Movement, consciousness and life are identical. Everything is "life substances"
821. This scintillating radiance, which therefore constitutes our entire life, our manifestation, our own creation, as well as the experience of other beings' or the Godhead's creation, consists solely of "movement". Wherever this "movement" meets an I, it becomes experience. Experience is, in turn, the same as consciousness. But as "movement" cannot exist without representing such a meeting, "movement" and "consciousness" will be identical. But as "consciousness" is the same as "life", "movement" and "life" will also be identical. Every form of movement – whether it be the whirring wheels of a machine, a clap of thunder, a gushing waterfall, or whether it be types of oscillation or vibration that are so microscopic that we do not see them as movement but on the contrary as solid substance, as crystal, granite, gold, platinum and so on – cannot therefore exist without being identical to life. Every movement, whether it be solid, liquid or gaseous, constitutes the material of which consciousness or life itself consists. Everything constitutes "life substances".
