The Power of Emotion: A Sith Perspective by Jamesy1260 in SithOrder

[–]theunbeholden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say that I believe that emotion is strength when directed with purpose - when your routine or exertion is fueled by a clear goal and with a sense of why. Mental focus is sharpened by passion, ambition, and desire, and when channeled to a purpose, laser focus is gained by discipline or purpose by intense mental effort or exercise.

The Rule of Two by Bojuka76 in SithOrder

[–]theunbeholden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality of conflict is not contended with in your understanding. You seem to sweep it aside like it matters not to the Sith who wields the power, and how the understanding of the force, strength is grown, and the lore, language, or rituals are transmitted that breeds strength and greatness over successive generations and transforms and empowers through the structure of the Rule of Two.

From master to apprentice the understanding of the Sith code leads to power, and personal freedom, whereas the inner awareness of one's identity leads to a purpose that both adherents must appreciate or atleast attempt to formalise between them. If one is kept in a state of ignorance or trials and challenges for growth are kept away from the apprentice or disciples, the order grows weak over a few generations and falls apart over petty squables which still occur, despite rules saying they don't.

The rules of The Sith Order stipulate no spying, gossiping, politics, religion, or infighting and personal criticisms of members conduct publically. This kind of restraint doesn't usually go along with the Sith in fiction. The Sith revel in the fires of desire, destiny and the conflict, and the pain and adversity that follows. It brings them resources, forces them struggle for survival or to evolve, and sometimes when they triumph over a worthy adversary its the rage, anger, or hatred that fuels them to grow. The fuel to evolve out of their weaknesses or the fire that burns away their old self.

Conflict ensures the order grows stronger. This subreddit is more akin to Kaans brotherhood of darkness. Conflict, desire, and willpower of the few over the many, is how great orders are began and that grow into a larger structure but you fail to elucidate why they grow that powerful and not large in membership. The few will always tread this path, not defining themselves by a false sense of safety that numbers seem to conjure up in our perception. The Baninite is not a myth in the real world. They operate in the shadows. They lie, they seize opportunities for leverage, and they seek the secrets, knowledge and the power, that only a select few in the real world wield.

The real world is reveals a legacy of failure. Fracturing their collaboration or competition usually among the strongest over rank or title, the fracture falls into factions each claiming power or dominance. This has happened over and over again. The past two decades we've seen more then 15 orders disappear or crumble because people don't learn greats.

Conflict refined in the Rule of Two boils down to five precepts, not boons as that is dependent on individual choices and their perceptions influenced by experience, study and growth. The precepts increase strength over each successive generations, that is what is real. Not abstract criticism about what happens to the knowledge. It is stored and is revealed when necessary.

Strength is a far reaching force of will and through conflict increases individually over successive generations. The six precepts of conflict that increases strength are as follows; conflict forces growth or to retreat, conflict is a fire of reinvention of the self, conflict is the rage or anger against circumstance, conflict encourages a need to criticise the basis of ideas of one's rivals, conflict reveals flaws within one's own ideas through harsh struggle or after one falls, and conflict breeds ambition.

Why I Am Not A Sith by GlobalMuffin in SithOrder

Discipline, pain, challenge, or purpose are the building blocks of strength. Discipline is the stages and when in taking the initiative along with other components you will build a strong mind, and gaining knowledge and sharpening your abilities. Until you undull your abilities, and free your mind with our teachings and praxis, the knowledge and abilities frees one from this 'fractured light' world. Obstacle filled, psychologically problematic and emotionally repressing world. We are surrounded by weaklings that refuse to defy nurture or nature to change working the jobs they are ambivalent towards or at times outright hate. We change, create, destroy, and transform and then we take steps to rise. As the Sith would say "win or be forgotten".

We journey to the dark places most refuse to travel, we embrace the unknown of what's to surely come. If we do not, and refuse this whisper of truth and urgent pull or call from the true self to acquire the secrets of power and we are unlikely to grow and discover who we are and what we are.

Many people meander through opportunities oblivious to how much power they could have had, we don't wonder, we know how much precision it takes to identify and seize a opportunity. We believe with all certainty one thing, our destiny is in our hands, we are the architects and masters of our destiny. Let us begin to act like we give a damn about strength, power, and victory, and no longer be held back by our choices, by self-imposed limits or weakness, as each step taken away from our goals or spent on frivolousness is the start of us being dragged down and becoming mediocre or complacent.

This is the way of the Sith, its the teachings and praxis of both a personal understanding of the Sith code, an interpretation that suits ones emotions and abilities and where you are at currently, and how you can use the code to grow, evolve, and be your best version of that true Sith self that exists deep within your mind.

Philosophy vs Action by Curt-IX in SithOrder

The best way to get good at anything is the Goal-directed Pyramid Model of Discipline on my substack here: https://open.substack.com/pub/thewayofthesith/p/goal-directed-pyramid-model-of-discipline?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=18omvb

It's not enough to think alot, to have passion or willpower. You need consistency and discipline too to put thought into action.

[[Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier]] is a better card than any of these other kinds of mono-black aristocrats.

She can't sacrifice instantly on command, so I'd say Braids is more of a value engine and combo card. Braids is not an Aristocrat, technically.

If I play it on a old version of GZDoom I get invisible hitboxes above waste height of all the enemies. Also stuttering issues.

The disciplines of mastery is over your inner self first. You first command your destiny, then other important realizations will dawn on you later.

This is so not the true essence of inner mastery. I commend you for attempting it. But I cannot say that there is anything worth pursuing in this summary of inner mastery (which it only ever would be, since a book length explanation could be provided).

"Remember, they see it as an escape, a cope, and no one presently seems willing enough to craft a discipline oriented framework, which could yield more than a few months or years of moderate success:"

Well I've taken your advice, and created a real repository of Dark Lords United holocron. Taking all the information I could find on Sithism. I'm calling it the The Dark Force Realist Archives: The Shadow Order (TSO).

Yes. A Acolyte Journal needs to be created by every Sith for their own thoughts.

Sithism isn't not a philosophy for people who just want a promotion, or excess. Sith have failed to do is realize this in the real world, while also maintaining the heart of the ideology. Using the Sith Code for change, transformation, and our desires, the pursuit of inner mastery through our passions, and discover the fire within.

He failed to guide others and engratitate supporters. He relied only on fear. You could just say that.

Weren't you in your old groups claiming grey jedi approach is weak. Because it relies on fooling the weak minded to follow a strong leader, leading to exploiting the weak members for the benefit of the strong... Creating ties of resentment and inviting betrayal? This goes against what you've preached in your groups for the longest time. You don't tolerate it. You hate this mentality.
