“A strong life force can be seen in physical vitality, courage, competent judgment, self-mastery, sexual vigor, and the realization of each person’s unique talents and purpose in life. To maintain a powerful life force, forget yourself, forget about living and dying, and bring your full attention into this moment.”
H.E. Davey, Japanese Yoga: The Way of Dynamic Meditation

Vera Nazarian
“On this material plane, each living being is like a street lantern lamp with a dirty lampshade.

The inside flame burns evenly and is of the same quality as all the rest—hence all of us are equal in the absolute sense, the essence, in the quality of our energy.

However, some of the lamps are “turned down” and having less light in them, burn fainter, (the beings have a less defined individuality, are less in tune with the universal All which is the same as the Will)—hence all of us are unequal in a relative sense, some of us being more aware (human beings), and others being less aware (animal beings), with small wills and small flames.

The lampshades of all are stained with the clutter of the material reality or the physical world.

As a result, it is difficult for the light of each lamp to shine through to the outside and it is also difficult to see what is on the other side of the lampshade that represents the external world (a great thick muddy ocean of fog), and hence to “feel” a connection with the other lantern lamps (other beings).

The lampshade is the physical body immersed in the ocean of the material world, and the limiting host of senses that it comes with.

The dirt of the lampshade results from the cluttering bulk of life experience accumulated without a specific goal or purpose.

The dirtier the lampshade, the less connection each soul has to the rest of the universe—and this includes its sense of connection to other beings, its sense of dual presence in the material world and the metaphysical world, and the thin connection line to the wick of fuel or the flow of electricity that resides beyond the material plane and is the universal energy.

To remain “lit” each lantern lamp must tap into the universal Source of energy.

If the link is weak, depression and-or illness sets in.

If the link is strong, life persists.

This metaphor to me best illustrates the universe.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“Why do we resist the mystery that change brings? When we get too rigid and inflexible, rigor mortis of the soul sets in. For proof of this, we need look no further than to those who choose to stay in a relationship or job long after the soul, or life force, that originally brought it passion and joy has vacated the premises.”
Dennis Merritt Jones, The Art of Uncertainty: How to Live in the Mystery of Life and Love It

Jane Bennett
“A life thus names a restless activeness, a destructive-creative force-presence that does not coincide fully with any specific body. A life tear the fabric of the actual without ever coming fully 'out' in a person, place, or thing. A life points to ... 'matter in variation that enters assemblages and leaves them. A life is a vitality proper not to any individual but to 'pure immanence,' or that protean swarm that is not actual though it is real: 'A life contains only virtuals. It is made of virtualities.”
Jane Bennett, Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things

Annie Dillard
“I have often noticed that these things, which obsess me, neither bother nor impress other people even slightly. I am horribly apt to approach some innocent at a gathering, and like the ancient mariner, fix him with a wild, glitt’ring eye and say, “Do you know that in the head of the caterpillar of the ordinary goat moth there are two hundred twenty-eight separate muscles?” The poor wretch flees. I am not making chatter; I mean to change his life.”
Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Jane Bennett
“The pure power of a life can manifest as beatitude, or as an unspeakable, sheer violence...”
Jane Bennett, Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things

Shakti Gawain
“When you don't pay attention to your intuition, or go against it, you may find that you feel a certain heaviness, lack of energy, a kind of deadness. This is because the life force is trying to come through and move you in a certain way, and it is being blocked.”
Shakti Gawain, Developing Intuition: Practical Guidance for Daily Life

Janny Wurts
“All things were formed of energy, arrangements of bundled light that were subject to natural law. The awareness of this truth, defined to absolute perfection, granted the mage-trained their influence. To know a thing, to encompass its full measure in respect was to hold its secrets in mastery. Life-force was the basis of all power.”
Janny Wurts, The Curse of the Mistwraith

“The Playful Happiness in my garden. A cat and a dog saluting and caressing one another. How to be sad or poor when Happiness's own reason is to just come and recognize it and take part to its game.”

“Qi is the Chinese word for "life energy". According to Chinese medicine, qi is the animating power that flows through all living things. A living being is filled with it. A dead person has no more qi. A healthy individual has more qi than one who is ill. However health is more than an abundance of qi. Health implies that the qi in our bodies is clear, rather than polluted and turbid, and flowing smoothly, liek a stream, not blocked or stagnant.”
Kenneth S. Cohen, The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing

Paul Duncan
“Everybody, ultimately, is trying to reach a harmony with the other part of the life force. And in trying to figure out what life is all about, we ultimately come down to expressions of compassion and love, helping the rest of the life force, caring about others without any conditions or expectations, without expecting to get anything in return. This is expressed in every religion, by every prophet.” - George Lucas”
Paul Duncan, Das Star Wars Archiv: Episoden IV-VI 1977-1983

Donna Goddard
“As spiritual beings, to some extent, we are ever a stranger to normal human life. We are in the world but not of it. When the humanness has diminished enough and the human karma worked through enough, the alone feeling evaporates, never to return. In fact, it becomes apparent that it would be impossible to ever feel alone again as one is intimately connected to a thriving life-force. We feel intrinsically related to everyone. We have a deep solitariness but we can never be lonely because there can no longer be any separation from God. We are more a part of humanity than ever before because we see all as of God. We are all here together, joined irrevocably in the evolution of humanity both individually and collectively.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Uneasiness began to fill my essence again, but I grounded myself with deep, conscious breathing techniques, through my nose, channeling down to my solar plexus. I visualized the vitality expanded and aligned through my spinning electromagnetic fields.”
Lali A. Love, Blade of Truth

“The word "gizz" would shock the Tallahassee Ladies Guild, but despite its homonym, it's a common usage among bird artists. Like "gist," but with more substance---a life force, the spirit that reaches beyond the brushstroke to the vitality of the bird.”
Virginia Hartman, The Marsh Queen

Robin S. Baker

The 19 elements of the astral body are mental, emotional and lifetronic. The 19 components are:
[1] Intelligence

[3] feeling
[4] mind (sense-cosnciousness)
[5-9] five intruments of knowledge, the subtle counterparts of the senses of sight, hearing, smell, aste, touch,
[10-14] five instruments of action, the mental correspondence for the executive abilities to procreate, excrete, talk, walk and exercise manual skill
[15-19] five instruments of life force, those empowered to perform the crystallizing assimilating, eliminating, metabolizing, and circulating functions of the body.

“The life essence - this spirit or energy-force is within every human being, within all animals, birds and creatures that swim and crawl, within plants and trees, and within rocks and stones and minerals. It is even within the very elements themselves - within Water and Fire and Earth and even Air, for it is in the very winds that freshen and vitalise us and keep us 'alive'.”
Kenneth Meadows, Earth Medicine: Revealing Hidden Teachings of the Native American Medicine Wheel

“Humans are less able to maintain the Life Force in their cells, due to many imbalances caused mainly by the lack of self love promoted by our societies and transmitted further to the next generations”
