“People think athleticism is just physical, but it's not. It's connected to the brain and how the brain can learn to execute and see a movement or not. Especially at high speed. Being athletic is not just jumping and running and being powerful. It's the nervous system that guides the body. The muscles don't decide anything. The brain decides and makes things happen.” PeopleThinkingBodyHappensRunningPowerfulBrainMovementConnectedSpeedGuidesThings HappenNervousMusclesMmaJumpingAthleticNervous SystemMake Things HappenHigh SpeedAthleticism Author:Georges St-Pierre
“The text moves like a small crustacean with compound eye and complex nervous system; throbbing, involuted, it becomes a parasite on a different body, animal, using ‘filiform protrusions through which it sucks the vital juices of its host.’ Parasite or creature in mutation on the shore, torrid / delirium: mordant mortality, systematic competition the narrator against the I, leaking gas, a lapse of memory against a promise, an inset in a book.

“The evening was very professionally organized, and most of the people were exceptionally polite, although it did make me a little nervous when one church official told me after the debate when a big crowd of people surrounded me that he had assigned me a body guard "just in case." Just in case what? I thought Christians were suppose to be exceptionally tolerant. Well, in any case, I guess I was grateful for the gesture, "just in case."” PeopleWellsLittlesBodyBigsChristianChurchCasesAtheismGratefulCrowdsDebateNervousEveningOfficialsOrganizedGesturesPolite Author:Michael Shermer
“There are three types of disease: body disease, mind disease, and nervous system disease. When the mind is diseased, the whole body is diseased. The yoga scriptures say “Manayeva manu ā ā kara a bandha mok ayo (this verse may be transliterated incorrectly),” the mind is the cause of both bondage and liberation. If the mind is sick and sad, the whole body gets sick, and all is finished. So first you must give medicine to the mind. Mind medicine: that is yoga.” IfsGivingMindFirstsMayWholeBodyThreeCausesTypeDiseaseYogaSickMedicineFinishedScriptureNervousLiberationVersesBondageNervous SystemDiseased Author:K. Pattabhi Jois
“I am persuaded that we are all surrounded by an atmosphere - a separate, sensitive, distinct envelope extending some distance from our visible persons - and whenever my invisible atmosphere is invaded, it affects my whole nervous system.
