Jedi Code: Fifth Precept
So shall we do the fifth and final precept? There is no death, there is the Force. Many of our leading contemporary scientists in neuropsychology, and as social science advocates of something they call terror management theory, basically all human behaviour as it is exhibited today, is driven by a fear of death. So we either…

Jedi Disciplines
I will touch upon two Jedi disciplines, briefly, by way of explanation of the precepts. The first practice is control. This is ultimately mastering the Force as it is embodied within you. Understanding the Force that manifests as your own being. It’s what allows for experiences like being in the zone, but it can allow…

Sith Code: Passion, Strength, Power
Last, we spoke of the Jedi code / Jedi spirituality. Each statement of the code : refers not to individuals, but to the force / life principle / anthropic principle itself. The most fundamental conclusion of the Jedi is that underlying everything is a peaceful spirit, that ultimately everything seeks to live in harmony and…

Sith Code: Action Statement
Shall we move on to the next statement of the Sith code? Through power, I gain victory. We seek many things in life. We strive to solve our problems the best we can. Do any of our problems stay solved for very long, really? Nope. When I solve a problem, usually someone else comes along…
-
Sith Code: Through Victory
The next Sith statement is … Through victory, my chains are broken. How much of a sense of agency do you have in your life? Do you really feel responsible or in charge of what goes on? Does it feel like the world itself is using you? I sometimes have to get angry to get…
-
Sith Code: Path of Freedom
The last statement of the Sith code is … The force shall free me. Life moves to make better and stronger living things, promote adaption and evolution. All the suffering and confusion ultimately serves the greater good of life itself, and the choice to sink or swim is up to the individual. There is no…

Sith and Jedi Paths
Would you say the Sith path is evil? I wouldn’t. Is the Jedi path genuinely, completely good? Not as you describe it, but they do tend to blow up planets. Yes, there is that potential. The Jedi get twisted as well. Arguably, Jedi also tend to let planets get blown up, leaving it up to…

Nightsisters of Dathomir
Today, we are talking about the model of the Force and spiritual principles held by the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Like real world shamanism, they view the force as a web of life, everything in the physical world drawing strength, as well as essential nature, from the Force which the Nightsisters see as the spirit world.…

Nightsisters Talent & Training
The Dathomiri witch clans originally received their training in the Force from a renegade Jedi named Allya, and the various witch clans do not all subscribe to the same tradition of magick/Force use. Originally, Allya taught them to use the force in a way that was the reason the Jedi removed her from their order,…

Nightsisters View of the Force
So yes, the Nightsisters see no real difference between the healing influence of the Winged Goddess and the strengthening influence of the Fanged God. Together, they are seen as the essence of natures vigour, and not unlike the Mikyo monks of Japan, Nightsisters undergo periodic periods of isolation in the Dathomir wilderness as they do…

Model of Tao
Today we are talking about Taoism and biology, perhaps more specifically the Tao of biology. The idea that time had a beginning and moves in a linear fashion gives rise to a notion that life actually follows rules or heuristics of some sort. In your experience is this at all true, really? It seems more…

Genetic Drift
We are all familiar with the tooth and claw model of evolution. Even if its basis in concrete science is questionable, it has been adopted as a cultural value, one that still poisons us to this day. But there is another phenomena that plays into the theory of natural selection. The genetic replication process is…

No Death
They have yet to quantify life essence though attempts were made a few centuries ago to weigh the body before and after death to measure the soul. There has recently been a well documented and controlled case of NDE (near death experience). It was covered in a reputable magazine, but it will likely still remain…

Footprint of Resistance
The reason for biodiversity is simple, and the concept of entropy is proving more and more to be a falsehood. Everything that is possible must be expressed, and everything that is expressed must be expressed in the context of every other possible thing. If you remove or block any single thing (if that were even…

One With Tao
Taoism is Gnostic. They believe that your primary access to the Tao, and experience of the Tao, is through attention to your own nature, to your own behaviour. They believe that human beings are naturally compassionate beings, peace loving, and that other behaviour only arises to the degree that the person learns and begins practising…

Chinese Internal Alchemy
Neidan is Chinese internal alchemy. It’s a Taoist practice originally, and has played a fundamental roll in their traditional medicine up to the present day. It could be viewed as a meditative practice, as opposed to waidan, which relates to medicines as we commonly think of them these days, herbs and such. The primary concern…

Theosophical Thinking
This is kind of a difficult topic so please bare with me. Theosophy is originally another term for theology. It is in fact a very old term. The original discussions of theosophy and its relevance stem from a world view that saw the concept of divinity as both a devotional and a naturalistic issue. Many…

Core Principles of Theosophical Thought
So we can touch on the core principles of theosophical thought if you wish. The first principle behind theosophical thinking is correspondence. Long story short, in Christianized terms, the words of god were continually functioning in the universe around us and could be read and explored by someone with the right understanding. Everything was an expression…
Category: World Belief
On my spiritual path I have studied many world beliefs. While I don’t claim to be an authority on them, I will share some of what I’ve learned in the ‘World Beliefs’ category. Perhaps they will inspire you to seek further.
Those who abandon their faith are not faithless. Perhaps quite to the contrary, their faith has given them the strength to abandon trappings. Religion from the Latin religio meaning practice. We will all have practices. I was very devout myself, and in my devotion I found I could no longer devote myself to that creed. My faith isn’t weak. It motivates my seeking. I don’t subscribe to any specific faith. I find truth in my personal experience which does loosely label me a Gnostic. Many Gnostic schools say the logos indwells our sun itself.
The Buddhas wisdom was put into the context of the greater way as was the only way it could be, but in fact the symbolism is at best intuitively true. The spheres exist within us. Wisdom is simple. It is the sign of true knowing. Not if they can spout arcane jargon, but can they take an arcane topic and make it abundantly clear to the uninitiated.
I will state that these beliefs discussed are not necessarily my beliefs.
“There is not enough religion in the world to destroy the world’s religious.” Friedrich Nietzsche
