The breath of life - What this could mean

I see a continuing motif of the "breath of life" in the SD and various
other places. In the beginning of the Secret Doctrine vol.1 H.P.B
compares the physical instance of the universe an exhaling of sorts,
and the disintegration of which is the inhaling. However each instance
of it is unique and a part of the continuous cycle of existence.
Now the way I see it, is that motion is necessary to prevent not only
stagnation, but non-existence as well. If you were to visualize for a
minute, that we are all in motion, possibly millions of times the
speed of light (which is arguably possible), and that the only thing
holding us together is from the kinetic energy from the particles of
surrounding matter. That would mean as we were "exhaled" the matter
would form from the motion of particles, and they would stick together
from gravitational attraction (which would not be possible without the
motion). Then, as the particles lose energy, they no longer exhibit
the same properties. Everything would begin to lose shape as the
universe disintegrates. The particles that created our universe
separate, forming an amorphous mass of energy that exhibit no physical
properties other than motion (if even that). This would be comparative
to the "inhalation".
Quite possibly the only thing holding the physical world together is
the continuous motion of matter and energy, which was all invariably
created by smaller particles bound together by their own movement.
Any thoughts on this?
...You must excuse me, I stay up at 1 in the morning and I come up
with stuff like this.
