The Force [Paperback]

Stuart Wilde (Author)

Book Description

"The Force" that Stuart describes is magnanimous beyond description - perhaps you might want to call it God. It is growing, dynamic, and has an inner drive or desire to become more of itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, March 13, 2005

This review is from: The Force (Paperback)

This outstanding piece of work from Stuart Wilde covers how we (everything that is) are all a manifestation of The Force energy. The Force may be called the Infinite, the Supreme, love, The Creator, etc. Each name though has certain connotations with it that may define it, and in doing so limit it. I like the term The Force in that it clearly refers to energy. Stuart talks about how the less spiritually evolved you may be, your energy is "vibrating" at a lower speed and thus attracts similar "lower energy". It's just a law on how The Force (energy) works. Similarly, as you develop spiritually your energy begins to increase (vibrating at a faster speed) and you also attract like energy or a higher energy. There is no good or bad, it is all energy. So, your life is a reflection of your energy patterns. If you have a lower energy, negative thoughts, closely tied into the physical world then that is what you will attract. Someone in this pattern will experience a lot of issues in their life, difficulties and problems. Lower energy people will be part of your life which means a lot of negative people. This can be known as Karma. Although there is no emotional attachment with it - no punishing or sin type of thing, just like energy attracting like energy. The good news is you can raise your energy continuously. As you raise it, by what Stuart refers to as discipline, you control your destiny and experience a more peaceful, happy life as a result of higher energy attracting higher energy. "Discipline" is your ability to connect with your higher self and let The Force be you in physical form. This means seeing everything as one - God, you, everything. Realizing that your body deserves respect, and eating and living healthy as a result of this. He refers to having an alkaline lifestyle as opposed to acid lifestyle. Alkaline will raise your energy. This is your diet, music, color, your thoughts (negative thoughts are "acid"). Judgment is negative and lowers your energy. Understanding that everyone has the right to their own experience, and being somewhat detached from the world - in an emotional level that lets you see things happening knowing that they are for the good of all. Not judging events or people, but recognizing The force in all. Having faith that everything is happening as it should. All of this will raise your energy so you can continue growing and continue to experience a more enriching life on the physical plane.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS LITTLE BOOK IS A REAL EYE OPENER, June 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Force (Paperback)

I received "THE FORCE" in the mail one day from a still unknown source in 1985, much intrigued read it. It shocked and horrified me at the same time, up until that point I thought all my sorrows were something I had to live with, grin and bare. Mr. Wilde knows how to reach deep down to the core of our being and shake up the all the useless junk we 've been taught to think and believe. Reading this lead me to read another book "YOU'LL SEE IT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT" by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

These two books started me on the road to healing my broken spirit by showing how to begin healing myself with tools that were always there. Mr.Wilde has a way of smacking us awake into the spiritual side of our being much like the day we were born and smacked on the butt to help bring us into the physical world. A whole wonderful truth is opened up by reading Wilde books that shows us we are the masters of our destinies IF we care enough and want real change. He makes us realise that we are our biggest problem by how we think and live. I thank Mr. Wilde and all the writers I've read like him for truly saving my life and starting me on a lifetime of real change and discovery. I can't wait to read "WHISPERING WINDS OF CHANGE" also by Mr. Wilde my brother just sent it to me.

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: The Force (Paperback)

I suggest you read his book Affirmations first, before this one and the others in the Taos Quartet. He continues his discussion of the universal life force here, in the chapters entitled: Reincarnation, guides & the higher self; Understanding the force; Developing a flow of communication; Four disciplines of the initiates; Love of the force sets you free; and Your life's ultimate goal. Wilde has a very unique style of writing and all his books are interesting - I just don't think the suggested exercises always work or are always applicable. I am not sure I agree with his dietary recommendations either. Nevertheless, this is a good read, especially for his take on the different "selves" and the discussion of vibrational patterns. I think that the mere act of reading his books raises one's vibrations!
