"For every thought supported by feeling, there is a muscle change. Primary muscle patterns being the biological heritage of man, man's whole body records his emotional thinking. (...) For every stimulus there is a motor response. (...) The correlation of visceral, psychic and peripheral stimuli, underlying muscular response, involves the whole body (...).
(...)
The nervous system is an organization of millions of highly specialized cells, which together perform for the whole body the functions which keep a single-celled creature a responding unit: an ameba, as James Feiring Williams points out, shows among others, the essential qualities of excitability, conductivity and integration. Thus, "if a needle pricks the ameba, it is excited, the stimulus is conducted throughout the cell, and the protoplasm shows an integrated action by withdrawing from the offending needle." *
(...)
Every sensation from the outside world, every activity and thought within, causes a change (and a response) somewhere in the organism."
