Jedi Code: Line 2
Written by Xhaiden
There is no emotion; there is peace.Here is the final lesson for now on the first line of the code. Before moving on to this lesson be sure you have become accomplished on the first lesson of this line of the code. You will begin to apply this to real situations in this lesson so I caution you to be sure you have become accomplished on the first lesson.
Now that you have mastered the first lesson we can begin learning to apply this in real time situations. I would start with fear on this part of the lesson because you are not applying this with another person yet. For example, my sister is afraid of spiders so I will use this example because no harm can really come from this; you are still in control of the situation. So what you need to do is put yourself in a situation where you know there will be a spider. Say you can always find one in your basement, so that’s where you will go for this part of the lesson. As you walk to that basement door and open it you know your intent is to find a spider which you are scared of. You should begin to feel the emotion of fear creeping into your body and mind. Before you go any farther, get that fear out of your system, let go of it. You have mastered the first lesson so you should have no problem letting go of that fear. Proceed down those stairs and each time you feel fear coming back turn it off. Now you are to the bottom of the stairs you see a spider across the basement. Begin to walk towards it. Do not let fear creep into your mind or body. There is nothing to fear. Fear is an emotion that is meant to get in the way. Emotions do not control a Jedi. Keep walking towards it, by now you should be right next to the spider. If you have truly mastered the first lesson you should be feeling no fear. As long as it’s not a poisonous spider pick it up, let it crawl across your hand. It is part of the Force as you and I are. Watch it and learn from its reactions. Now you should be thinking why was I even scared of this spider? It is because you let the emotion fear rule your actions and reactions. I bet even at this time you might be laughing at yourself thinking, this was nothing to be scared of. You don’t need to use this example because we all have different fears when we haven’t learned to control them. Find what you fear and use the same steps and method as above to face that fear. Do this with a couple of things and soon you will find you will not be ruled by that emotion no more. Heights would be another great example you could use. It might take you a couple of months to learn how to apply this in real time situations. Eventually though it will become an automated response, muscle memory so to speak. Once you can do these skills in situations that are 100% in your control start applying them in situations with other people. If you are involved in an argument many begin to be run be the emotion anger. Take and learn form the way you responded when learning how to control your other emotions and apply what you learned in these situations. If you are known to be a hot head, you will be amazed how quickly people will begin to take notice of you becoming more at peace. It is an amazing thing. Again, this lesson can take months to years to learn. Do not rush it. Have patience and stick with it. You will learn how to be at peace at all times soon enough and when that time comes your emotions will be even a greater asset to you as they are a part of who you are and not the emotions being who you are.
