=========================== //Zen Jediism// Zen Jediism is what i want my path of the Force to closely adhere to. If you remember my chosen Masteries, they follow the objectives of Zen.

Zen Jedi tend not to oversimplify things, Zen keep things easy and simple. Zen is not just teachings, but also a way of life. One can not fully open up to the worlds experiences if they stay close minded and try to over evaluate things that are much simpler in reality. This is part of what being a Zen Jedi is all about, clearly thinking things through but only as they truly are and not something more complex.

Zen Jedi Masters are pure in form, they do not perform anything they would later regret and they keep they're mind clear of impurities. They are not thinking of the past, they are not thinking of the future, but they are not thinking at all. Zen Jedi are just in the here, and now. Letting thoughts go, if thoughts are to enter their mind, they do not over analyze they just take it as it is and move on.

Zen Jedi are ultimatly seeking enlightenment. This is a goal that one works long and hard for but is worth it in the end. Enlightenment, as i have learned, is not how alot of people would perceive it. Some people see it as a moment when you soul is at it highest point and its glow can be seen from the naked eye(aura). But true enlightenment is simple, like much of what Zen is based on. Enlightenment is when one surpasses their previous goal of knowledge, and when one gains wisdom beyond most others. Enlightenment is when the mind becomes simple, when thoughts are not over analyzed and taken as they are. To live with no regrets, and die knowing all that you could in this life, is ultimate enlightenment.
