“The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.”

“The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
