True, no one exactly does it consciously; but everyone is affected by The Force (whether they choose to acknowledge that effect, there it is).
The Force Lays-Out the Fabric in the Pattern of The King
I especially thought of Aaron Stimpson, because he has probably come closest to "trying to teach me" The Force.
The first thing that comes to mind is our naming of The Force. It was just a regular night, we were having a
Mars Hill meeting at
Sauced. One of the tables--for some reason--was situated at a 25-to-30°-angle, with a glass sitting on it. Noticing that the glass might slide down, I held out my hand to catch it before it fell off the table. The glass slid into my hand, and Aaron smiled and said, "Using
The Force, J?"
Not wanting to seem like some sort of mystic guru (and since Aaron's an "engineer"), I replied, "Well, gravity—sure!"; so--in a manner of speaking--I
was 'using The Force.' And there we "named" (knew by mentioning) The Force
However--I realize upon further reflection--'gravity' is not The
entire Force. No, The Entire Force is "How Things Fall"--and that is most-admittedly an over-simplification of The Force (for purposes of generalization ... just like we call our creator "God," though
she is really many-many-many-more things than just a "Huge Spirit who Loves Us or something").
The 'more-important right now'-definition is 'Using The Force.' I'll spare you all the enlightenment involved (although it's probably not possible to use The Force without Luminesence), and tell you that 'using The Force' is the multi-part process of knowing 'How Things Fall' and placing yourself in the position made opportune thereby.
