+As noted earlier, when the bio-survival circuit flashes danger, *all other mental activity ceases*.
+
+There is no "time" on the bio-survival circuit; reflexes act without emotional ego, rational mind or adult personality participating: "I just found myself doing it."
+
+All the martial arts—judo, akido, kung fu, etc.—are reimprinting techniques for the bio-survival circuit. They are intended to ensure that what happens mechanically ("without thought") really does serve bio-survival, since the reflexes imprinted accidentally on this circuit are not that dependable.
+
+The mechanical nature of the bio-survival circuit is of key importance in brainwashing. *To create a new imprint, reduce the victim to an infantile state, i.e., first-circuit vulnerability.*
