The+Force

=The Force= The force is a powerful ally and a very real one. Though it is not as flashy or powerful as is seen in the movies, it is incredibly useful and still worth every bit as much training. Here is our compiled information and Teachings on the force.


 * Overview**

-Yoda- || The force is indeed a powerful ally. One not to be underestimated, and not to be used casually. For Jedi it is a part of growth, and improvement. From life to death a companion. From beginning to end a central part of the dedication to being a Jedi. -Yoda- || Like any other talent, object, choice, and gift the force can be misused. This is highly dangerous and the responsability attached to using the force should never be underestimated. Bad choices, and foolish actions made in conjunction with the force can destroy you more completely than you can imagine. There is a dark side in the force. Energy in the force that stems from anger, hatred, or other dark emotions. This energy is dangerous and much less stable. Yoda: //No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.// Luke: //But how am I to know the good side from the bad?// Yoda: //You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.// || That right there is the difference between the light and dark. Emotion and personality. Jedi try not to use them, Sith tend to take every inch they can get.
 * //Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.//
 * //Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.//
 * Luke: //Is the dark side stronger?//
