"... he never knew I was there. I never knew I was there, either. For that forty minutes last night I was purely sensitive and mute as a photographic plate; I received impressions, but I did not print out captions. My own self awareness had disappeared; it seems now almost as though, had I been wired with electrodes, my EEG would have been flat."
