of Locale one travel lies in the time factor. Inconveniently, the best periods for deep relaxation so necessary to create the Second State occur late at night. Therefore, it is quite natural to take advantage of such instances when possible. Less effort is required, and the separation is much more rapid. However, the physiological and psychological conditions that help induce the state are unpredictable and not known fully. This inconsistency brought numerous occasions when experimentation for purely evidential data ended in failure. The person to be visited was performing no reportable act other than lying in bed sound asleep. These were discounted completely as evidence. Most people perform this "act" every night. Similarly, attempts at validation during daylight hours brought their share of complications. With no promise of "contact" at a specific minute or hour, most people involved went about their normal affairs. Thus when such "visits" were made, they were not necessarily discovered in a unique or unusual act or condition. As a result, the small, normally inconsequential acts observed during these visits often were but vague memories to the contactee when confirmation was needed. We have a great tendency to forget details of routine actions in life. You can prove this to yourself. Simply attempt to recall precisely in detail what you were doing at, say, three twenty-three yesterday afternoon. If it was a routine task, chances are you will remember only the doing, if that much, Exact details will escape you. Yet the experimentation in visiting Locale one is extremely important, perhaps at the moment more so than anything else to be attempted. For only through evidential visits in Locale one can sufficient evidential data on the Second Body and the Second State be obtained. Sufficient, that is, to bring about serious study by authoritative scientific groups of our time. Only through such concentrated and extensive study can a breakthrough of a revolutionary nature be obtained as regards the Second Body, and applied to the basic knowledge of man. Anything less, and it will remain an unsolved enigma at best, and at worst a ridiculed and unacceptable fantasy to both philosopher and scientist. For this reason, the recurring theme in the reports of experiments is: Get evidential data. Here, then, is a later experiment in Locale one performed in the EEG laboratory of a hospital on a major university campus.
