Intrinsically linked

Awaiting retrieval"Derick Burke at Journeytime
Intrinsically - With respect to its inherent nature. Intrinsic - inseparable from the thing itself, essential, being part of a whole.
Based on the Latin word "intrinsecus" meaning "on the inside" or "inwardly".
An interesting word, I think. I came to think of the Force in Star Wars. It could be described as intrinsically linked to the whole Universe.
What could also be intrinsically linked? The body to the soul?
It does not feel like a word you use to describe something that are man-made. Or is this because of the place I read it?

Thank you for your kind words.
I usually use the word "intrinsic" when I teach my students. Ifte, I would tell them that they should develop that "intrinsic motivation" to write. :)
That was a very pleasant use of the word.
