1. life is going along a certain course impelled by a purpose and some place to arrive. It consists mostly of removing the barriers in the channel, holding the edges firm, ignoring the distractions, and reinforcing and reimpelling one's progress along the channel. That's life. (SH Spec 57, 6504CO6)

2. (understanding), when we say "Life" we mean understanding, and when we say "understanding" we mean affinity, reality and communication. To understand all would be to live at the highest level of potential action and ability. Because life is understanding it attempts to understand. When it faces the incomprehensible it feels balked and baffled. (Dn 55.!, p. 36)
