Remembering his pounded head:

FORCE
A power put in motion. It is generally understood to mean unlawful violence and can be actual or implied.

If a person with force breaks a door or gate for an illegal purpose, it is lawful to oppose force with force; and if one enters the close of another, he may be expelled immediately without a previous request as there is no time to make a request. When it is necessary to rely upon actual force in pleading, as in the case of a forcible entry, the words "manu forti," ["with a strong hand"] should be adopted. But in other cases, the words "vi et armis," ["with force and arms"] is sufficient.

The entry into the ground of another without his consent is breaking his close, for force is implied in every trespass quare clausum fregit. In the case of false imprisonment, force is implied. And the same rule prevails where a wife, a daughter or a servant have been enticed away or debauched, though in fact they consented, the law considering them incapable of consenting.

In general, a mere nonfeasance cannot be considered as forcible, for where there has been no act, there cannot be force, as in the case of the mere detention of goods without an unlawful taking.

Force, Threat Of Use
FORCE, THREAT OF USE - To do something which causes another person to act against his or her will. To use a 'threat of force' or to 'intimidate' or 'interfere with' means to say or do something which, under the same circumstances, would cause another person of ordinary sensibilities to be fearful of bodily harm if he or she did not comply.

Force
Force Used in two senses: an effect produced in matter, and the unknown cause of that effect. In the former sense it is a definite measurable quantity, usable in calculating the quantitative relation between phenomena, and of practical service in mechanics. But in the latter sense, force remains for science a mystery. If it is an inherent property of matter, then matter becomes a self-moving entity, a divine thing in its essence; if it acts on matter from outside, then where does it inhere? Is it an independent existence? The whole question is thus left hanging in the air.
According to theosophy the forces of science are effects produced on the physical plane by elementals or nature forces, which are themselves secondary causes and the effects of primary causes, ultimately of divine origin, behind the veil of terrestrial phenomena. Descending through the planes of cosmos there is a chain of effects. Theosophy sees no fundamental difference between force and motion: eternal motion gives rise on every plane to the dual manifestation of force and matter, twin aspects of the same substance.

Force
Clearly distinguish between your ego and your intuitive self.
Force advises that you discipline yourself assertively to separate self interest from enlightened wisdom. Deliberately identify with the wisdom of your intuition, even if it works against the desires of your willful ego. Demand and expect the same from all the others who have power in this situation. You cannot challenge others to live to a higher standard if you have not yet done so. Influence others by means of integrity. Your self esteem will increase to the degree that you succeed.
In the Strength arcanum, the animal nature, so fierce and scary in its primal form, has been tamed and brought to heel, under the direction of our subtler, finer (feminine, interior) self. The will and passion of our untamed nature does not need to be “broken,” but refined and brought to consciousness so that all levels of Creation, inner and outer, might come into harmony. The feminine soul-force shows a strength and persuasive power that can induce cooperation from others, stilling disruptive energies and relating the Planes of Being to each other in a cooperative spirit.

Force
Something which, when applied to a moving object, will induce it to change its frame of reference. Forces can also be applied to objects in such a way that they squash or stretch them without inducing an overall motion. The unit of force is the Newton which is that which causes 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/sec/sec.

Force
A push or a pull, it causes objects to change their motion. It is a vector quantity, with a particular direction and forces must be combined with special vector rules. Also see centrifugal force .

FORCE
The action on a body which tends to change its relative condition as to rest or motion.

Force
Process that changes the state of rest or motion of a body.
