MOVEMENT IS ACTIVE FORM, AND CAUSE OF OTHER FORMS.

We are therefore justified in calling movement "an active form that

is aroused," by opposition to the other forms which remain inactive.

(They may be so named), whether or not they be permanent. We may add

that it is "the cause of the other forms," when it results in producing

something else. This (sense-) movement may also be called the "life of

bodies." I say "this movement," because it bears the same name as the

movements of the intelligence, and those of the soul.
