The mysterious concept known as the "force" is based on a completely fictional but very real principle. In Star Wars movies, the Force is often referred to by members of a religious group called the Jedi. The Jedi Knights' Warrior Priests were the main proponents of what they saw as the core concept of the Force.
Concepts and sequences are fictional, but the principles by which the Jedi lived are excellent guides for life, especially in all the chaos of the modern world. Because the "dark side" of the Force is not equated with evil, but rather negatively affects someone's life, the principles of the Jedi Code can be easily used to shape a personal philosophy of a good life full of healthy lifestyles. psychological attitude. Below you’ll find the core principles of the Jedi philosophy, and some ideas on how they can be adapted to the trials and tribulations of modern life.
There is no emotion; there is peace.
Being able to control one’s emotions was critical to a Jedi, as their tasks often required that they remain as objective as possible. Fear and anxiety can have negative effects on one’s decisionmaking, which in turn can wreak havoc on one’s life. By taking control of one’s stress and anxiety, separating it from the tasks that need to be done, you can effectively find better solutions to your problems than you would have if you let your anxiety affect your analysis of the situation. This concept does not encourage denial of emotions. This is because it can cause more anxiety disorders and psychological problems than it solves. He simply says people should let logic and analysis make decisions, not emotions.
There is no ignorance. I have knowledge.
The Jedi Order maintained a single-minded pursuit of knowledge. To support their pursuit of Enlightenment, they built a large library containing vast amounts of information on a variety of subjects and fields essential to the training and education of Jedi. They also shared this knowledge to better enlighten the people they want to protect. Many problems associated with anxiety and phobias can be alleviated if people take the time to understand things. A little knowledge can help someone overcome the fears and anxieties they face when encountering a completely unfamiliar culture. In some cases, you may be able to overcome an anxiety disorder simply by having in mind sufficient knowledge of the causes of the anxiety disorder so that you can better understand and deal with the problem.
No enthusiasm. There is serenity.
Jedi, like the first principle, believed that being too preoccupied with something was dangerous because it could cloud judgment and objectivity. For those in their position, objectivity was very important in almost every situation. The same is true for everyone in modern society. Emotions and enthusiasm not only cloud your ability to make good decisions, but can also negatively affect your ability to recognize mistakes and correct them to prevent further harm. Keeping your composure in the face of impossible bureaucracy can go a long way toward maintaining a stable state of your mental health and preventing "crazy". As long as your stress and worries don't build up and you don't get caught up in negative thoughts, your mind will be calm, you will be able to make better decisions and see more clearly what's going on in your life.
There is no death, only strength.
Jedi believed that when someone dies, they become one with the Force. This allowed us to view death not as a negative event, but simply as a transition through which a person must inevitably go through. Applying this to modern life, negative events can be described as what philosophy calls "death," and "power" serves as a metaphor for life itself. That is, a statement that, in spite of all the negative events of life, life itself still exists, despite all the fears and anxiety, and the nausea from work and family responsibilities. Use one metaphor to describe another, and if something bad happens along the way, take the time to stop and smell the roses. A single car accident or unfair dismissal won't change your entire life. Life goes on and so should you.
Putting all the above principles together, it is hard to see how it cannot lead to a better state of mind even in the chaotic modern life. That is, if you follow it as a personal philosophy and do not take it as a mere recommendation. Also, if someone sticks to something contrary to the above principles, it can burn out pretty quickly.
