=When to use the Force= (By Mi-Zhe Fu) (Return to Accredited Teachings) (Return to Teachings)

The Force is a very new subject to many people. A lot of the new members may have only felt it for the first time just a couple weeks ago. But it should be noted that it is possible to do real world things with it. So even though you may not be good at using the Force right now, you should still have an understanding of when the best time is to use it.

Take a look at these two pictures:

Obi-Wan opens the door with his hands even though he is strong with the Force.



Once inside he closes the door with the Force.

This is a good example of when to use it. A Jedi understands to only use the Force when you have to. The switch for the door is right there in reach, so it would make sense to not bother with the Force. But once in side, Obi-Wan closes the door with the Force because the switch is on the outside making it nearly impossible. Also he is sneaking into the closet so making noise and reaching out side the closet would be risky at that point.

The Force uses energy, and a Jedi learns to preserve it and live in harmony with it. Showing off, and using it to become lazy is not the Jedi way.
