Thanks, Publius, that was very interesting! I never realized before that Star Wars portrays the "inner" life of people, as well as how they fit in with the rest of the world - in that sense, there are no true "loners." I don't believe in "the force," but I definitely believe that we're all part of something bigger. And it's interesting that there's often an "artistocratic" group of people in many stories, including Star Wars. We do like to think we're being ruled by "the best," but I don't think that's always the case.

Goodness!
What a wonderful interview and one I would like to copy and paste to my site: Creating Fun for Life ... if you do not mind?
I will be using this quote on my main page:
"When we become attuned to values and energies beyond our immediate practical concerns, the effect on our lives may be enormous. Listening to the voice from deep within can change everything. Quiet pursuits like poetry and meditation can lead to daring action, once you find a calling or become aware of the needs of others. Allowing ourselves to be led by our deepest values can take us in surprising directions.
"The Force", aka ... that still small Voice within, the Holy Spirit, God, Nature, etc...
Each of us has a different name for that �Force�, [as mentioned within the article], and each of us derive strength from that 'Force'. What is fun and challenging for me is finding common ground - forming an Alliance, if you will - and then thriving, growing and learning from each other - together - sharing old ways and being open to learning new ways often build strength vs. causing weakness. It is when I hold only to 'one way' that chaos and destruction 'potentially' and 'eventually' come upon me� HAS come upon me. I have been in Darth Vader�s shoes and I have been in Luke Skywalkers shoes � and I gained/learned from each experience.
I personally cannot deny a greater force within my life and being �open to the �Force', [intuition and all those objects/people larger than myself] is imperative to living a productive life effectively and not being pulled down to the �Dark Side of the force�. (insert ominous music here and playful grin)! :p
At least, that is what my 'still small voice within' believes for now� I�m open to learning MORE.
I realize that you copy and pasted this yourself, yet I would like to share what you share this article on my site and give credit to where I discovered the article ... here.
Again, I so enjoyed reading this! Thank you for sharing!
Love from afar yet near in Heart,

I just discovered this site:
http://www.theosophical.org/theosophy/faqs/index.html
because of this entry. I had never even heard of Theosophy until .... just a moment ago. Always fun to discover something new. =)
Please enjoy yourself today and all those you are surrounded by!
Love,
