Force Theory II

[Alena]

Ok, so we know that the Force is literaly everything we see. What now? is there any more to it? the answere is yes, there is a great deal more. Since everything in the universe is conected, and (depending on your point of view) one and the same, everything that happens effects everything else that happens. By learning to slow down, and to be in the present, we are able to feel this 'oneness' or conection to the Force. Remember that we said everything is made up of the Force, so in feeling the Force, you Feel the things around you as well. BTW, this is where the concept of control, sense, and alter comes in. You must first be able to control yourself in order to control other things. Then, you must be able to sense, or to feel, the Force in yourself and then your surroundings and then the way it flows, and only after learning to control and sense can you then push the barrier and begin to alter. You must prepare the groundwork and lay the foundation for the Force to work in, with, and through you. There is immense power and wisdom to be found when contemplating with the Force. After years of Meditation, the Force changes to those who use it and are consistant with their training. Instead of being some foreign entity, some great yet unfathomable mass, it becomes somthing more dear and precious, just like a friend, one that can be confided in, trusted, and unconditionaly loved. Once a person reaches that stage, they are truly, and undoubtably, at one with themselves and their surroundings, and the Force. With the Force, they can accomplish anything.

So, your chanlenge, should you choose to accept it, is to slow down, be present, and make that connection with the Force a little closer, somthing a little more important, in your life this week. Learn to love the Force. How? I bet some of you are wondering this. Love everything, inspite of its shortcomings, its anoyances, its illogical nature, in spite of everything... Love your neigbors, and love your enimies , even if they are commiting crimes against you. Love the way things are, even if you dont agree with them, love all... then, and only then, will you know what it means to have rest in the Force, to be at one with it.

slow down...be present...

Recently I've found out that if I focus on this very moment, I do it just like if you take a photo, I connect closer to the Force. I'm somewhere in the park and look at people around and the trees etc. and I'm focusing on this very moment and 'slowing the motion of the world down' to just stop it and concentrate on that one 'image' or moment... This really helps me

i do not see it as a matter of being present, but more as a matter of being and that on a more essential level than most people live. be and be not at the same time, move beyond that which we conceptualize as being, conceptualization hinders you, there only is, and in that place between being and not being is the force
