Force is manifested by motion in matter; all matter has motion, therefore there is universal life in all matter.
This is a principle deprived from, and really belonging to No.2. Life is necessarily the union of intelligence and matter. Intelligence is an entity, Matter is an entity. The character of matter when intelligence is present, is what we call life. It is made known to us by matter expressing force which intelligence creates. "Life is manifested by vibrations, according to degree." Molecules have vibrations- manifesting force. Tissue cells have vibrations- a greater degree of life, manifesting force. Bodies of "animate" things have more movement (from within); still more life. It requires intelligent creative forces to cause such movements. Therefore, an organism, with signs of life, has more intelligence united with it than the molecule. The vibrations of molecules and atoms are manifestations of universal life. Our ability to perceive life is exactly proportional to our ability to recognize Universal Intelligence all about us. Every structure of matter from a lump of clay to the tiger has intelligence in it, exactly proportional to its state of organization. The higher the grade of structure, the higher the grade of intelligence present, to make it and keep it that way.
"Degree" in Chiropractic terminology is taken to mean "degree of perfection"; therefore, it involves quality as well as quantity.
