The alignment chart above is patterned after the DnD alignment chart.
In this regard I consider myself a Chaotic Neutral Character in the force community. Although some will consider me a force of complete chaos that is just not true.
I am that which could be called a Dark Force User: An individualist who follows their own heart and generally shirts rules and traditions. I promote the ideals of freedom but it is my own freedom that comes first. The ideas of good and evil do not play into this worldview. Morality does not come into my decision making process. I will do "evil" things to justify a "good" outcome for myself. Consider the ideals of Diego Luna from the movie Rogue One. He shot an informant in the alley to protect himself and the secret he had been given by the informant. He killed an otherwise innocent man to protect the goals of what he considered a greater cause.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lawful good
A lawful good character typically acts with compassion and always with honor and a sense of duty. However, lawful good characters will often regret taking any action they fear would violate their code, even if they recognize such action as being good. Such characters include righteous knights, paladins, and most dwarves.
Neutral good
A neutral good character typically acts altruistically, without regard for or against lawful precepts such as rules or tradition. A neutral good character has no problems with cooperating with lawful officials, but does not feel beholden to them. In the event that doing the right thing requires the bending or breaking of rules, they do not suffer the same inner conflict that a lawful good character would.
Chaotic good
A chaotic good character does what is necessary to bring about change for the better, disdains bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement, and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but for others as well. Chaotic good characters usually intend to do the right thing, but their methods are generally disorganized and often out of sync with the rest of society.
Lawful neutral
A lawful neutral character typically believes strongly in lawful concepts such as honor, order, rules, and tradition, but often follows a personal code in addition to, or even in preference to, one set down by a benevolent authority. Examples of lawful neutral characters include a soldier who always follows orders, a judge or enforcer who adheres mercilessly to the letter of the law, and a disciplined monk.
Neutral
A neutral character (also called "true neutral") is neutral on both axes and tends not to feel strongly towards any alignment, or actively seeks their balance. Druids frequently follow this dedication to balance and, under Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules, were required to be this alignment. In an example given in the 2nd Edition Player's Handbook, a typical druid might fight against a band of marauding gnolls, only to switch sides to save the gnolls' clan from being totally exterminated.
Chaotic neutral
A chaotic neutral character is an individualist who follows their own heart and generally shirks rules and traditions. Although chaotic neutral characters promote the ideals of freedom, it is their own freedom that comes first; good and evil come second to their need to be free.
Lawful evil
A lawful evil character sees a well-ordered system as being easier to exploit than to necessarily follow. Examples of this alignment include tyrants, devils, corrupt officials, and undiscriminating mercenary types who have a strict code of conduct.
Neutral evil
A neutral evil character is typically selfish and has no qualms about turning on allies-of-the-moment, and usually makes allies primarily to further their own goals.[9] A neutral evil character has no compunctions about harming others to get what they want, but neither will they go out of their way to cause carnage or mayhem when they see no direct benefit for themselves. Another valid interpretation of neutral evil holds up evil as an ideal, doing evil for evil's sake and trying to spread its influence. Examples of the first type are an assassin who has little regard for formal laws but does not needlessly kill, a henchman who plots behind their superior's back, or a mercenary who readily switches sides if made a better offer. An example of the second type would be a masked killer who strikes only for the sake of causing fear and distrust in the community.
Chaotic evil
A chaotic evil character tends to have no respect for rules, other people's lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel. They set a high value on personal freedom, but do not have much regard for the lives or freedom of other people. Chaotic evil characters do not work well in groups because they resent being given orders and usually do not behave themselves unless there is no alternative. Examples of this alignment include higher forms of undead, such as liches, and violent killers who strike for pleasure rather than profit.

