Understanding the Force

For at least the rest of the week, I delved deep into the force. My need to have this ability that I can use constantly is what pushed me to greater heights within the force.

I slowly but surely remember master yoda's teaching to Luke, "There is do or do not. No try." I took that to heart and did or did not.

It definitely wasn't easy. But the force itself seemed to gravitate towards me. To beg to be used. It was odd. I'd never encountered something like this before. Where the force is seemingly attached to one person.

However, the more I thought on this the more it made sense, being the only person capable of touching said force, it would naturally try to flood me with its presence. Think of a river that can only fit through a narrow valley. But the water level is too much for the valley to support, so eventually it overflows.

By the time I'd dropped back down from the tree I was completely ready to take on the world on pandora.

'First things first, find a cave or tree capable of supporting my new home.' I thought to myself as I made a leisurely walk through one of the most dangerous places in the cosmos for outsiders to the biosphere.

As if on cue I see a viper wolf coming to attack me in my minds eye. Without missing a beat I'm jumping over the launching animal like I did when I first arrived. However, this time I'm prepared. Flipping over the viper wolf I unleash a powerful force push sending it crashing into a tree.

The thing growls at me and prepares to start the attack anew, with a sudden claw swipe that tags my chest slightly leaving 3 marks across my chest that leak my blood.

Contrary to what I thought my blood looked like, it was a very very bright red. A Scarlett color that is usually crimson.

However I have no time to try and understand another aspect about myself that's odd while the top land predator of pandora makes its move.

With insane speed it rushes back at me like a bull coming at the matador, and just like the matador, I move just out of reach.

After ensuring our distance in case I mess this up I imagine grabbing the viper wolf by the neck and twisting as hard as I can.

In an instant I'm greeted with the sound of bone snapping. Plunging the world around me into an eerie silence.

Walking up to the body of the dead viper wolf, I slowly put my hand on it and give a prayer. Who am I praying to? I don't know. But it feels right to ensure his death is an honored as his life.

Saying a few words I get up and begin to skin the kill so I can make my Way to a system of caves I saw on my way here to cook the meat.

After deboning the kill and making sure I have a branch sturdy enough to cook it I start to meditate on the fight I just had.

The force was incredibly useful. Sure hearing and seeing it on the big screen was crazy. But to actually feel it? To feel like you can understand every single being around you. From the smallest of insects to the largest predators, everything is and was connected. It was a beautiful thing to see. Like rivers of energy crisscrossing throughout the entire planet connecting everything.

This is what it means to be able to touch the force. To understand everything and everyone around you. It was beautiful and terrifying.

To think that one of the most powerful energy sources in the known universe of human thinking, is solely mine to minipulate is incredibly awe and fear inspiring. The constant tightrope between light and dark for force users makes it an incredibly difficult experience. One I know have to walk myself.

Sitting cross legged I decide to meditate tonight instead of sleep. It gives me the same amount of energy, but meditation helps me center my emotions and thoughts about the day.

After a week of staying on this paradisacal and deadly moon Andrew Spark finally felt like he belongs. Like it wasn't some crazy dream he would eventually wake up from.

He decided then and there, "no one will keep me under their thumb," he said aloud into the night. Thinking about all the awful things the RDA does to the blue hippies who just want to enjoy the beauty of their planet and commune with their goddess.

That reminds me, there's a goddess on this moon. One I'll need to at least try to stay on the good side of. Anyone who saw the first movie saw that when push comes to shove, there's no more powerful being on this moon than her, Ewya.

That night, my eyes close trying to think of a way to appeal my situation to the tree goddess. Not knowing I was already being watched by such entity.....

An: the start of this is going to be rough. I'm just trying to get to a place I can start to meet other people as well as form connections with a few animals In a similar way to the naavi.

Drop suggestions for how to continue the story. I enjoy hearing other perspectives 🙌🏻💪🏼
