"The animal spirit is the power of all the senses, which is realized from the composition and mingling of elements; when this composition decomposes, the power also perishes and becomes annihilated." (Bwf 316) (38:7) "The vegetable spirit is the power of growth which is brought about in the seed through the influence of other existences." Thus "the plant has the power of existing and growing." (Bwf 316; Pt 25) (38:8) "Certain atoms are bound together by chemical affinity..." Where "there is the power of growth... that power of growth is the spirit." (Pup 300; Bwf 338) (38:9) "Minerals are endowed with a spirit and life according to the requirements of that stage." (Bwf 338)
