~~I think we need a new order: The Jedith, hybridyzed teachings of both Jedi and Sith. There is no Light without Shadow and vice versa. You must understand the fullness of the circle and your path in the end is all about intention. Always was, but to make a choice in ignorance of half the truth isn't a very informed choice.

Re: New Order
Fri, January 20, 2006 - 6:19 PMYou have been blinded by your fears, Bonnie. There isn't enough information given to make such a judgement on SpinningMonkey.
CAN Day exixt without Night?
CAN Summer exist without Winter?
CAN Masculine exist without Feminie?
CAN Yang exist without Yin?
All of Creation has polarity. To deny one is to be out-of-balance. Our focus determines our reality, as Qui Gon Jinn teaches us... which means that if we FOCUS on fear, anger, or hate then THAT's what our experience will BE. Similarly, if we focus on patience, joy, or compassion then THAT's what our experience will be. Further, if we focus ONLY on the one and completely DENY the other, then we limit our understanding of the Whole, and our experience of being complete.
Creator gave us ALL of our emotions. Anger and fear, joy and sadness... these aren't good or bad, they're a part of WHO WE ARE. If we deny such things as anger, jealousy, or fear, then THAT's EXACTLY where we find ourselves REPEATEDLY-- because we've put a barrier there, without effectively CHANNELING the energy, denying ourselves (and those around us) true healing. And those unresolved emotions WILL leak out-- either as covert hostility, passive-aggressiveness, or possibly even full-blown violence. These "darker" emotions CAN be experienced (though they need not always be expressed-- just experienced) and flushed away with no harm to anyone-- LESS harm, actually, than keeping it all inside and pretending it doesn't exist.
If we cannot accept our own moment-to-moment emotional experience, then how can we accept the larger Truth of who we are and what we came here to be?
I think that SpinningMonkey is just more of a Qui Gon Jinn sort-of Jedi-- about BALANCE and the LIVING Force-- as opposed to the more dogmatic, polarized sort-of Jedi. To say that SpinningMonkey is falling or trying to infiltrate is like saying that all Druids, Taoist Monks, and the like shall be cast eternally into lakes of fire and brimstone because they have a wider vision of harmony than some of the more intolerant beliefs.
BUT, for all I know, there's some uptight evangelist in the audience tonight who now thinks that I'M going to hell in a handbag, too. I mean no disrespect to anybody. Just sharing. -

Sun, January 22, 2006 - 10:18 AM~Bonnie, your sole interest on your profile is stated as 'world domination' and you are here 'seeking worthy minions'. Fascinating...for a Jedi and one so full of fear. The only true, potent mastery is self-mastery~
Namaste (my perfect balanced being in the Force greets and honors yours),

Re: New Order
Thu, February 2, 2006 - 2:16 PMIn my truth there is not light side or dark side of the force. Seeing it is only an illusion.
Why would something as all powerful as the force choose sides?
In the novels they speak of an ancient being who is, I suppose, a Jedi. Yet she is of neither light or dark force and simultaneously both.
I feel that in this day and age we must have a slight focus on the light to get to a point of balance.
Then we can be Masters of this new order you have in mind. -

Fri, February 3, 2006 - 10:27 PMyou guys read zen?
All jedi would be very benifited by reading the works of Alan Watts. especially 'THe way of Zen' - get that duality shit right out of the way. -

Re: New Order
Tue, February 7, 2006 - 4:21 PMyoure both right. theres this one thing about how when students are havingword games about the nature of 'the way' trying to defeat eachother with debate - then in kind of shows how far they are from understanding the ACTUAL nature of the way.
maka sensa?
I agree with the original posts provoking to a less dualistic view of the jedi, force etcetera, I was trying to tone in some actual human discovery on the matter.
I think at present, we face a definate imbalance towards the dark side.. . and what does that mean to the rest of you? -

Re: New Order
Tue, February 7, 2006 - 6:46 PM"Your insight serves you well."
Balance IS. If we are to be seen as in the thick of the Dark, know, then, that we shall eventually return to the Light.
CONSCIOUS INTENTION to change the world THROUGH TRANSFORMING OUR PERCEPTIONS OF IT will bring back the Balance you speak of.
Or, it will simply return without our doing, and without US. Sometimes, though, it's hard to imagine balance and harmony without our self-glorified, humanistic hand MAKING it so.

