Combining work with meditation

There are several of transforming your daily experiences into a Jedi or spiritual practice. First consider your occupation; if it harms or exploits other living beings then it is detestable from a Jedi point of view. If your occupation is acceptable from a Jedi/spiritual point of view, then the second step is to integrate some form of meditation or application of the Jedi arts into your day. Ask yourself if you’re ‘present now’ when you’re working or is your focus elsewhere? Train your-self to focus on the here and now and to be mindful of what you’re doing without letting your thoughts wander off. Just like when you meditate and may focus on your breath so to when you work, focus your mind on the task at hand. Take note when your mind wonders off and refocus it.

At a deeper level does your work make you happy? All you need really is the money to support your-self and whoever may be dependent on you, does any of the extra money you may earn in your occupation to buy luxury goods make you happy, do these objects make you happy?  If not, you would simply be happier simplifying things and learning to be content with what you have. Plus remember this; you are only self-sufficient when you do not deprive others of what they need.

As a rule, no Jedi can set down in law a concrete definition of the Force for all to follow, only for themselves. Core Ethics Loyalty to the Jedi Code- This has a few different variants depending on what order a Jedi attends. A Jedi is bound by the code. By maintaining your loyalty to the code, you are able to keep your actions in check through the moral integrity of the Jedi Path outlined in the Jedi Code. It is important that a Jedi checks their own version of the code against the original codes…

Shadow Approach to Combat

Justin Tallant (Shinobi) 839 Hits Rating 5.00
Combat lectures have been appearing more and more often. Combat is a part of life, but for Shadow Jedi, falling into a conflict should be viewed as a small failure, unless of course you are doing it in the defense of another. Shadow Jedi Combat is not like any other form of combat, simply because it is not guided by the same laws and rules that guide other systems of combat. For the Shadow Jedi, defeat is only a result of failure to your teachings...What I mean by that is the Shadow Jedi do not actually try to defeat their opponents. Instead they become one with the intentions of their opponents, thus making their own intentions work against them.. For a Jedi every piece of matter in existence, and on every vibrational wave length is potentially a tool of your will. That in itself is not…
