Hi, everyone! I've been wondering... Who was the one to add the line "There is no Chaos, there is Harmony" to the Jedi Code? I am asking this because wherever I have come across it (I mean the books of the Star Wars Universe) I have always seen it containing only the other four lines, and not this one?...

Thank you! :) By the way, I think that it really should be omitted because harmony comes to reign implicitly after you have already achieved peace and serenity?... :)

I prefer the line Chaos, Yet Harmony. Just because you have Peace and Serenity doesn't mean you have reached harmony. Peace, serenity and Harmony are meant for three separate experiences that make the whole.

Peace is a time of contentment when there is no chaos within yourself (internal)

Serenity is a time of bliss when everything around you is calm (External)

Harmony is the ability to achieve both Internal Peace and External bliss amidst/in unison of the chaos of life.

Just my thoughts! Here is what I wrote awhile back on the Code : Here (Google Doc)

This line in my opinion is about the nature of the Force. I think it could have been written down as "there is no chaos there is cosmos", implying the Force is a complex yet orderly "thing".

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

Chaos and Harmony refers to the mutually arising forces of disarray and flow as resulting behaviors of the Force within our perception.
