Yes There is Evil in the World

Why is it that spiritual masters throughout the ages, and our own chosen mythological inspiration, espouse repeatedly the value of forgiving more than fighting? Perhaps there is something to it. We are a race born to battle—it is in our genetic makeup. There are, I concede, sometimes, valid reasons to go to war; however, when faced with those fellow citizens that have committed evil on our own soil, I feel compassion is ultimately the only thing that creates lasting change.

One must remember that cultivating the spirit can have powerfully benevolent and illogical - some would say unnatural - results. It is natural to strike back even fold, it is natural to succumb to an “eye for an eye,” yet why is it repeatedly that the most spiritually devout and advanced throughout human history have championed the “unnatural” path of forgiveness? Only one who can see beyond the circles of this world can understand the test that is our lives, the human test of civilization.

My compassion is not limited to those who have not yet reconciled within themselves the scope of their crimes. As God’s compassion toward me is unlimited so shall my compassion to those who transgress and injure me. Why do you think Pope John Paul II visited his would-be assassin in prison? Was it because the assassin expressed great remorse? No it was not. Following in the footsteps of Christ, the Pope did the ultimate act of courage—he forgave unconditionally he who had trespassed him.

As such, a Jedi dedicates themselves to an understanding of all things within and through the Force. 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) 818 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…