People make the assumption that something exists, some esoteric force, that we can manipulate. This is called subtle energy, or the subtle body, Chi, Prana, Anima, Numa. Systems that manipulate this include such things as Reike. But why make this assumption? Do people come to the correct conclusions but for the wrong reasons? Reike is supposed to take advantage of a universal energy that could be described in similar fashion to "The Force" but that this energy is always benevolent, as in there is no dark aspect to it. But if this force exists why would it be incapable of energetic injury or harm?
Most books of the day seem to glaze over this idea. They do not go nearly deep enough into the nuances of such an idea. It gives the reader just enough information to bring about gullibility but gives no underlying reasons as to why things work as they claim. In the end these become unfounded assertions. It seems naive in the extreme. Why cant Reike be also used to harm even though the teachings of the practice claim this is not possible. Are they lying? Energy is just energy and it seems obvious its manipulation can be bent toward either toward constructive or destructive means. There are no other systems that make this claim. Not energy workers, martial artists, animists, yoga or meditative practices. So why cant it be used to harm or even kill people? Can it be used on the battlefield to defeat the enemy? I don't see why not.
The aura has been described as the focus of this energy in the physical body. Any energy worker outside your own aura can and will manipulate others energy fields with out without the receivers permission if the receiver is not protected. But often times those not even aware of their energy field will instinctively throw up shields and deflect these attacks. Others that do not have this instinct must go to others with the skill to repair energetic injuries and damage. This energetic bio-plazma of the living energy body can be upset so it is imperative that specialized training must be learned to keep this sort of harm from being enacted.
Such ideas as presented here are poetic interpretations of real psychological and emotional damage to the Psyche.

Are meditations or prayer or what have you all just distractions from our perceptions of temptation?
Temptation is the feeling of wanting to do something we should not do. Enacting on such a thing has been termed as sin or an act of veil in the eyes of a grand watcher and judger of the universe. But if we don't feel this temptation as something evil or bad then there is no need for the tool of meditation to alleviate this desire or build our resolve will or resistance to act on this act that is believed to be evil that we will be punished for in some way.
Everyone's idea of temptation is different. For some it may be Sex. For others it may be food, or alcohol, or drugs, anger, hate, love or lust. But objectively speaking none of these things are either good nor bad. They are just parts of who we are as humans. It is our attitude toward them and our treatment of them that make them either a positive or negative influence in our lives. There is no inherant good or evil, dark or light in them. It is simply our view of the action that make them complimentary or derogatory to our psyche.
Of course any of these things, when taken to an extreme, or in excess of gluttony, can be derogatory. But any of these things, when taken in a carefully balanced approach, can also have quite a complementary effect in our lives. This is the idea that there is nothing to fear in our lives. No act that that is universally evil or bad. In this context meditation becomes only a tool to help us bring whatever those things in our lives are that we have a tendency to engage in to the extreme into a better balance in our lives.
So does the acknowledgement of the temptation come first to be followed by the control in meditation? Or does the meditation bring the control required to recognize the temptation in our lives that we may have already acted upon before our minds could be calmed? Food for thought.

All life is sacred, but that does not mean that all life gets to live… or that all life even deserves to live. In this cycle the force is that word or symbol for the principle of order and chaos that we perceive. It is a projection of a structure onto perception. We are pattern seeking creatures rife with cognitive bias and illusion acceptance. This is an idea we must be acutely aware of and take the greatest of care to not fall into that trap of assumption. In other words, it is just as disingenuous to just “makeup” spiritual facts as it is scientific facts without the evidence or proof to support them.  The physical is perceived as subject-object but in actuality all that we see is actually part of a deeply rich and intricately structured set of layers of just one thing. These layers begin with the physical, progress to the consciousness of human experience, then to myth, mysticism, morality and finally culminates in the whole of the self. The self in this regard is not a single entity but a progression of intertwined processes. The universe in this regard has a necessarily natural hierarchy of equality in the fact that there can never be the perfect definition of anything in any aspect of reality. Two people can’t be both the richest people in the world or the most beautiful. Only one will hold this distinction and yet that person is also incapable of ever attaining perfect richness or perfect beauty. A universe cannot exist in which there are more cows than sheep but also more sheep than cows. This is where ambition sets in. The ambition to improve your standing in life, to become better than another. It is a never-ending struggle based in suffering that is necessary for progressive existence to function. In this regard its becomes impossible to create a “perfect universe” in any sort of traditionally applied definition. This would be the idea that all life or even all humans are created perfectly equal. We are not and we never can be. If this were to ever be the case, there would be no progression in life and life would simply cease to exist out of boredom or lack of necessity to exist. A universe without suffering cannot exist as it has no function in nature. This is the very core of the idea that we are all perfect in our imperfections. |

