A question of The Force.

Have you witnessed an act of The Force?
If so, tell us about it. Did it act through you?
I may be just a novice here. Even though I've "unofficially" started the Initiate Program.. but I've seen "God" act through its "agents", those sudden sparks of inspiration, in my life and others. I also was lead to study certain occultic and metaphysical practices due to those experiences.
I believe the Truth belongs to no-one and everyone. That it is meant for us to find. The simplest version of it now is "The Force". Mainly because our minds have shifted from the superstitious to the scientific. Instead of seeing beings, we see "thought-forms", forces of a type of energy. The origin of which is The Force itself. If we were to take certain scriptures to heart. This Root of Reality, The Force, is pure light "undefiled". Which emanates out to form the other layers.
The Unifying Light, or Father/God.. to..
The Living Light, or Mother/Holy Spirit.. to..
The Personal Light, or Son/Seed in Creation..
Also, Darkness would be something different entirely. Something that exists, if you call it existence, outside of The Force.. Which is where I think George Lucas was trying to take it. Which I believe is uniquely "Abrahamic" view of The Force.

Like in the movies? Pushing and pulling things, lifting things, mind tricking, choking, and casting lightning at people? I know of no one that can do such things. Would be nice, but a bit separated from reality.
Doesn't mean you can't use it, though. I'm always using it. To breathe, to see, to hear, to feel, to walk, to laugh, to dance, to care, to love, and to think.
How? The same way anyone else does, I just see it differently, as all interconnected through the Force. My laughter is because I was once broken, my tears because I was once happy. Like ripples on a pond, made by a small stone thrown into it.
So how does what is happening to me be me using the Force? I use it, these experiences, to better understand myself and grow from it, to become a better instrument for the Force (being, imo, the energy of all living things) and to become better at being of service to said Force.

Theoretically? Anything can be theoretical. I, theoretically, could metamorphis into a dragon after I die. The difference is what is real and what is not and learning to focus on what is, the present moment and the concequences of actions in that moment that should drive us rather than wondering if mildly amusing abilities would be beneficial to a Jedi training.
As said by Luke, 'the Force does not belong to the Jedi', and as such the Jedi can exist without using this Force. If anything, the Jedi belong to the Force,
being part of it even if unknowingly and/or unwillingly (as all living things are). We don't need to learn to move things with our minds because we can move hearts and minds with well placed words, deeds, and by being the example.

You would have little to back up that theory lol..
What I'm talking about is a real scientific approach to the way The Force works..
Theoretically, someone could use their aura to gather an electrical charge and cast it out. Since it can affect electromagnetic energy. It's not too far of a stretch. I think Energy Work and Social Work go hand in hand for us.. I wouldn't think that they're separate paths but part of the same walk..

The problem with your "theory" is that you cant approach something scientifically when you are trying to work with a "force" that science has never been able to detect. Step one in this would to actually provide scientific evidence of its existence before one can go about harnessing it.
