There is an energy that surrounds everything, everywhere... I beleive that there are those that can "tap" into this force and they receive special abilities. I don't think it's like being psychic though. I don't think they can ever control the energy directly. But they do tap into it and it can help in amazing ways, depending on how in tune with it you are. The many examples of great wisdom passed down throughout time show clearly that this energy provide incredible insight to those who look for it. I also believe that many many many people tap into this energy without really knowing. Such as when you are concentrating on trying to figure something out, and then, ah ha! the answer comes to you.

Many, many people and many different religions have very similar explainations refering to this universal energy.
