Experiences with the Force

[Alena]

What was your first experience or realization with the Force? Was it experiential, intellectual? Did it just "make sense"?

It started out with at first "making sense" then when I learned how to do various psychic abilities I began having experiences where I could genuinely FEEL the Force. And after I learned how to see auras I saw energy connections around everything--rocks, trees, people.

My connection with the Force had been with me since my birth, this is true for everyone.

I was raised and taught that my abilites(empathatic and aura seeing and I think a little psychic) were wrong and I shouldn't get myself involved with them. However, when I utilized them usually subconcsiously, I would be gawked at.

In any case, I then took my own initiative and found the Force to be able to help me with some of my abilites. Right now, when I meditate, the Force is strong in my hands, but I have been able to keep a sphere of energy around me and begin to manipulate it ever so slightly.

So my connection in the Force is growing and I can't wait to hear everyone else's stories....

My first experience was one which I was raised with. You see, my mother is blind, so in the evenings there are usually no lights on in the house. I was raised like this and was able to "feel" the room as I entered it. I just chalked it up to knowing the environment. Then, during a very bad storm in school, the power was cut and the backup lights didn't work. I was able to get up from my desk, walk through three seperate rooms, and into the janitors closet to retrieve a flashlight. I could feel where people were and even how paniced they were.

I would like to say that it went uphill from there, but it did not. At the time I was an angry youth. I had given into my darker urges and began honing my gifts for personal pursuit of pleasure and selfishness. It was not until I hurt someone very close to myself that I turned from those evil ways. I have never looked back since.

Now, I can feel the emotion of a person, group or even a room (psychic fingerprint of emotions whether it is occupied or not). Using my gifts, I can influence those emotions. It is especially helpful during tests as the ambient anxiety drives me nuts!

Beyond that, I can help to heal and sooth using a combintion of Shiatsu and the calming through my hands. Physical contact is a great deal better than simple ambient feeling. To that degree I can also feel old wounds and pains which are hidden from the outside within people.

Talking to people, I can influence their emotions to heal and sooth old wounds and to an extent can een tell when they are lying to me. It may sound more empathic, but it is just an ability I consider to be the Force.

There are more within me, but these are the ones which are the most prevalent and conscious-minded (i.e. actually controllable).

My "awakening" came around 3rd grade when I realized how I was understanding my friends better than they knew themselves. It was a very heady thing to realize, seeing how I could have manipulated them if I so chose because of being able to "see through them" as it were. Empathy is my dominant sort of gift (along with psychometry) so it was quite wild to be a kid and know how well I could make sense of people.

My awakenin came in bits and pieces untill I bought the house we live in. I began working with my oun energy because I had a thought or guidence that it could be done. Or It could have been because my memory of the first time I watched Star Wars in 1977 and heard the words "use the force Luke". Those words triggered a rush or surge of what I now know is energy which ran up my spine. I didn't know what to do then because there were no teachers to turn to. I guess a lot of what I know about working energy came in bits and pieces buy applying scientific theories to spiritual things and then them working. The house we live in has multiple earth energy lines in it and a major junction in it which I found after I became more sensative to energy. I told the realistate agent I wanted it right after I got inside the front door of this house. So I must have felt something then which told me I needed to buy this house. Now we do Energy Healing Work remotely with people all over the world.

My first time I felt things was subtle and I did not aknowledge it as any thing. I felt the friendlyness in all of nature. I could feel warm friendly feelings from animals, plants and even the rocks. But I was very young then so as I aged I blew it off as my imagianation.

The next time I felt the Force was the very conventional way, at a little meeting place in Sudberry Massachuetts. It was a place for teenagers to go for a mixture of entertainment and Bible study. It was run by the Baptists. It was Friday night on october6, 1978. I was an athiest at the time. The man quoted the famous verse from the Bible (John ch3 Vs16) For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who soever believes in Him has everlasting life. I felt something and I heard a voice say this is true. I became what was then called Born again. All was well and happy until, Ronald Wilson Reagan. I was a baptist then Reagan came and changed the face of christianity. From the religion of love and forgiveness it changed to a religion of Power and Money. The poor are out side the will of God and deserve judgement. Wealth became the measuring rod of weather you were saved or not.

I quit the church. At first i was angry just lashing out at any chance that presented itself. When my jets cooled. I went into politics only. I became a communist after reading all sorts of political idologies. I will leave my political sojern vague here since the thread is about Force encounters.

