Force
Force, in physics, is any influence that causes an object to undergo a certain change, either concerning its movement, direction, or geometrical construction.
In the Theosophical view, forces are the effects of the action of Ākāśa:
Expressed in occult language it might be said with more correctness that this “force-substance” is the ever-active phenomenal positive æther—prakriti; while the omnipresent all pervading ether is the noumenon of the former, the substratum of all, or Akâsa. . . . For ÆTHER, in Esotericism, is the very quintessence of all possible energy, and it is certainly to this universal agent (composed of many agents) that all the manifestations of energy in the material, psychic and spiritual worlds are due.[1]
H. P. Blavatsky stated that forces had a material basis, although "it is not matter, as defined by Science—i.e., matter in any of its known states."[2] Because "forces" have a material nature and are always in moving, force, matter, and motion form "the trinity of physical objective nature"[3]
