The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: that moves me and the doing of the thing seem simultaneous;
for if my mind goes through the tedious formality of reasoning,
it must be a subconscious act of which I am not objectively aware.
Psychologists tell me that, as the subconscious does not reason,
too close a scrutiny of my mental activities might prove anything
but flattering; but be that as it may, I have often won success
while the thinker would have been still at the endless task of
comparing various judgments.
And now celerity of action was the prime essential to the
success of the thing that I had decided upon.
