Evidence

Vitalogia could also be the expression of a permanent “Vital Force” in such a way that, in a hierarchy of values, it proceeds until the subject realises itself in God (as Creator). … Therefore, one can say that every form of thought has its foundation in Life, which is the “One” and always “unique” reality that conserves its identity in every moment of the process of becoming of the beings and, therefore, in its multiple manifestations. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 241
