Mechanical force is known to us only as a feeling of resistance: and pressing and pushing are only palpable interpretations of this, not explanations.
What is the nature of the coercion that a stronger soul exerts upon a weaker one? — And it would be possible that what seemed to be ‘disobedience’ to the higher soul actually arose from a failure to understand its will, e.g., a rock cannot be commanded. But — the differentiation of degree and rank must be gradual: only the closest relatives can understand each other, and consequently it’s here that there can be obedience.
Might it be possible to view all movements as signs of psychological happenings? Natural science as a symptomatology —
