Who is that quote from?

I like it

It's from Frank Herbert's Dune.

I like Rickson's take on this. He said that he is always afraid and anyone that isn't is either lying or too stupid to realize it (paraphrasing). The trick is to control the fear and make it energize you

lol. fraidy cat.

Mushin strikes me as strikingly similar to the modern "Zone" or "Flow" that is experienced by elite athletes in all sports.

If I had to guess I'd say it was the shutting down of the conscious and allowing the subconscious to take control.

The subconscious can process information much faster and thus can react faster allowing an athlete to perform at a "superhuman" level.
