 The Living Force - Qui-Gon Jinn, trans. by Elizabeth
The cosmic Force is impersonal in a sense, it encompasses destiny and foreknowledge, and binds and unifies the universe.
The cosmic Force was that which was always real, while the living was transitory because it depended on the present, which of course passes as soon as it arrives, and on life, which is just as impermanent as an instant in time.
Jedi often refer to these living Force revelations about the "rightness" of certain courses of action as "the will of the Force." This too is misleading to the uninitiated, because it is often taken to imply that the Force has a consciousness and desires as we do.

 Guardian | Unifying force - or just a peace treaty?
Opinion is divided in Iraq and beyond on whether its new constitution, to be voted on tomorrow, will help to hold the country together - or accelerate its disintegration into three separate, mutually antagonistic Shia, Sunni and Kurdish statelets.
Otherwise, agreed or proposed federal regions, such as Kurdistan, will control their own military forces and territory, enforce their own laws (which override federal law), raise taxes and distribute water, and enjoy sole authority over new oilfields.
That suggests a limited future role for Iraq's still notional national army, and that the offices of federal president and prime minister could be rendered largely symbolic.

But today it is a placid outpost in more unified Europe: a home for the European Parliament, and a mecca for cross-border shoppers.
The new currency may also be a means for Europe to grow into a stronger competitor with the United States: The move to a unified market and a single currency has forced the transformation of Europe's biggest industries.
In many respects, the euro will seem at first like a phantom currency because notes and coins are not slated to enter circulation until Jan. 1, 2002, to give Europeans a chance to get used to the new currency and merchants time to adjust.

 Labor finds a unifying force in AFL-CIO leader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-24)
In less than three years on the job, Nesbitt's nonstop intensity is reshaping the labor movement in Oregon to make it both more unified and politically sophisticated.
He also realized that while the union share of the work force in Oregon has steadily dropped – from 27 percent in 1980 to 17 percent in 2001 – there still are some 400,000 voters in union households who could be mobilized as a force in elections.
Nesbitt's chance to test his ideas came in 1998 when, as executive director of the service employee union's state council, he seized the lead role in putting together a coalition to fight a measure by Sizemore that would have prevented public worker unions from using paycheck deductions for political purposes.
