Passion
(By Mastorn)

Greetings,

I have been doing a great deal of meditating concerning passion and the Force. I believe that most of us are familiar with the "code of the sith" often presented publicly. Passion is the key of this code, but what is ment by passion? I don't think that what drives control of the force is the simple passion of our everyday lives. As a matter of fact, these passions can quite often be a hinderence to one getting what they want. An example of this is the individual seeking carnal satisfaction whom becomes so obsessed with their passion that they become a pervert whom isn't desirable to anyone. This is perhaps where many become lost. They become obsessed and loose control of their passion. This passion then makes them a slave.

Passion is a tool. I like to think of passion as the small spark which can start a much greater fire of Will. Our casual passions are only useful in them leading up to something greater. Here we reach an important realization that everyone must make when treading the path of the Sith. What we once were is only a steping stone to our greater selves. This change between our previous selves to future selves becomes constant and eventually becomes a single flame of our Self. In this fire of our evolution the sorce of the dark side can be found. When we strive to be greater than ourselves then we can touch that essence of the force, and the essence of our Self. -Mastorn(of the F.A)
