In order to not infer tone over text where none may exist, I find it useful to read it with a smile
Maybe I'm not seeing the smile I guess. I mean we start to really make some good understandings and he has to come in here with his two cents and just ruin it! frustrating!!

You are acting like a child. If you want to be treated like an adult, please start acting like one.

I dont think its an act! Im wondering if maybe we should start thinking of ourselves as models/examples of how adults ought to deal with children over the internet.
People are complicated.

What I see in this thread is different forms of attachment. Actually, I’m considering a further edit to the Principles of Jediism I proposed because of it- the current incarnation reads:
“A Jedi is wary of attachments, both material and personal, recognizing that such lead to emotional entrapment.”
But it may be more appropriate to make the statement a bit more broad and strike “both material and personal” so that it reads:
“ A Jedi is wary of attachments, recognizing that such lead to emotional entrapment.”
The kinds of attachment present are less obvious. The attachment is in the form of approach for each person involved in the on-going discussion. I have to admit, in many ways this thread has caused me to see a line of attachment I have illustrated in approach in years past. Not just here at ToTJO, but also on Facebook groups. At some point the conversation must end or change to get anywhere.
We don’t just do this for ourselves though, it can also be for the people which we are engaged in verbal conflict, to give them time to consider what has been said. They may never return to it, they may never end up thanking their opponent if they do take the advice later...the point isn’t to receive something from the exchange, but rather that the opportunity for both/all parties to reflect is given regardless of whether or not it is taken.
I think that’s the point this thread has reached. Though, I will not at all, pretend that by simply pointing it out, others will agreed that they have reached their last word...afterall, I’m not entirely sure myself if I would feel that way were I as involved as some of you are.

I am not a teacher yet from someone who has found a reality in some of these theories i can elaborate a bit more. On telekinesis the ability to move objects i have not met anyone who can do that nor know of that existence. I did however meditate with a rock on hardwood floor having some realizations as i mediated.
I can see entities and feel them which is a power or gift that some people have which meditating helps with that as well. What besides telekinesis are you interested in for to a certain extend you can use force manipulation against someone. Also astral projection and manifesting your hand around someones throat is always fun as a joke may i clarify. I had asked a friends consent of course and he felt it so there is some reality to some of those things.
I would recommend checking out the threads as others have said and the ip work is a good start for completing those will help further you for the mentor part. Take your time and i hope you enjoy your journey as you connect with the force which i believe in due time grows to a personal level. Which then you may be able to understand yourself and the right teacher will come when they are meant to for i see a good future for you.
May the force guide you

I think it's very possible. Certain spiritual texts mention said powers, although I think some may have happened while others may have been exaggerated, it's hard to tell. I am sure there are people that know this power. It's hard to tell as some are faking it while the real ones hide much like how there are fake psychics, but there are also real psychics too and when one sees a fake, they assume that everyone who claims such powers are frauds.
