Many people know what the Shadow side is. They know that the Shadow side itself is not limited to either of the two aspects of the force, but rather extends from extreme to extreme. This fact that all aspects of the Force does NOT mean that all force users are Shadow Jedi.
Shadow Jedi, are force users who strive to unlearn all concepts of good and evil. They learn to see things in more natural terms. There is no good or evil...only oneness. Shadow Jedi as such strive to live in the balance of the moment. Each moment has its own energy balance and when an energy balance becomes to extreme to the point where it is unhealthy for life, it is the job of the Shadow jedi to step in and restore balance.
Shadow Jedi Progression:
Level One; Actualizing the Force.
This is the stage in which Shadow Adepts realize the existence and presence of a force around them at all times and in all places. This is a stage of awakening and can take much time.
Level Two; Finding Inner balance through Realization.
During this stage of development Shadow Adepts must learn to see the world through a different lens. They must learn to no longer see the world as chaos and random events. They must learn to see the intricacies and connections of all things around them. Than they must understand that all things are in balance, where one thing is stronger another is weaker...and as such it will shift back and forth until equilibrium is reestablished. We see this in the world around us, we note how all things in nature bend to this rule as it is a supreme concept. Through this realization we begin to understand that as such our personality has such balances...where one aspect is stronger its opposite is weaker. We must also understand that this give and take relationship is not beneficial and that it is only beneficial when in equilibrium...when all aspects are equal and none is favored...at this stage progression is only natural.
Training at this stage includes self hypnotism and restructuring of the personality. First we recognize the parts of the personality that are favored...than we must restructure our personality so that it too is in equilibrium. Once we have achieved inner balance we have made our first great step into the world of the Force.
Level Three; Freedom of Balance.
After the attainment of inner balance we form a connection with the balance of energies around us. With our own personalities balanced we now have the freedom to undertake any action the force dictates without it corrupting or affecting our personality make-up.
At this stage we become operational Jedi...We now use our abilities to balance those around us, as well as nature and the environment as well. However this is a task that is only undertaken every once in a great while (When all things can no longer balance themselves for the benefit of life). This opportunity only arises once in every few generations. As of these most recent years we will be moving into this era of turmoil.
The job of a Shadow Jedi is never clear...sometimes it can be the most insignificant of tasks. While at other times it can be the most daunting. Only your closeness with the force can dictate this to you. To be a Shadow Jedi is to be one with the force, the process of becoming a Shadow Jedi is a process of unlearning all that separates us from the force...
