Can the Force Really Be with You?

By Al Case

Luke, there is a thing called The Force. Close Your Eyes and feel The Force, Luke. May the Force be with you always and forever!

Wow, something really neat, like an invisible ocean that surrounds you. And everything in the universe was built out of this ocean stuff! And, heck, if you train at the Jedi Academy...you can control the Force!

Well, now that we?ve completed the introduction to our first class in the Martial Arts, we can get down to the reality. Chi, or Ki, is an invisible ocean of subtle energy and everything in the universe is made of it. And, oh yeah, with practice you can learn to do what you want with it.

The difference, of course, between the movie and the reality is that one takes hard work, and the other one you get fat over popcorn. And, of course, the movie never comes true.

But, doggone! You got to spend half a twenty, and then rent it for a Lincoln and then see it on cable for a buck, then, finally, see it for free, uh, with a few dozen advertisements to break it up and editing so you don?t see the good stuff, and so on! The question, however, is when are you going to toss the fantasy and start doing the work and make that stuff you see in the movie come true?

So, they have these things called instructional courses that you can get on DVDs. To get into a field of study, such as Kenpo or Krav Maga or Ninjitsu or, the list goes on, and a DVD will cost you about as much as a movie. The difference, of course, is that you are paying for the movie every time you want to get nothing done for a few hours, and once you have the martial arts DVD there is no more cost, it?s like the difference between renting a car and owning a car.

Now comes the fun part of this whole thing, you actually get to do something. You are no longer holding down a couch eating endless amounts of popcorn, you are now able to hone your body into a sleek exotic car that runs good, drives the chicks (guys, if you?re a girl) wild, and that good conditioning is going to last you long into your lifetime. Slowly, a half hour here or a few minutes there, you copy the DVD, go along with the instructions, and, zingo bingo, you feel the changes.

Good health starts to seep through the ocean of your body, improving your hearing and vision, and you can work longer, harder, and more efficiently. Discipline starts to grab a hold of you, making you able to conquer new tasks, tasks which you previously thought daunting and difficult. And, here is the fun part, the world starts morphing to keep up with the new you...new friends, more money, the ability to make enough money to go to the best restaurants, maybe a real play, maybe a huge sporting event...and now the Force is truly with you. - 30300
