Epic Lines

In the galaxy far, far, away … someone said this epic line:

“May the force be with you” became a famous line on the 4th of May. Hence, we sometimes use this line “May the 4th be with you!”

The Star War saga has so many lifelines that we can use as tools to improve the human race namely:

• Once you start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny  – Yoda on Fate
• Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering – Yoda on Consequences.
• In a dark place, we find ourselves and a little knowledge lights our way. Yoda on Problem-solving
• The fear of loss is a path to the dark side – Yoda on Anxieties
• Who’s the more foolish; the fool or the fool who follows him? – Obi-Wan Kenobi on Obedience
• The ability to speak does not make you enlightened. Qui-Gon Jinn on Silence
• I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die. Qui-Gon Jinn on Inaction
• Your focus determines your reality. Qui-Gon Jinn on Perception
• Let go of your hate. Luke Skywalker on Freedom
• Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi’s life. Anakin Skywalker on Compassion

And of course, this the famous line I use all the time:

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Finding God in All Things

Part of my training is to find God in all things. Even in the movies. I know, call me weird, but there is so much to say about Yoda especially his wisdom. If I ignore his wisdom, this is where … Continue reading →

May the force be with you

Star Wars second sequel “The Empire Strikes Back” is the best in this trilogy, in my opinion.  

This movie brought out so much sense and wonder in me.  It’s a cheap thrill to be entertained and come out of the movie feeling good and courageous.  I am ready to fight my battle and face the evil dark force that surrounds me every moment.  I can literally hear Yoda: “Perpetua, beware of the dark force.” 

Yoda has so much wisdom in that little body.  This character embodies peace and compassion akin to godliness.   He has a funny way of talking that I am much too familiar, clipped way of talking similar to non-English speaking people. 

I went too far in cutting out Yoda’s wisdom and placed it on the door of the refrigerator.  

Do or Do not…  

Do not open the fridge and just to look what’s in it, stare at an empty fridge or be fickle thinking what to cook.  DO NOT leave the fridge door open for a long time otherwise the penguins are coming. 

Do throw away the leftover food.  There’s no room for science culture.  Penicillin has already been discovered. 

Ah, Yoda, full of wisdom. 

Wars do not make one great.  Adventure.  Heh!  Excitement.  Heh!  A Jedi cares not these things.  You must unlearn what you have learned.  Try not.  Do.  Or do not.  There is no try. 

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.  That is the way of things. 

The way of the Force.  A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.  Once you start down the dark path, forever it will dominate you.  Your destiny, consume you it will.  Beware of the dark side … anger, fear, aggression. 

You must feel the Force around you.  Through the Force, things you will see.  Other places.  The future, the past, old friends long gone. 

Size matters not.  If you choose the quick and the easy path, you will become an agent of evil.  Control, control.  You must learn control.  Mind what you have learned.  Save you it can. 

May the force be with you.
