Looking at the Anger Within

I do not believe that anger ever really leaves us but it can be channeled and used in a creative framework to better our own lives and the lives of others. Emotions cannot be constricted, for if one attempts to quash them they return in often insidious forms that are more damaging and harmful than if one just accepted the original impulse to begin with. This is called in the Freudian school of psychology the defense mechanism of sublimation. This is when a potentially harmful negative and/or destructive impulse is channeled into a behavioral framework with a positive life affirming result. Using one’s anger to engage in intensive physical training is one such method, the emotion is diffused and one gains a healthy workout. This is a good example of a band-aid, and this type of substitution is a good short term remedy, but to discover the root cause of your anger may require deeper probing and meditation on your part.

You may never discover the source of your anger and that is okay as well, the most important thing is to always use the Force to improve the dominion of love, patience, and compassion in the world. One’s anger can be a valuable tool to promote change; it just must be honored with restraint and caring for others beyond the self. Anger taken to extremes leads to unilateral “me first” behavior which can be deeply destructive and even lead to loss of life.

I believe it is beneficial for some to meditate and take martial arts, striving to become one with these ancient arts. Feel the Force, concentrate, find your balance, and tap the source of your energy, and then feel the connection to all things around you. I know you can make it because I, too, had to master my anger, and though it took time and training, I am now in a much more peaceful and content place. I would not have made it without pure emotional honesty and many good friends along the way.

(See links below for alternate translations) The Ineffable The Force- The Force is a loosely adapted term to explain something which all cultures agree exists, but disagree on exactly what it is. 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) 821 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…
