Living the Jedi Way - Paperback

by Kent Hesselbein (Illustrator), Michele Doucette (Author)

Living The Jedi Way is a volume that engages the reader in a discussion surrounding Jediism. Focusing on the symbolism found within the Star Wars movies, it is well know that a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. One must always be cautious, therefore, against anger, fear and aggression because fear is the path to the dark side, meaning that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. In determining the good side from the bad, a Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, but never for attack. Remaining calm and at peace, while engaging in both rational thought as well as meditation, is touted herein, as the path to enlightenment (as opposed to the dark side of violent passion and erratic emotion). So, too, does this book draw comparisons between Star Wars terminology and the spiritual path.
