Book Of The Jedi THE JEDI CODE Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy. Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attach others. Jedi respect all life, in any form. Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy. Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training. Philosophies Of The Jedi Knights There is no emotion ~ there is peace. There is no ignorance ~ there is knowledge. There is no passion ~ there is serenity. There is no death ~ there is the FORCE. The Jedi Rules Patience: Relax, be passive, realize that knowledge first appears in unexpected form. The enemy is not within: Trust that the conflict with "the enemy" is a totally unreal creation of your imagination. Power is in the mind: Know that life and power are entirely in your mind. To use the Force the Jedi must remain at harmony with it. To act in dissonance depletes his power. The Force is created and sustained by life. The Jedi acts to preserve life. To kill is wrong. Often killing is necessary and unavoidable. The Jedi may kill in selfdefence or the defence of others. He may kill if, by doing so, he preserves the existance of life. But he must know, always, that killing is wrong. When he kills, he commits a crime against the Force. Though he may know that he does so for the greater good, and the greater good justifies his act, he also knows that the death remains as a stain upon his spirit. A jedi does not act for personal power or wealth, but seeks knowledge and enlightenment. Where wealth and power is needed to achieve the goals set for the Jedi, wealth is needed to purchase material; power is required to obtain the help of others. The Jedi is not interested in wealth and power for its material benefits and advantages, and will surrender it once the goals are achieved. A Jedi does not grasp at power. A Jedi is not a dominator, not an opressor. To grasp at power is to abandom the Ways of the Force. Such a one ceases to know the Force, except in his Dark Side. To grasp at power is to take up the path that leads to destruction. The Dominator is the enemy, yes. But the Jedi do not use the dark powers of the Dominator against him. A jedi never acts out of hatered, anger, fear, or aggression, but acts when calm and at peace with the FORCE. A jedi never overlooks Point of View. A jedi never prejudges. To act from anger is to court the Dark Side, to risk everything for which the Jedi stands.
