So, how much of the Star W ars’ hu

George Lucas know it?
Artists like Lucas frequently an- ahead
of scientists in uncovering the realities of
the universe. Remember the 1870’s book
Around the World in Eighty Days; Jules
Verne’s imagined balloon voyage finally
happened this year in less than one-fourth
his predicted time. The question is now
whether such artists know something
ahead of other humans, but why and how.
T he S tar W ars’ concept o f “Je d i
knowing’ is rooted in the reality of the
U niversal Field o f C onscio u sn ess.
Through their inner senses, the Jed i (
and all other conscious beings) commu
nicate with each other and the whole
through this informational field. (When
Jedi sense other beings, the reciprocal
nature of consciousness means if those
beings were alert they could sense the
Jedi in return.) T he Star W'ars’ subtle
energy “force” that “surrounds and pen
etrates us and binds us together” is real
and can be concentrated and used in
martial arts and psychokinetic acts.
This “force” is known around the
world by at least 52 labels, including chi,
ki, prana, oigone, manna, ether, biofield,
and zero-point energy.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi was incorrect when
he said the “force” is created by all living
beings. The reverse appears to be true:
Matter and energy are formed from the
subtle energy by conscious intent. Science
labels the intermediate or subtle body
created by conscious intent a morpho-
genic field (like the ghostly beings who
counsel Luke). It is correct for Master
Yoda to sav “the force is always with you,"
even though it cannot m aintain one’s
