thanks for bringing the clip to my attention - I think I have seen another part on the series about how water crystals were shaped differently according to how they were verbally treated
As to whether matter is animate or not i think matter reciprocates with consciousness - just as this body is dull matter, yet animated by our soul, we have the ability to also influence other matter as well, but I think that just as our consciousness bears an influence, god's consciousness, being superior bears more of an influence - in other words we may be desiring something but god's desire is stronger (since he has the greater consciousness) and just as we may be able to bear influence on particles, god can bear influence on us