Newt Gingerich came then I was getting synical about politics. America was running as fast as possible to the extream right. This was a turn off since I was at the far left.

I then started to read other religions and practices. At first I was afraid that I would "Go to Hell" but I over came my fear because If the christians were so holy than why are they walking on the backs of the poor like Marie Antwanette. So I read anything from "Practical Magic" books to religious beliefs of many cultures. I eventually read my faverate book called "Morals and Dogma" by Albert Pike. To make a long story short I read as much as I possibly could get my hands on about other religions. Unfortunatly my life was devoid of that nice feeling I used to feel due to thr ravages of life.

A breath of fresh air came when Episode I came out. I got to re-meet Jesus in the form of Qui-Gon Jinn. Then Episode II came and I got to meet Anakin Skywalker. I had a psychic experiance whil watching the movie. Form then on I could easily feel anakin alot. He came to me when he wanted to. I never forced him. Anakin is Shiva creator sustainer. As Darth Vader he is Shiva the destroyer. This is an arch angel of God (the Force). I also met the top of the Keter thanks to EpisodeII. I met God the father in the form of Palpatine, his judgement form(Kaliyooga,Great tribulation ect.) EpisodeIII helped me go from creator sustainer to destroyer another judgement form of this archangel. Vader is the same archangel to kill the first born Egyptians in the book of Exodus. My best experiances with the Force came after the prequils. So if it were not for them, religion for me would only be from books except that small experiance in Sudberry Ma. I feel Anakin's and Darth Vader's feelings. We are one. To be united spiritually is to become one and therefore married. My husband i are one. Anakin/ Vader
Now I am religiously eglectic with the knowledge that all these cultures are speaking about the same God with differant names attached to them and differant ways of expressing their beliefs.

For me it seemed to just make sense. It was also combined with an experience. My Grandfather who was basically my father but lived a few states away died VERY suddenly of cancer. I was in sixth grade at the time and as soon as I heard he went to the hospital I already knew what happened because I could feel him all around me which I had never felt before. From that day on I knew there was something that connected all living things, I just didn't know the name of it until years later.

I did not know such a power existed but I was drawn to it even when I did not know what it was. It had a strong pull though and we eventually found each other. I was not blessed with any power priar to discovering this knowledge but it grew strong in me as I meditated and with each meditation I grew more wise. not to be arrogant of course but it had a profound effect with my views on the world. It changed me as it changes everyone who serves it.

My first experience with the powers of the force came when I was meditating and I searched through deep enough into my mind that I saw a glimpse or preminition into the future. It was in black and white and sure enough the same vision happened again in real life the next day. It was a little like de ja vu however it was during meditation and from then on I kept seeing glimpses and auras.
I knew then that the force was there and ever since tried everyday to block these visions out so that if I see one of loss I wont get attached to it. Fear of loss is a path to thedark side.

Thanks for reading

my first experience came around six years ago when i started having very realistic dreams. at first i thought nothing of them but a couple of weeks later i could swear that what i saw in my dream was really going on around me. I just thought it was deja vu or somthing like that but it kept going on and im positive that i could for see a possible future.

I even for saw my best friend getting ill in one of them and it came true but soon after he passed away and thats why turned to the darkside.

Can anybody else say they have had experiences like this??

My connection with the Force had been with me since my birth, this is true for everyone.

I was raised and taught that my abilites(empathatic and aura seeing and I think a little psychic) were wrong and I shouldn't get myself involved with them. However, when I utilized them usually subconcsiously, I would be gawked at.

I think that's pretty similar to my own experiences. I had experiences with what for lack of a better term I will call ghosts from a very young age. My parents didn't teach me that I was -wrong-, but they said that I'd grow into my real powers, but for the moment I was just making it up because I was jealous of them and -their- powers. (My mother has many force-like abilities, stemming mostly from being a pagan priestess.) From that point, I believed that I didn't have -any-, and that I was a little bit crazy. I had all sorts of experiences, but whenever I told my parents, I was told that I didn't have my powers yet and that I was making it up. Eventually...the experiences stopped. I got so used to the idea that I didn't have =real= powers yet, that anything I -did- experience I didn't put faith in...so much that I just stopped having -anything- happen. I haven't felt it much at all since--maybe one or two experiences that I can be certain of. I know it's there, but...it's disconnected from me at the moment, and I'd like to figure out how to mend the connection.
