**A Focused Training**
It is often said that an unfocused Training in the Force is sure to fail. But there is even a better reason then that for training in one Jedi Order.

People can have an influence on you. And we can’t be sure what they are teaching you, and if it is contradictory to what we teach here.



We can’t check all Jedi Orders out there and see if what they teach is true. As seen in Star Wars, Anakin fell to the Dark Side because he was continually being influenced by Palpatine. He was lied to: Told that he was more important then any Jedi, told about how ruling over others was a good thing, and told how the Dark Side gave a person more knowledge about the Force.

Why they were all lies: -Anakin would have probably been more important as a good Jedi. -Ruling over others takes away from their freedoms and their potential to do good, that is why it is better to serve others. -You can be greater with the Force without having to use the Dark Side.

The reason we don’t want someone to be in more then one Jedi Order is because we don’t want the Jedi being influenced in the wrong way. It is unfair to the Masters teaching their Padawans, and it is unfair to the members of the Order as a Whole. Getting teachings from another Order can be good sometimes if it is good information, but you may feel like you deserve to be a higher rank just for learning more (when of course you still have to prove yourself and earn your rank here).

I have seen many lies out there, and many Orders don’t even take the Force seriously. The Council here is willing to help you with any problems you may have.

Stay focused and be careful who influences you.

Jedi Master, Mi-Zhe Fu
