The Reason

Session Start: Tue Nov 07 03:40:09 2000

[03:44] <Chris> anyhoo, Pe, why are you interested in the shadow deal?

[03:44] <ApparationOfPeEll> Nice question Chris.. well lets see... theres this ismple little thing I am looking for called "self-discovery" mainly thats it...lol

[03:44] <ApparationOfPeEll> simple*

[03:45] <Chris> simple? hardly

[03:45] <ApparationOfPeEll> I know thats why I laughed.

[03:46] <Chris> ok, but why have you chosen one aspect already. we have three to choose from.

[03:46] <Chris> all with differing methods of attaining that goal

[03:47] <ApparationOfPeEll> DO the methods really impact the ends as long as you get there?

[03:48] <Chris> that all depends.

[03:48] <ApparationOfPeEll> On?

[03:48] <Chris> the method should be one you are comfortable with. if it's not, well...

[03:49] <Chris> If you've looked at all the aspects, you'd note that each one favors certain..characteristics, incentives.

[03:50] <ApparationOfPeEll> Incentives `eh? I am not looking for incentives. Just freeing.


[03:50] <ApparationOfPeEll> Incentives are what delude people.

[03:50] <Chris> fair view point. but, why the shadow specifically.

[03:50] <ApparationOfPeEll> I find that the mind like to create illusions. Incintives help that process.

[03:51] <ApparationOfPeEll> Well.. lets see...

[03:52] <ApparationOfPeEll> From what I can observed their views on certain things seem to be closely related to my own views... more than the other "aspects" if you will....

[03:52] <ApparationOfPeEll> have*

[03:52] <Chris> hmm. k

[03:53] <ApparationOfPeEll> Make sense?

[03:53] <Chris> sure, a bit vague though.

[03:54] <ApparationOfPeEll> Yes you are correct. Plus if their views are closely related to my own you would think that in trying to see what is so tp speak I would seek something that I don't necessarily agree with...

[03:54] <ApparationOfPeEll> to*

[03:55] <ApparationOfPeEll> I just feel like I should be here. It's strange.

[03:55] <Chris> understandable.

[03:55] <ApparationOfPeEll> I am not exactly looking for a set of beleifs or a direction to follow....

[03:55] <ApparationOfPeEll> Just to do away wit the ones I have.

[03:55] <ApparationOfPeEll> with the*

[03:56] <ApparationOfPeEll> And see what is.

[03:56] <ApparationOfPeEll> Make more sense that way?

[03:57] <Chris> repsectable, but you should have a pretty clear idea as to what you think the aspect can offer you, the better to concentrate on your goal, and to get pointed help from others

[03:59] <ApparationOfPeEll> Thats the thing... I don't want to attain anything from this "aspect" and my desire is just total freedom. I don't neccisarily agree with a lot of goals .. they are static and reachable.. the truth is always changing so my goal is to be ever changing so to speak?

[04:00] <ApparationOfPeEll> Umm... live in total freedom.

[04:00] <Chris> interesting

[04:00] <ApparationOfPeEll> From attachments...

[04:00] <ApparationOfPeEll> And things.

[04:01] <ApparationOfPeEll> The name "shadow" is just that to me.. a name. Naming things and lageling them wit words creates lots of things... things such as misunderstanding.. confusion... fear...

[04:01] <ApparationOfPeEll> Creates attachment to the actual word and not the concept.

[04:02] <ApparationOfPeEll> labeling*

[04:02] <ApparationOfPeEll> Grrr...lol

[04:02] <Chris> well, you already have the shadow curse of speeling ;)

[04:02] * Xaverri smiles

[04:02] <ApparationOfPeEll> Typing.

[04:02] <ApparationOfPeEll> I can spell.

[04:03] * ApparationOfPeEll laughs

[04:03] <ApparationOfPeEll> Is what I am saying making sense to any of you?

[04:03] <ApparationOfPeEll> I mean I don't ask that you agree with me.. just understand....

[04:03] <Chris> it does make sense, Pe.

[04:05] <Xaverri> I'll have to see later, pe. I'm kinda doing a few other things, so I'll have to read the log later

[04:05] <ApparationOfPeEll> No prob. Do your thing.

[04:05] <Chris> so, Pe, why're you so guarded with yourself?

[04:06] <ApparationOfPeEll> Gaurded with myself?

[04:07] <ApparationOfPeEll> ua*

[04:07] <ApparationOfPeEll> Whadda ya mean?

[04:08] <Chris> ya. you're constantly checking to see if you're getting across in the light you want, using neutral tones in your dialoge...

[04:08] <ApparationOfPeEll> Suppose that's something I need to find out huh? I honestly don't know.

[04:09] <Chris> a little something to work on. Keep in mind we're all of us searching out the same thing, you're opinion is as valid as anyones here

[04:09] * Xaverri grins

[04:09] <ApparationOfPeEll> True.

[04:10] <Xaverri> perhaps even better than a few... You're new :) hehehe

[04:10] * ApparationOfPeEll doesn't get that

[04:10] * ApparationOfPeEll laughs

[04:10] <Chris> don't get yourself caught in fa politics if at all possible

[04:11] <Xaverri> Oh, that's right, Chris

[04:11] <ApparationOfPeEll> Politics `eh?

