"Even if you are returning the serve of an average player, you will have only about one second. Just to hit the ball is clearly a remarkable feat; to return it with consistency and accuracy is a mind-boggling achievement. Yet it is not uncommon. 

The truth is that everyone who inhabits a human body possesses a remarkable instrument.

In the light of this, it seems inappropriate to call our bodies derogatory names. Self 2– that is, the physical body, including the brain, memory bank (conscious and unconscious) and the nervous system– is a tremendously sophisticated and competent collection of potentialities. Inherent within it is an inner intelligence which is staggering.

What it doesn't already know, this inner intelligence learns with childlike ease. It uses billions of cells and neurological communication circuits in every action. No computer yet made can come close to performing the complex physical actions accomplished by even a beginning tennis player, much less a professional. 

The foregoing has only one purpose: the encourage the reader to respect Self 2. This amazing instrument is what we have the effrontery to call 'uncoordinated.'"
