I’ve been approached on occasion from folks asking me point blank: “so what’s all this nonsense about metaphysical language, extra sensory perception, and mind melding which you drone on about on your website?! Are these just fictional accounts or do you believe these events actually occurred?! Are you insane?!” I simply reply: “call what I’m writing historical fact or fiction from your perspective as the reader for your own interpretation is just that, your own.”
Keep in mind that they are mere stories, embellished or not, that I’ve been set to recall for inclusion in my book Bipolar Coordinates: Navigating Vibrations and Undercurrents. They will be penned down in my own historical accounts of my personal myths and legends. Once again, they’re just stories. True or not I’ve been asked to share them. Your response, ridicule or not, is also your own as it bears no weight in sharing my life experiences with others who may benefit.

Han Solo delivers a similar sentiment as my naysayers and those who doubt my truths regarding the Force to Luke while aboard the Millennium Falcon back in the seventies:
“Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.”

However, thirty-eight years later in The Force Awakens, 2015, Solo changed his tune, a complete 180 on the subject during a conversation with Rey and Finn aboard the Falcon:
Rey asked quizzically: “The Jedi were real?” Solo answered, “I used to wonder that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo-magical power holding together good, evil, the dark side and the light. Crazy thing is, it’s true. The Force, the Jedi, all of it. It’s all true.”
