=Darkness Without Form (Sith Omnipresence)= (By Darth Affliction) (Return to Teachings)

One of the most effective and masterful tricks of the darkness is the ability to create illusions and false perceptions in others. This is not done by lying. It is done by helping the thoughts of others to turn in the desired direction on their own. All you need to do is lead someone to believe that the enemy is somewhere else and they will chase ghosts. Using this principle you may cast deceit, separatism, and misunderstandings into your enemy’s midst and watch them destroy themselves and each other without ever risking yourself. Remember that in the darkness you are your own worst enemy. Every person must face themselves and few know this. If you give them everything they need to destroy themselves and show them the enemy they will stab themselves in the heart and call you friend with their last breath. This is the first step.

The second is to assume formlessness. Never take credit for your real actions or take a spot in the limelight. In order to be invisible you must simply stand where no one will look. If a person will never suspect their friends than stand among them and whisper death into their ear but never be the clear opponent. A clear and open opponent can be fought or overcome no matter how powerful. But an invisible opponent cannot be.

Third assume the guise of all darkness. Now that you are invisible and sewing destruction among the ranks of your opponents you must use your most beautiful tool to cast the entire atmosphere into darkness. You must create an opponent for your enemies that cannot be found, but possesses all of the power and evils that will scare the enemy. When you create such a phantom and convince them of this phantom they will start looking for him and you are not that being looming on the horizon so they will never see you coming. Furthermore the acts committed by this enemy will scare them. When fear is in the air, the dark is in full sway and your seeds of destruction are not hard to plant.

Finally when you have poisoned your enemy and caused him to destroy himself most of the way you should finish them off very carefully in one fell beheading swoop and be sure the enemy is dead. This may be an embarrassment or an actual death. Before doing this you should however create an excuse for your character to be gone. If the enemy should ever question why you didn’t die like the rest they must have a sure reason.

When you are thinking of a good example of this look to Darth Sidious and his masterful work. Remember though, never to create yourself as the opponent if you can help it. That was his mistake. That was why luke could find and eventually destroy the emperor. Had he used a fake evil to rule he would never have failed.

This fictitious evil shadow is your destroyer of worlds. Using your agents and your manipulations you will be able to cause incredible amounts of damage all under one name and with that name you will also inspire fear. You will be able to be in many places at once, both everywhere and nowhere at once, and never risk yourself. This is the secret to becoming omnipresent and this is as close as anyone can get to becoming like the darkness itself. Immortal.
