Interesting quote from another current thread I thought may be of interest to you:
"For some reason the fact that we are able to make our bodies move by sheer force of our will strikes us as unremarkable" - apophenia
So here in this example it is said that the prime mover is will. Without the command of consciousness, voluntary movement is not possible.

Consciousness is thought right? Thought is produced by electrical activity, which is in turn invoked by physical stimuli.
Consciousness might be the idea in religious belief of the human soul. Transcendence an attempt to describe the perceived superiority of the human brain.
Or is thought primary? In the physical realm I'm still in agreement with you, that extant forces are primary. But we can't apply that logic to God, because God would be necessarily more than this reality to have created it.
