If I may toot my own shofar, a few of the posts I like best:
Ah yes, the mind-control aspects of The Force – that could be useful. Did you go around trying to "will" things to happen, so see if you could get that Force working? I'll admit to trying similar stuff now and then as a kid. For example, I once saw a Rosicrucians advertisement in a tabloid, urging readers to "test" their latent mental powers by "thinking" at someone until the psychic energy (or whatever it was) makes the person notice, or act oddly, etc. So I recall hiding in the back of the room, "thinking" at a grandfather until he scratched his head, which I wanted to take as "proof" that something happened. Yet at the same time it was a very unsatisfying result, as I couldn't fool myself into ignoring that he was always scratching his head...
Kids are weird. : )
Anyway, thanks for the kind words!