God has been described to me as a transcendent, immaterial, timeless, space-less, eternal, uncaused, maximally powerful entity that created the universe. Furthermore, its been stated that because this entity possesses all these traits, they must also be perfectly good, meaning whatever morality they put forth for the universe it creates must be correct no matter how much one may disagree with it. It seems to me that its actually impossible for such a creature to exist and even if it does how does it interact with the universe and why do we have to accept its morality as absolute?
I do not just accept external standards or morality as correct just because some perceived authority says they are correct. Simple observation of nature shows that morality is an entirely subjective thing. Each of us has an individual view of what we find moral. These become the things we are willing to do and the things we are not willing to do personally. Beyond that we must also function in a society. That society may take the form or a social group or a pack or a tribe or a nation. In looking at this bigger picture it becomes necessary to define some elementary moral baseline upon which to build a set of principles in which all within the group benefit.
The most basic premise in which to undertake developing these set of principles is freedom. From this point we can begin to derive objective standards that benefit all in a society. The individual remains free to do as she pleases as long as it does not infringe on the freedom of another to do as they please. This implies acts such as murder or rape are deemed undesirable as they take from another their free will. However the careful distinction here is that these things are not deemed “universally immoral” only socially unacceptable.

| PASSION
|
| SACRIFICE
|
| BURNOUT
| conflict
| desire | submission | | suffering | obsession | despair | | frustration | motivation | self pity
|
Why do Sith sometimes fall out of the desirable spaces of passion into the undesirable spaces of burnout? It comes down to the reason why Sith pursue a passion. Are they doing it for themselves, as should be the case, or are they doing it for another, which is a false pursuit. Passion is created by desire, obsession and motivation. It is then driven forward by Conflict, suffering and frustration. These three obstacles are met as positive aspects of the pursuit of passion. This manifests as the fight to gain the required strength to overcome them in the pursuit of power over them. Once that power is gained victory is the next step.
This accumulation of strength begins with perseverant focus. This form of focus is built into the core of a Sith that is manifesting true will in the pursuit of their passions. However, when this focus can’t be maintained or is constantly lost, the Sith can slip from the positive side of passion to the negative side of burnout. This is the signal that something is not correct in the Siths application of true will. In other words, something is not right in their life or they are pursuing a passion based on some external influence instead of internal desire. This burnout is a result of the Sith overcompensating or compromising some aspect of their being. This is the result of change that is unnatural to one’s character. |

My life as a Sith is not about being alone or in love, its about the things I survive.
The world breaks everyone. But afterward a Sith realizes they are stronger at those broken places.
Life as a Sith is not about fixing my damage or flaws. Its about the damage itself and how it makes me strong, not weak.
I have survived the bullies and how they made me feel. I cut myself with the dullest blade because it feels the worst.
I know that life because I chose it, chose personal responsibility. But I am not an island and Kamikeeda share that life, the fairy tale love.
But is not a fairy tale. What is love? It’s a hot bath. But what happens when one stays in the water for too long? They begin to get soft and eventually fall apart.
Those who have protected and risked and sacrificed everything are the ring of brightest fires in life.
It’s a war, this life, the things I endure.
Who survives the apocalypse, the lover or the fighter?
I am sold this lie that love will save me. But all it does is make me stupid and weak.
Love isn’t going to save me, love is what I have to save. I must save it.
Pain makes me strong enough to do this. All my scars, my anger, my despair… its armor.
Goddess loves the sinners best because their fire burns the brightest.
Burn with me.

