From a Certain Point of View: The Philosophy of a Force Realist

To recap In season 3 Episode 15 of The Clone Wars titled "Overlords", Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano were led to a group of beings called The Ones via a Jedi distress call not used in over 2000 years. There Anakin met with the Daughter who was strong and encapsulated the light side of the force. From there she separated him From his companions and led Anakin to meet "The Father", the one who kept the balance between the light and the dark, "The Daughter" and "The Son" who encapsulates the Dark side In short it becomes obvious that "The Father" Is growing old and needs to find "The Chosen One", enter Anakin Skywalker. After a trial of loyalties between choosing between Obi-Wan or Ahsoka from being killed by The Fathers children, Anakin chose to save both Ahsoka and Obi-Wan showing that he does have the power to tame both the light and the dark however when the Father asks Anakin if he will take his place th...

Both Jedi and Sith alike have prophecies that were supposed to be filled when it comes to the Force, that some great spiritual warrior would come about and bring balance to the Force, but the Force was already balanced. It has always been balanced and only perceptions of the Jedi and Sith viewed it as unbalanced brought the unbalance. There is no balance to be brought. That is what Yoda is trying to teach Luke and that is what Luke is going to teach Rey, Burning of the tree was the Illumination from the old archaic ways of the Jedi and Sith into a new philosophy that the Force is non polarized and there really is no light or dark and that good and evil are only ideas in the heart of the individual force user. So too in our real world there is really no good or evil. Just perceptions and ideas of what we view as good and evil. We define something that is non polarized, the only difference between people we view as evil people is that our moral compasses are just tuned differ...

First I would like to say before viewing The Last Jedi I did have expectations but I let them go in order to view the film in an unbiased way. From a aesthetic view of the film I can't lie I was a little let down by the movie, I felt it lacked scope and it felt kind of bland in color, however in story and character development I have to say I love the direction that Disney/Lucasfilm is taking the Star Wars Universe. I hear people now complain about The Last Jedi being a Edgy-Socio commentary and with this I have one thing to say. In the words of Master Yoda in TLJ. "We are what they grow beyond, that is the burden of all masters."  To me this sums up the new film and the direction that the future films are going. Disney and Lucasfilm know that somewhere along the lines that Star Wars has to evolve to fit with modern day philosophical thought to stay relevant and not to keep rehashing the past. It is safe to say I believe that the days of Death Stars and Death St...

Article by Therrien Xavier   -Lesson for today-   If you have to bully your way into trying to make a point, chances are your probably wrong. In a Facebook debate that I had today with someone we will let remain anonymous. I learned a very important and valuable lesson. Some times pride stands in the way of logical thinking. Pride can be a good thing but if you have to much it can go to your head and over inflate your ego. I won't go into specifics of the conversation as it is not really that important as much as the lesson to be learned is. When we are debating with people we need to try and see things from all sides in an unbiased manner, and exercise a calm and collected demeanor. Yes I will admit that I have had my own problems with this before and occasionally I have lost my cool. But lets just say for instance that someone is pressing your buttons, purposely trying to get under your skin. What are we to do in this moment? Say we have done everythin...

Article by Therrien Xavier. When we look into the mystery that we call the Force, one of our most damning blockages is fear, fear of the unknown and the unexpected. But what if we could use fear to our own advantage? What if fear isn't something to really fear at all? From a very narrow and dogmatic Jedi point of view fear is the path to the dark side, fear leads hate and hate leads to suffering. But this isn't about Jedi or Sith no we are moving on, ever flowing with the Force. I tell you now that fear can be one of your most powerful allies and you can use fear to manifest things in life that you never thought were possible. Through the Force we seek to help others and that is fine and dandy but there comes a time when we need to help ourselves, the dogmatic view in Jedi Philosophy is that a Jedi is to be selfless and that is simply (Not Healthy) both mentally, physically, & spiritually sometimes we have to a little selfish. Have you ever had a time where you sat ...

Article by Therrien Xavier. Let me say first and foremost that I am "Not" a martial artist. But not being a martial artist does not mean that there is nothing to gain from Master Bruce. Bruce Lee's Philosophy of Non-Form makes up the basic outline of my own personal philosophy. I do not settle on one set idea or belief as there is always room for improvement whether that be physical, mental or spiritual we can improve ourselves by remaining in a constant state of change and adaptability. Bruce's philosophies are some of the most profound philosophies that we can apply in our everyday lives to grow past the boundaries of who we are by using no way as a way and no limitation as limitation meaning that our limitations are what we make of them. Master Bruce also believed in being one's self and to always express yourself and always have faith in yourself. He began at starting at the root of who we are and asking ourselves "How can I be me?" I thi...
