The Second Lesson

   The Way of Life

"A man is born gentle and weak.
At his death he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap.
At their death they are withered and dry.
Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of life.
Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle.
A tree that is unbending is easily broken.
The hard and the strong will fall.
The soft and weak will overcome." Jedi Lao-Tzu

The Third Lesson    

"Everything in life depends on one another interacting with each other, only when this stable balance ( harmony ) is lost then war breaks lose." Master  Imsi-Kai Mudi

The Fourth Lesson  
 

The only thing that can truly stand in the way of your climb to greatness is yourself. A lack of confidence is your greatest enemy and is truly the ally of the Dark Side.

Who I ask you in all of the galaxy is more an ally to you than yourself? Without that support you will never clash sabers well or wear the title of Jedi. Commit to learning something new each day.

Rise tomorrow and promise yourself to only build up within you that which the galaxy would so readily tear down. Then will we ignite our sabers and begin our training.

The Fifth Lesson  

"Emotions can be of either side. For Jedi, compassion is a strength, a
weakness
according to the Sith while their strength is merciless in which Jedi see
fault. The
two are opposites, when one emotion is used for light, its opposite is used
by the
darkness as it is the other way around.

 Never under estimate the Dark side, for it will be your own undoing. The
power of
the Dark side is strong, never think that light can always chase it away as
it may
be more powerful then your power of light."-Rillus

The Sixth Lesson  

"Do not give in to the temptation of this sith lord, he has used the dark side, use physical training, use controlled aggression, but be careful with anger, know how to quell it, and the opponent will become more angry, clouding vision. A clear mind makes the best decisions." - Barch Watow

The Seventh Lesson  

"The Force is strong when attack is primary,

 the force is stronger when defence is primary" - Veloci Fox

The First Lesson

Your constant struggle against the dark side may be likened to water, for just as flowing water avoids the heights and hastens to the lowlands, so you as a Jedi should avoid the strengths of the dark side and strike at it's weakness.

And as water reshapes itself in accordance to the ground it flows over, so should you approach each situation. For the Jedi there can be no constant form. Neither the day or night is predominant and the seasons are all equal yet never the same. So must a Jedi be.

Structure in one's life is not unimportant. But the Force is a constantly changing, flowing entity and willingness to adjust to the needs of the world as they occur cannot be emphasized enough on the road to Jedi Master.