Meditative ritual builds the will and focuses it to a laser point. It sharpens the motivation and develops the memory. I have this need to know what is on the other side of that line. I realize the only way to know what is there, is to cross it. Those that have never had a point to their lives and exist in a place where they have never crossed the line, live a life of terror.
Fire is a natural part of my existence. But playing with fire and the abyss is dangerous and it will burn. I have had three crushing blows in my life. But each of these blows were not the fault of an external entity. Many facing these issues will blame others, but not I. I take responsibility for all that occurs in my life. Meritorious promotion – rebellion killed it, MUSE factory promotion – arrogance killed it, astro career – fear and insecurity killed it.
But each time I rebuilt myself, made myself better, stronger than before. The Shetland pony transformed into the motorcycle each time. I am in all of this. I am the darkness and I am the light. I am the sunshine and the storm. I am here in my laugh and I am here in my pain. I am the reason for everything meaningful. I am the only “why”. And I do not exist without this.
I am the dominated and I am the dominator. I want to be forced into submission; I will not go willingly. I want to be conquered like an invading army conquers a kingdom. My final act will be to completely bring my conquest to heel, to forcefully take that kingdom queen, first physically and then emotionally. The physical act brings about the emotional bond through the acquisition of respect earned of the one that bested her. And then we are one.

Forcing all people into equality, as a socialist state would do, is not fair. None of us are created equal. Some excel and others faulter in an endless myriad of ways and talents. People try to pretend there is some form of collective consciousness that we can all tap into to gain unlimited knowledge or even information about future or past events. But we don’t share any other part of our makeup in this way. For example, we don’t share a collective stomach as breatharians would assert. So why should I accept there is a collective mind? The individual is the ultimate minority, sharing nothing but experience. Even that is interpreted individually. When speaking of such things with others it becomes obvious there is a time for sympathy and a time for empathy. The first is a statement of sorrow, the second is a statement of understanding. They don’t tear others down negatively but are designed to reduce the ego and listen to the criticism. IQ vs EQ. Follow this process A – activating event B – belief about the event causes one to be upset) C – consequence (one might get sad) D – dispute (question the belief) E – effect (how to rationally approach “A”)
Free Will - agency, The conscious will to act to make a specific decision
Determinism - Awareness of ones inability to change the course of their life
Conscious awareness must be undertaken to enact free will and not just lead a determined life
Nihilism - Nothing exists Existentialism - search for true meaning - free will, dont impose beliefs on others Solipsism - Only you exist

HUMANS
Race – Grouping based on shard physical or social qualities that are viewed as distinct by society. Race is associated with Biology (physical characteristics – skin color, hair texture etc)
Ethnic Group – (nationality) People who identify with each other based on similarities such as language, ancestry, history, society, culture or nation. Ethnicity is associated with cultural expression and identification.
Both are social constructs used to categorize and characterize distinct populations.

ON HUMAN POTENTIAL
Plato, Socrates, Aristotle
SITH - The Dark side of the New Age
Strength is the intensity of belief used to withstand pressure in mental physical and emotional forms. Tenacity is determination Perseverance is ability to fluidly change what is necessary to keep moving forward in focus to success. this is good
Persistence is to statically keep doing something regardless of results. this is bad
Work harder and longer on an issue and be intelligent in this - dont give up but do not repeat mistakes
Where are you going? what is the plan to get there? Do you have some imperative to achieve? Does it lead to a happier life? Are you capable of achieving it? If you are, did you achieve it? If not, just because we may have the potential do we have the moral obligation to enact it?
Consider Human potential as an individual versus Human Potential as a species. Do you participate in both?
TIME BASED Balance is consistency over time, the younger you are when you begin the better. - do not cram
1. Single Focus - Passion or Desire 2. Opportunity - Self created through action 3. Perseverance - Consistent and evolving work 4. 10,000 hours of practice - become the master - a form of cognitive complexity unmatched by others
IQ It has nothing to do with ability to achieve Anyone with a 120 IQ can learn complex math for example - you just need to put in the time It is an entrance criteria not one of excellence Environment has more to do with success than intelligence does How did you grow up? wealthy? poor? what did you do about it?
EQ Some are geared toward academics - some to real life career How good are you at exploiting your Capitalization Rate of Potential? Cultural background - Too rich, less motivated - too poor, less opportunity. How did you overcome these?
I put in my 10,000 hours in my field 2 years - Technician 1 year - VAR Technician
3 years - Engineer - Fiber, cable, switching - CNE 8 years - Sr Engineer - Routing, sales, training - CCNP
8 years - Specializing - special systems, FW, VSS, LB, DNS 8 years - Architecture - design

