​The Force Isn't what You Think!

It's been said that some of the most powerful people create their own destiny. The more someone trains themselves in the ways of the Force, the more they can do things the way they want to do them - rather than having their life dictated to them by the people around them! The Jedi are a warrior culture. We see this in our movies, comics, games and literature.

A young girl, in the movie, Star Wars, is seen sitting cross-legged in a hut in the woods. She wears a white robe and has a staff in the other hand. She is training with a young man. This young man is in the process of being trained by the Jedi in a similar manner. The scenes in Star Wars are a metaphor for how we can create our own destiny - we train with the Force to become better fighters. We become better Jedi, in time, and in turn become better human beings.

The Force is a metaphor for how we can empower ourselves in the ways we want to. It is an energy we can tap into to become the person we want to be - rather than be someone else's victim!

We need to train in the Force if we wish to become Force sensitive. In the movies, the people who are sensitive to the Force don't have the physical sensitivity, but rather the inner sensitivity. It is possible to be sensitive to the Force without physical sensitivity. For example, if you are compassionate, caring and have strong empathy, you may be more sensitive to the Force than someone who isn't. It is also possible to be compassionate and have other negative feelings. This is a good thing, when we are learning how to become better at ourselves!

Once we understand ourselves, we can understand the Force. With understanding of the Force, we can learn to empower ourselves in ways greater than we have empowered ourselves before. The Force gives us the opportunity to become the people we want, rather than victim to someone else's desire. We gain permission to be what we really want to be!

The more we train with the Force, the more we empower ourselves. Once we become stronger, resilient, courageous, resourceful, etc., etc., then we can empower other people in ways they desire us to be. With that empowerment, we gain a sense of empowerment and become unstoppable!

With training in the Force, we learn to see things that are not visible. This ability gives us the ability to see the Force when others don't, or when others cannot see it. When you understand that you are a conduit for the Force, and understand that your own experiences become part of your Force in a sense, you can take responsibility for the Force when you make a decision or do something. And you can take responsibility for others when they make a decision or do something. The Force always pulls in the same direction, no matter what you do!
