The Force: What Is It?

So what is this Force, you may ask? 

And, how does it manage to have so much control over us?

Further, how can I use this Force in me might be another question that comes to mind.

So let our conversation on this topic begin here, expecting it to continue, at least, until there is no more.

Till infinity, perhaps? 

That is, indeed, what might be expected of "the adventure of a lifetime," right?

For starters –

By now most of us know that Luke Skywalker of Star Wars, mentored by Obi Wan Kenobi, was reaching for “IT. The Force, of course, is IT!

Okay, you get that. But do you realize that Darth Vadar also was carrying the Force with him?

Obi Wan embodied the Light side of the Force. Darth Vadar the Dark.

Both were of the Force!

But exactly what is the Force?

And, how does one develop mastery in using the Force for the Highest Good?

Energies are the Source of the Force, we surmise. Yet in actuality the mechanics of the Force are far more specific, as well as complex, than can be explained away simply as mere energies. 

How the human brain/mind system works in this regard; the creation of a Force that operates for good or evil, while scientifically-based also goes far beyond that into the realm of the mystical.  So we might say that understanding the Force demands "a marriage of both science and mysticism."

Truly any questions in this regard can be answered only with imprecise responses. And, answered to satisfaction only over time, to be known only with disciplined practice and experience and applied well, only with artful Mastery. At its pinnacle the art brings us to becoming One with the Force.  Thus we come to know, "not about it, but IT!"

We will do our best with this blog site to help you make IT known, understood, developed and aptly applied. How much we are able to succeed at this here will be as much up to your efforts as to ours.

Lesson #1: Introducing The Force

The Force Described

The Force, too often misunderstood and unacknowledged, is the source of the personality’s mysterious capability to create or destroy. It draws its strength from the personality’s most powerful biological influence – your primitive survival instinct, affording you the capacity to either reach the highest levels of consciousness, health, compassion and spirituality – or to self-destruct.
