"Life is school. The world is neither prison nor penitentiary, nor a palace of ease, nor an amphitheatre for games and spectacles, but a place of instruction, and discipline. Life is given for moral and spiritual training, and the entire course of the great school of life is an education for virtue, happiness and a future existence. The periods of Life are its terms; all human conditions, its forms; all human employments, its lessons. Families are the primary departments of this moral education; the various circles of society, its advanced stages; Kingdoms and Republics, its universities." -Masonic wisdom
A Light Jedi is called to think universally and to extend charity to all life forms. The Force is present within and without and permeates all life experience on the atomic level. As one grows in connection with the Force, one is able to elevate one's consciousness through the release of fear. Fear can be released through the accumulation of wisdom for it is known in the heart of a Jedi that our basic position in life is one of complete abundance. A Jedi must let go of thoughts of want and thoughts of lack.
Armed with knowledge of your immortality and oneness with the Force you will be able to shrug off many traps that foil the spirits of the multitudes. Your mission is right here and right now in the everyday normal life. The ordinary is in fact supernatural, viewing life through the prism of spiritual growth and seeking the lessons present in all things. This is the ability to use what appears to be pedestrian as a call to great spiritual growth. A real life Light Jedi does not need the man on the mountain monastary with the fu man chu beard to gain instruction on righteous living - it can be the annoying customer at work that leads to the great quickening and tempering of a Jedi's connection to the Force!
Work is a holy endeavor for it is in a Jedi's work that he learns the power of remaining cheerful though the delaying of personal grattification. It seems like toil on the surface but it is in the moments of great persecution or when one must lower oneself to do the dirty work that the prideful heart takes exception with that one experiences the most spiritual growth!
So -think - Life is school and the path of the Light Jedi is work!

Knowledge
A Jedi gets the most authentic knowledge through delaying the short term comfort and in the process inculcates the virtue of seeking knowledge for the care of others.
The mind of a Jedi must be serene and glacial- a temple of love and compassion where knowledge is sought for the sake of virtue alone and not become cluttered or dominated by fight and flight states of being, when these feelings come up a Jedi must focus immediately on the Force.

The technique is simple:
When one starts to experience fear or fear's children, do the following:
Think about the Force. It is that simple. Whatever is bothering you allow the thoughts to gently wash over you and shift your focus to the Force. It makes no difference what type of trouble you are having- whether it be personal, emotional, financial, an accident, a physical or health challenge or relationship trouble. Whatever it is that is burdening you simply shift your internal focus to that of the Force. Do not attempt to visualize an image of the Force- which is ofcourse not within the scope of human ability. Instead engage in repetition on the mental plane of everything that you know about the Force. The Force is present everywhere, has infinite power and binds everything in the universe together - it is the engine of your compassion, love and forgiveness and allows you to rise above that which seeks to cause you harm. Remember for the technique to work you must give yourself wholeheartedly to the Force and not be tempted to return to thoughts of the difficulty, or endeavor to discover how matters germane to the difficulty are progressing. This is nothing less than a complete exorcism or purge of one's consciousness - substituting the difficulty with thoughts of the Force.
Use this technique regularly and I will then instruct you in a future essay with a proven technique on how to completely release your negative emotions permanently, with regularity and with complete success, without having to pay a single cent.
