Morality of the Shadow Side

on Posted in Shadow Content. Hits: 841

Myself and a friend of mine JediKnight G have often talked about the differences in philosophy between our two aspects of the force. His views are very clear to most Jedi, but if you seek clarification talk to him I will not speak for him, However I wish to clarify the morality of the shadow side.

First off I have often stated that the shadow side is a balance between the polar realms of light and dark force aspects. This does not mean that a shadow user must commit himself to dark action in any way, nor does it mean that he must commit himself to light action in any way. The first lesson a Shadow Jedi must learn is that all aspects of the force light and dark have the potential to have either a negative outcome or a positive. This philosophy means that you can take dark action and have a positive out come. Likewise you can take light action and have a dark outcome. A shadow jedi does not alter his own personal beliefs of what is right and what is wrong but rather accepts the truth that they are one in the same. I personally am of a rather light nature, my intentions are always light. However my actions are not always light. I can take dark action to fulfill my light intentions.

A Shadow Jedi can be of a dark nature and take light action to preform a dark intention. What a shadow jedi is taught is that the force aspects light in dark can have any potential outcome that is what we are trained to master. I have wrote down many examples of this. However the point that must be remembered is that when you have a Light Jedi he is committed to light action with light intention, whereas a Dark Jedi is committed to dark action with dark intention. That is what it means to follow those paths. The path of a shadow jedi is that of a free Dark Jedi or a free Light Jedi. We Never change our intentions, however we have the freedom to use any action necessary to reach our goals. I hope I have clarified At least a little bit, but if you like it simple I will leave you with this passage. "There is room in the universe for all paradox."...Teaching of the Mikkyo Temples.

  • The Communication and Incorporation of Ideas

    By Colin Waring
    Another issue commonly brought up is that of good and evil, right and wrong. To generalize, everyone does what they believe is right regardless of their side. Light-siders believe their way is that of good and the right path, but Dark-siders also believe that their way is good and the…

  • Unlearning

    By Raven
    Unlearning “You must unlearn what you have learned” Everyday at the FA something is said about unlearning, but what is it? There are many misconceptions when it comes to the idea of unlearning, but let’s break it down to its simplest idea. Open-mindedness! If you can remember this when you…

  • Staring at a Shadow

    By Pelar
    I sit and stare and wonder - How do you stare at a Shadow? Do you stare at the ground on which it's projected? Do you stare at the object which casts it? Do you stare at the light-source above? At the space between? What would it be without but one…

    By Pelar
    Can any person perceive anything beyond personal perspective? I think not. We touch upon the absolute with our subjectively-gloved palms, processing it into our own reality through nerve-channels and neuron arrays. This is the paradox of subjective co-existence. On the one hand, we and all things are interconnected... tied to…

  • Splatter Vision

    By Pelar
    One of the most basic and most effective skills I've learned is to use "splatter vision" or more scientifically - peripheral vision. In my case, I picked it up from learning tracking, stalking and hunting techniques - as it enables one to detect slight movements in any type of terrain, sometimes even…

  • What Game Are We Playing?

    By Pelar
    Games are fun. Aren't they? An "activity engaged in for diversion or amusement", says the first definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. But if that were truly so, then games would have only been a marginal activity. Instead, games are widespread, enjoy immense social and cultural significance and can be considered…

    By Justin Tallant (Shinobi)
    First when looking to understand the shadow side you must look at the dark and light sides. The dark and light sides are constantly at war with each other over supremacy, there is a reason for this and I will get to it in a moment. The Shadow side has…

  • The Shadow Side?

    By Force Master Andy
    The Shadow side is steeped in mystery, some believe it does not exist and still others believe that the shadow side is where those with no commitment and no spirit dwell. As a new Force Adept begins their great and wide reaching journey towards self discovery and spiritual and physical…

    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…
