Experiment, Experience, Knowledge, Intuition, Inspiration

Your idea is that either I must inspire him specifically in every detail, making a mere automaton of him, or if I don't do that I can do nothing with him? What is this stupid mechanical notion of things?

The Force has military, poetic, healing capacity while the embodiment of the Force must have latent soldier, poet, medico – this sounds strange to me.

Because you have the damnably false idea that nothing can be done in the world except by mental means – that Force must necessarily be a mental Force and can't be anything else.

The strangest thing of all is that if the Divine wills it, He can Himself get the right knowledge and do without the instrument.

Why the devil should He will like that in all cases?
