3654. It took Alexis almost a full minute to recover from the
blow, and even when he realized what had happened he could not quite believe it
because it was so unexpected. As he regained his balance he could see clearly
that his opponent had every intention of striking him again, since he was
dancing before him, back and forth, with his fists forming small circles in the
air.
3655. If you had asked Alexis what happened next, he could not
have told you because he did not really know. One has to admit that ones body
knows a great many things of which we are entirely ignorant. Our organs go
about their business and never consult our conscious mind for direction or
advice. The liver, the spleen, and the kidneys know just what to do all day and
night, and even seem to have back up plans in place for emergency situations.
3656. It should not surprise anyone to hear that the body knows
how to protect itself from an adversary, and will do so without the delay and
inconvenience of consulting the conscious mind for directions and advice.
3657. As a matter of fact, when such consultation and advice is sought,
it is almost always of no use, and even interferes with the smooth operations
of ones instinctive defense
mechanisms that are inherent in people in the same degree as in any crocodile.
