watching star wars episode 1 the other day :
Master, sir... I've been wondering... what are midi-chlorians?
QUI-GON Midi-chlorians are a microcopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force.
ANAKIN They live inside of me?
QUI-GON In your cells. We are symbionts with the midi-chlorians.
ANAKIN Symbionts?
QUI-GON Life forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to you, telling you the will of the Force.
me: "just like the Holy Spirit!" yes i literally said that out loud.
ANAKIN They do??
QUI-GON When you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you.
me: "heh... heh...."
ANAKIN I don't understand.
QUI-GON With time and training, Annie...you will.
God has this funny habit of speaking to me through star wars.
back up: lately i've come to a point where i'm just like, God i want to hear your voice and to just know it so well....
i was watching star wars on tv and this scene came on and i was just taken aback. i mean, everyone knows the force is kind of representative of God, but God just revealed this to me.
"they continually speak to you, telling you the will of the force" !!!! yes okay right the Holy Spirit is constantly speaking to us, we are constantly in communication with God. that's awesome really.
"when you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you" so yes what is God trying to tell me? i have the most terrible time with quieting my mind, people ask me what does my quiet time with God look like, and to be honest, it is rather non-existent. i mean, i have time with God (though even that isn't the most consistent either), but quiet time... and i know it is when i spend quiet time with God, time spent in His word and seeking after Him, that is when i will learn the sound of His voice. i mean, i knew that before in my mind, but now i really know it and have revelation of it. from star wars.
i wonder so much of the time whether george lucas has any idea at all the kind of things he's put in his movies--how strongly God speaks through them. |