The Bullshit of the NEW AGE
CBT - Cognitive Behavior Training - Generally a Good thing to take into consideration as a Sith as it is self promoting and can be molded to the individual
NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming - complete bullshit. Sith are not "Programmed" and dont follow "systems of control". This is pseudo-science
EST - Erhard Seminars Training - Uses Socratic Interrogation, Cold and Hot reading to uncover emotional vulnerability - This is Manipulation. avoid it at all cost
Scientology - Another form of EST
NXIVM - Cult, desire to recruit, De-emphasizes reason in favor of feeling and action that is coerced.
HPM - Human Potential Movement - Cultivates extraordinary potential believed to lie largely untapped in all people. Tapping into this allows humans to experience exceptional quality of life fulled with happiness, creativity and fulfillment. designed to bring about social change. The idea that we all have unbounded potential lacks any evidence. some have greater ability than others, we are not all equals. potential is not something to develop, it is something to enact through self determination and ability to succeed. (see prior post). these sorts of things are a waste of time and money and effort. The common misconception that Humans only use 10% of their brain is not true. Humans use 100% of the brain, different parts for different functions.
Maslow - self actualization pyramid. Nothing in the experience of life is totally dedicated to just one level of the pyramid. we all exist at all times on every level. the premise of Maslows pyramid is false.
The Secret, What the Bleep do we know - complete crap. wishing for something gets you nothing and pretending things are the way you want them to be instead of the way they actually are is insanity.
CONCEPTS Uri Geller - fake Quantum Woo - taking physics and twisting it into new age garbage to support unfounded claims Self Help Groups, seminars, books, speakers - avoid at all costs, they are fulfilling their potential only in taking your money and stealing your time.
Primal scream therapy, encounter group therapy, re-birthing, self help - all forms of brainwashing through verbal abuse, sleep deprivation, denial of necessities, and nourishment.
BREAK THE CYCLE Dont play a role for convenience or comfort, Even if that gets you ostracized from certain communities like these hypocritical Jedi and Sith communities.

THOUGHTS ON FREEDOM
Seeking enslavement is easy - Adopting "systems of control" is the path to enslavement.
Seeking Freedom is hard - Adopting "Structured Personal Evolving Methodologies" is the path to freedom. The most successful people undertake this work, It is incredibly hard personal work that is independent of any external "system of control" presented.
Keep in mind its impossible to get rid of all systems of control. Some must be endured, but be absolutely sure you know which ones are relevant and more importantly why they are relevant to your progress.
STRUCTURED PROCESSES OF CONTROL
No one can teach you "human Potential". All they are teaching you is their Doctrine!
Cults have doctrines like this.
Religions have doctrines like this. "Gurus" and self proclaimed "masters" have doctrines like this.
Don't shed personal systems but do shed doctrines such as these.
Systems (as in Personal Methodologies) can evolve, doctrines cannot.
Systems of control = DOCTRINES = Enslavement
PERSONAL PROCESSES Structured personal evolving methodologies = FREEDOM They are capable of growth by taking what works from education, experience, wisdom, insight, inspiration and intuition and leaving what does not work in a never ending evolution of ideas.
I never bought into the whole Jedi/Sith Life I worked their programs under my personal structured methodology but I never embraced them as they are veiled forms of doctrine that are enforced by maniacal, self appointed, self help buffoons. As I worked those doctrines I realized I had already exceeded the expectations and the restrictions of the programs.
Leave the path when it no longer serves. That is a personal system of freedom.

The new year prevails and yet the sheep are still sheep and the few wolves are still wolves.
The turning of a day that is marked by one number rolling to the next is meaningless. 2020 had less to do with its legacy than a rock, driven by physics, rolling down a hill. Dont blame the rock, blame yourselves.
If you failed to accomplish last year it was not the years fault. It was not the viruses fault. It was your fault. Your excuses are pathetic.
This place remains a bastion of excellence, a refuge of outstanding achievement, a haven for the elite. I'm not here to coddle you. Do you want greatness. I am not the one that can give that to you. I am but a resource. You are the one that needs to take up the tool and use it.
Who are you? Are you able? Even more so, are you fucking willing to even try? If not, you disgust me.
