Cause and Effect

As Light Side Jedi, we are especially in tune with the Force moving around us. But even more than we are in tune with the living Force, we must be in tune with the proper practices, uses, and procedures inherent in its utilization. Perhaps the best way to describe the force in common terms would be the use of the word "chi", the life-essence in Oriental cultures. This, like the Force, is a moving, living energy field, which flows through us. Positive practices have a positive effect, and negative practices have a negative effect. This is much the same as with the Force. The reason that the Light Side Jedi promote peace, harmony, and non-violent means to a solution is that any time you use a negative reaction to a situation, it has an effect on you. The more that you utilize actions that are leaning more to the Dark side, the more you lean towards that Dark Side. That taken into account, if you use actions that are of the Light Side, you become more of the Light Side. They are relative to one another...the action you take, and the effect it has on you. So the most important thing to work on, as a Light Side Jedi student, is learning to control yourself, and find positive solutions to problems that you may have. Through this method of solving problems, you enhance your own understanding of the force, and enhance your ability to use the Light side of the force.

May the force be with you, and may you use it wisely.
