What is THE FORCE?

Question

and how can you be sure it will be with you always?

Answer 1

The force is lifeforce energy. It has been discovered all over the world. and Kokopeli gave a pretty good list of names. except the Hebews called it chia.

Ruah or Ruach was the conscious mind.

Here are some more names. The Chinese call it ch'i. Japanese call it Ki, Cherokee indians call it nuwati, osage indians call it manitou, Hawaiians called it mana when used by the subconscious mind, mana mana when used by the conscious mind, and mana loa when used bt the high self, god self, or 'aumakua.

About the force always being with you; the answer is NO.

Applied Kinesieology shows when you tell a lie; the body goes weak temporarily the force has left temporarily, and when we die the force leaves us.

If you treat that force with respect it will stay around and rejuvinate you, and keep you healthy.

I am 52 years old, and I was taught about this energy when I was 19 and leading Qigong, and people assume I am in my early 30s.

A have a friend that does yoga, and he is around 77 years old, and he doesn't look a day over 50..

There are lots of ways to tap into that force, and take your pick. All of them work.

prayer, meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, Hawai'ian mysticism (that I practise), Zen, etc.

The Hawai'ians did not even have a word for religion. a lot of people think it was ho'omana. Ho'omana in English means "To Make Mana" Generating lifeforce energy was the most important thing in their lives.

the force produced by a magnetic field involves an understanding of the way in which the energy represented by the field changes. To derive an expression for the field energy  look at the behaviour of the field within a simple toroidal inductor.; equate the field energy to the electrical energy needed to establish the coil current. Take an initially uniform magnetic field in free space and introduce into it an iron sphere. The flux lines will bend in the vicinity of the iron so that they will converge upon it. Inside the iron the lines will be quite concentrated (though parallel to the original field).

Answer 4

Like the little green dude said:

"A powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."
