Quote:"There is a spirit--the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Christ, the light of truth, the light of Christ--that defies description and is beyond mortal comprehension. It is in us and in all things; it is around us and around all things; it fills the earth and the heavens and the universe. It is everywhere, in all immensity, without exception; it is an indwelling, immanent, ever-present, never-absent spirit. It has neither shape nor form nor personality. It is not an entity nor a person nor a personage. It has no agency, does not act independently, and exists not to act but to be acted upon." - Bruce R. McConkie
By this description, it is nearly indistinguishable from the Force.
Quote:"Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship." - Yoda
By these descriptions, it is the power through which we can command the elements to obey us, as we obey the will of God. It is the means through which we may walk on water if necessary, or some day perhaps, even fly. The light of Christ is not often discussed because it can lead people down a path of mysticism and magic. Though it is never intended to draw a person away from Christ, but rather bring them more in harmony with Christ.
