Although mythical, the mysterious concept is known as “Power” is rooted in some fundamental principles. In the film, Star Wars, the "Force" is often mentioned by members of a religious organization called the Jedi. The heroes-priests of the Jedi Order have served as great supporters of what they believe are the main ideas of The Force.
The concept and order are mythical, but the principles by which the Jedi lived their lives are excellent guides for human life, especially in the midst of all the chaos of the modern world. As long as The Force's "Black Side" balances not only evil but also negative influences on one's life, the principles of the Jedi Code can easily be applied to build a personal philosophy of living a good, complete, and healthy life attitude. Below you will find the basic principles of Jedi philosophy, as well as some ideas on how to adapt to the trials and tribulations of modern life.
No emotion; there is peace.
Being able to control one's emotions was important to the Jedi, as their duties often required them to remain as purposeful as possible. Fear and anxiety can have negative effects on a person's decision-making, which can be detrimental to one's health. By managing your stress and anxiety, isolating yourself from the tasks that you have to perform, you can effectively find better solutions to your problems than you would if you let your anxiety affect your analysis of the situation. This idea does not recommend denying one's emotions, for doing so can lead to more anxiety and psychological problems than just solving them. It simply states that people should let thinking and reasoning govern their decisions, not their feelings.
There is no ignorance; there is information.
Jedi Order supported the pursuit of prescribed information. To support the search for enlightenment, they built a large library containing information on the various subjects and instructions needed to teach and train the Jedi. They also shared that knowledge, to better enlighten the same people who were trying to protect them. Many anxiety disorders and phobias can be alleviated if people take the time to understand things. A little knowledge can help a person overcome the fears and anxieties that a person experiences when exposed to a completely unknown culture. In some cases, anxiety disorders can be overcome by simply equipping a person's mind with sufficient information about the source of anxiety, thus allowing the person to better understand and deal with the problem.
There is no lust; there is peace.
Similar to the original principle, the Jedi believed that a strong desire for something was dangerous, as it could diminish one's judgment and intent. For the people in their positions of responsibility, consideration was needed in almost every case. The same can be said of anyone in today's world. Emotions and enthusiasm can undermine our ability to make good decisions, and it can have a detrimental effect on our ability to recognize our mistakes and correct them to avoid further damage. Calmness in the face of an impossible state can go a long way in keeping a person's mental health stable and far from “going by mail.” As long as you do not allow your stress and anxiety to grow by focusing on negative things, then your mind will be calm, and you can make better decisions and take a closer look at what is happening in a person’s life.
There is no death, only Power
The Jedi believed that when a person died, they became members of The Force. This allowed them to view death, not as a tragedy, but as an imminent change. To get used to this in modern life, negative events can be portrayed as “death” in the philosophical sense, in that “Power” serves as a metaphor for life itself. In other words, it means that, no matter what the worst events in a person's life, no matter the fears and anxieties, nausea caused by business and family activities, there is still life itself. Using a metaphor to describe another, if something is wrong with you, take the time to stop and smell the roses. Your whole life will not be governed by a single-car collision or improper termination. Life goes on and on, and so should you.
When we consider all of the above principles, it is difficult to see how they could fail to lead to a better state of mind, even amid the turmoil of modern life. That is if they are followed as human philosophy and can be considered as guidelines only. In addition, if a person supports any of the above principles, he or she is liable to heat immediately.
