Ralph Waldo Emerson practically beats readers over the head in his essay "Self-Reliance" with the concept of KNOW THYSELF, every heart beats to that iron string" he says.

Know who you are.

I think that knowing thyself is the first key to living the life of a Jedi. Meditate on these topics and others that you think of that are relevant to understanding YOU.

1. Who are you? Look at your life up until the point where you decided that the Jedi path was the right avenue for you to take.  Study who you have been and who you are.

2. What do you believe in? What are the core truths for you? What are negotiable beliefs? Study what your values are and why you hold them.

3. Who have been your guides? As you have journeyed through life, look back at the people who have influenced you most and think about why they have. Parents, teachers, friends, mentors, employers (heh).

4. How does who you are affect those around you? This is also a part of being empathic and mindful, but it is important to consider how you fit into the big picture. We are not islands after all.

Just some things to think about as you start out on the Jedi path or remind yourself of who you are :-D

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..