Re: New Order
Tue, February 7, 2006 - 10:09 PMyes. nice.
however, our natural inclination to maintain a certain equilibrium of that balance(that many organisms surf and exist on) is I think a unique, natural and valid voice of the force.
The wish for and inclination for immortality ie: stability may very well lead to the ultimate destruction of this planet's so-far-acumulated life intellegence. Doesn't it then behoove us to restore the balance at a stage of less severe consequences? -

Re: New Order
Wed, February 8, 2006 - 2:11 AMIndeed ao, indeed so. No doubt.
I'm glad you agree. I'm not quite sure where your "however" fits in there, but as far as I know wer'e on the same page.
I meant that *I* personally don't neccessarily veiw things as unbalanced towards the Dark. There are wonderous energies that have snowballed through the ages to the very moments that we are literally cresting the crux of RIGHT NOW! All this intensity carries the vibrational frequency that can catalyst human consciousness into an amazing new paradigm... it's all frenetic... you and EVERYONE can feel it... the force that will launch us out of this "plateau" in the evolutionary timeline. But we needn't discuss that, right now. My point is that I do not share your perception that there is an imbalance towards the Dark Side. I didn't want to disagree with you, though, so I gave a gentle, optomistic promise that Light will return if we ARE to consider ourselves off-balance towards the Dark. More light will come (and 'fix' the percieved imbalance) whether we take responsibility for BECOMING THE CHANGE WE WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD, or not.
If we do NOT begin APPLYING all these wonderful messages we write about, then I fear that we just won't be around for the Great Changes to come. There are much greater things at stake here than just humanity. An intelligence far greater and much more complex-- one that we ARE a valuable (but not neccessary) part of-- will do what is neccessary for it's survuival. And Balance will be returned.
I completely agree that we have an obligation to become our Highest Vision, and to mainifest our visions of peace and Light-- Here and Now on this Earth plane, that we may minimize furhter calamiity, and heal the woulds of the Earth and her peoples. -

Re: New Order
Wed, February 8, 2006 - 12:11 PMagreed.
I hate to say this, but Im going to have to reference the 2nd trilogy as a source of relevant knowledge of the force - it is a fear of death that im referring to in the above message.
As a human culture, mainly western human culture, the fear of death is motivating society to move forward 'inhibiting' growth/discovery/evolution = your plateau that you mentioned. We work to sculpt form and restrict change in order to secure life/escape death. I guess Im working to bring into the discussion the need for us to embrace our destruction/decay as individuals in order to maintain the health of the 'system'.
None of my inquiry is designed to contradict your sentiment.
I would agree to with the original poster for this thread- that the major fear of the 'other side' is an issue - in todays reality, I would conclude that the fear of the 'otherside' is whats most responsible for MANIFESTING the 'otherside'. ie: WARFARE to prevent a war.

Re: New Order
Sat, March 18, 2006 - 7:59 AM~There is a place without names, without titles, without intricate codes of conduct or dogmatic adherance to a limited vision. A place where one experiences all life in the moment, clearly and directly and with integrity of self, following inner stirrings as to action or inaction. Examine all things but in the end find your own Way, as that will be the perfect Way for you. To name a thing is to limit a thing; to adhere to stringently to 'I am this' limits your overall growth as you might do well to encoumpass certain aspects of the unspoken "I am not *that*'. This is a teaching of the Living Force (yes, I know...but I had to name it outwardly to convey a sense of it :)~
