different kinds of force are a unit in the Creator. When force descends from the Creator through the successive degrees in creation and becomes operative on various planes, different kinds of force appear, the kinds being the varied potencies of one Divine Force. All forms of force are therefore spiritual in their origin.

Force being received according to the degree and structure of the receiving form, there appear the forces of affection, of thought, of the muscles and bodily organs, of animal instinct, of plant life, of gravity, electricity, attraction, and the like. These forces being derived from one supreme Force, and the lower of them from the next higher, are so interrelated, one appearing as another, that it may be well to consider their relation in a general way.
