The Jedi Code For Personal Development

How to become a real life Jedi

Lets take a look at the Jedi code and see how accurate it is for living a life of developing yourself. First let me show you the Jedi code.

“There is no emotion, there is peace”

“There is no ignorance, there is knowledge”

“There is no passion, there is serenity”

“There is no chaos, there is harmony”

“There is no death, there is the force”

Let’s unpack that line by line.

“There is no emotion. there is peace.”

This implies that emotions are something to repress and only cause you stress. While yes that happens a lot you also need your emotions to guide you sometimes. Without healthy emotions we just become a robot. But there is also value in maintaining your emotions to not let them get the better of you so you can live in a calm and peaceful way

“There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.”

I really like this one, while you cannot possibly know everything in the world this is a great mantra to remember, its very important that we don’t ignore things when we can instead learn and grow. Instead of ignoring everything start asking why.

“There is no passion, there is serenity.”

Serenity is something you want to absolutely have but most of the time you need to find your passions in order to do that. Passions are good but you also need to avoid toxic passions and make sure you never get too caught up with your passions. Balance is vital.

“There is no chaos, there is harmony.”

There is chaos in the world but you shouldn’t focus on it or make anymore that already exists, harmony is what keeps the rhythm of life

“There is no death, there is the force.”

This emphasizes the importance of holism an holistic thinking. While i’m not saying your going to become a force ghost or anything, there is more to the world than just you.

We can also look at the sith code as it has some interesting points as well.

Here is the sith code

“Peace is a lie, there is only strength”

“Through passion I gain strength”

“Through strength I gain power”

“Through power I gain victory”

“Through victory, my chains are broken”

“Peace is a lie there is only strength”

This isn’t completely true but I get where they are coming from, everything is ruled by force and strength at a basic level, but that doesn’t mean that peace doesn’t exist or is possible. Peace is wonderful.

“Through passion I gain strength”

This is the best part of the sith code as it acknowledges that passions do in fact give you strength if you find what you are truly passionate about. Your passions can take you to great places, but remember that there is more to life than your passions.

“Through strength I gain power”

This one is pretty cut and dry as when you develop and grow yourself you become more than you were previously, your now more skilled and knowledgeable after strengthening yourself.

Just don’t use your powers to help the sith.

“Through power I gain victory”

I suppose this one depends on who is using their power and for what purpose, power for the sake of power or seeking it out of fear of control is almost always never a good thing. But if you are progressing with a positive goal in mind then victory is your mile marker of progress.

“Through victory my chains are broken”

Accomplishing things wont inherently break your chains or make you feel happy or fulfilled but if you begin to target the right things and address problems at the root that will eventually lead you to a path where you will feel as though your chains are broken.

“The force shall free me”

This encourages one to control their own life and choices and to live a life of self empowerment. Tapping into your own soul to work, grow and develop yourself and overcome the obstacles of life.

Like most things in life its not the Jedi who are always right nor is it the sith, they are both sometimes right and for different reasons. They both require eachother to fully understand the force. The Jedi have pieces to the greater puzzle as do the sith, the magic happens when you embrace the best of both philosophy’s and implement them into your own daily life.
