The Living Force

You may have heard these words spoken recently: "Be aware of the living Force". Confusing, yes? While the Force is the power within all of us, and is what guides us day to day, you must not forget the living Force. No, there are not two seperate "Forces". This is merely a way to better explain it.

Life is all around us. The trees, the birds, the river. They are all connected to one another, and to you. You must open yourself to them, and feel life around you. Some time, go outside and look at a tree. Close your eyes and become aware of the tree. Feel it swaying in the wind and listen to its sounds. Open your eyes. Look at the tree. What does it remind you of? If you like, contact me and tell me when you've done this.

Many think that humans are superior to nature. Do you believe this? Has the thunder ever frightened you when it was close? Have you heard stories of the terror people feel during an earthquake? Have you experienced it yourself? If you have, you understand what it is to be humble.

Never forget the living Force. If you do not rise above it, then you will be one with it.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future." Qui-Gon Jinn: "But not at the expense of the present. Be mindful of the living Force, my young Padawan."

That is the key. HERE and NOW.
