The Living Force is a Jedi philosophy about the Force. Followers of the Living Force believe it is present in most living beings, surrounding and penetrating them, thus making all living things connected by the Force.

The Jedi believing in the Living Force rely on their instincts and are attuned to other living beings around them. They are mindful of the future and the possible consequences of their actions, but remain focused on the present. Proponents of the Living Force view espouse a philosophy of “living in the moment,” rely heavily on their instincts and concentrated more on sensitivity to living things, rather than fulfilling destiny, which is one of the main tenets of the Unifying Force philosophy.