[04:11] <ApparationOfPeEll> lol... why is that?

[04:12] <Chris> it distracts from what you're purpose is. or it can anyway

[04:12] <Chris> it has a way of solidifying beliefs to an unhealthy solidity

[04:12] <Chris> and that was a sucky sentence

[04:13] <ApparationOfPeEll> I got your point though.

[04:13] <Chris> k

[04:13] <ApparationOfPeEll> Organizations laways do that

[04:13] <ApparationOfPeEll> always*

[04:14] <Chris> unfortunately

[04:14] <ApparationOfPeEll> Another helping hand to the mind who likes to create illusions and false sense of security by helping find a "niche" to fit in and remain excluded...lol

[04:14] <Chris> bingo.

[04:14] <ApparationOfPeEll> Furthering you from truth.

[04:14] <Chris> don't get too comfortable to the point of inflexibility

[04:15] <ApparationOfPeEll> Oh no.. pliability is a must

[04:15] <ApparationOfPeEll> pliability is living...lol

[04:17] <Chris> what else do you feel contributes to that?

[04:17] <ApparationOfPeEll> To what living?

[04:17] <Chris> sure

[04:18] <ApparationOfPeEll> What else contributes to living..hmm....

[04:18] <ApparationOfPeEll> Desire within the total understanding of need...

[04:19] <ApparationOfPeEll> That about sums it up I think.

[04:19] <Chris> need over desire, huh?

[04:19] <ApparationOfPeEll> No.

[04:19] <Chris> explain

[04:20] <ApparationOfPeEll> Together. Having desire and understanding need.

[04:20] <Chris> but what if your desires are more than your sense of need?

[04:21] <Chris> or are you offering more of an idea of balance within the two?

[04:22] <ApparationOfPeEll> I am saying that you must understand need , not the quantity or quality of it... and then desire will not be more they will not be torturous

[04:23] <ApparationOfPeEll> be more than need*

[04:24] <Chris> how can you understand need without knowing the quantity of quality you require to live within your comfort zone?

[04:25] <ApparationOfPeEll> need there is mistaken for desires when you speak of comfort zones though

[04:26] <Chris> true, so you don't necessarily require comfort. ok.

[04:26] <ApparationOfPeEll> Right.

[04:28] <ApparationOfPeEll> See what I am observing is that the mind doesn't like conflict.

[04:28] <ApparationOfPeEll> But in conflict it becomes more acute...

[04:28] <Chris> I'm not so sure about that, but ok

[04:29] <Chris> conflict does require one learn faster, sure.

[04:29] <Chris> but does that mean you should actively seek conflict?

[04:29] <ApparationOfPeEll> Nopes.

[04:30] <ApparationOfPeEll> What I am saying is...

[04:30] <ApparationOfPeEll> To find what routes the mind has made to avoid conflict you must get to the state of conflict and observe what it has built.

[04:31] <ApparationOfPeEll> lol... confusing shyt I am writing `eh? Thsi is getting weird.

[04:31] <ApparationOfPeEll> this*

[04:31] <Chris> it's getting good. but that still sounds like seeking conflict to me.

[04:31] <ApparationOfPeEll> But...

[04:31] <ApparationOfPeEll> Once you have found the routes you can then adress dismantling them

[04:32] <ApparationOfPeEll> And be rid of the conflict.

[04:32] <ApparationOfPeEll> And everyone has them because we are nothing more than products of opur enviorment.

[04:32] <ApparationOfPeEll> our*

[04:33] <Chris> you'd give the environment a good deal of control then.

[04:33] <ApparationOfPeEll> Not really...

[04:33] <ApparationOfPeEll> Once you underatand the nature of the envorment.

[04:33] <ApparationOfPeEll> Ever changing it is...

[04:34] * ApparationOfPeEll laughs

[04:34] <ApparationOfPeEll> And ever tired I am becoming...lol

[04:34] <Chris> and ever more like yoda you are speaking ;)

[04:34] <ApparationOfPeEll> Ya ya!

[04:35] <ApparationOfPeEll> I think i am gonna try and hit the sac for a bit...

[04:35] <Chris> but it's a good thought path. keep these two parts in mind, on conflict and environment.

[04:35] <ApparationOfPeEll> Ahhhh....

[04:35] <ApparationOfPeEll> But see I believe that truth is a pathless land...lol

[04:35] <Chris> if all roads lead to the same goal, then all paths are moot, so I'd agree.

[04:36] <ApparationOfPeEll> lol... well guys it has been enjoyable but I think I am gonna make like a baby....

[04:36] <Chris> ok, I need to get sleep as well.

[04:36] <Chris> laters pe

[04:36] <ApparationOfPeEll> You there X?

[04:36] * ApparationOfPeEll taps the puter screen

[04:36] <ApparationOfPeEll> Cya Chris.

[04:37] *** ApparationOfPeEll has quit IRC (QUIT: Ciao All !)

[04:38] *** Chris has quit IRC (QUIT)

The Jedi Compass (2022 Revision)

(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…
