Spirituality is not a requirement on the Sith path*.

So, how does that fit into your Sith is derivative from Jedi?

*as far as I'm aware...


My answer to that is I'm less concerned what people call themselves, and more about what constitutes a useful and functional path with associated areas of specialty. If a exercise motivational group wants to call themselves Jedi or Sith for example it's just not on my radar as anything other then another exercise motivation group.

Edit; and I'd suggest there is more potential in the fiction and its meanings and impact on people then something as narrow as that example.

Nobody ever reads my profile quote at FA, but it says "The only force I believe in is myself". I don't do deities, magic, and superstition, period. I believe in real, verifiable evidence and cause/effect relationships.

I said the same in my older DA writings. The Force is ours. In our passion, our intellect, our will.

There´s an app in Play Store and App store, it`s About a Gray Jedi, the Points of view from the Gray Jedi are very Interesting, He talks abouth the Dark and the light as one, we can´t live only in a "pure light" state we need the dark, but we need to controle it. Every day there´s a fight inide of us, and we need to find a good balance
Sorry for the Bad English, my original language it`s spanish

Ignore everything you've read so far. It may contain some truths but they are incomplete. The only thing that is true is that the living force doesn't care whether you are good or evil. You are the embodiment of this force. It's yours to do good or evil with. Good and evil are relative. Save a life or take a life. Killing Hitler might be a good idea and saving Jeffrey Dahmer might be a bad idea. It's all relative to the circumstances. Out of the grey and shadow Jedi I emerged a rainbow Jedi. It's not the gay rainbow thing but more a multi-color thing. Not multi-color as in non-racist but seeing the world through a different lense that shows the true colors. Things aren't black-and-white as we are taught... they are on a spectrum. Walking the Jedi path is more like following the spectrum and finding alignment.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

It is looking for a balance indeed and you certainly have to look at things from a different perspective. That's more to the point, let's call it learning a way to see our actions in multiple ways and forms of effect as or before we do them. As is preferable as its also about looking at every moment in "real time" . Yesterday was pretty cool and tomorrow should fun but today is however awesome/sad as I will make it.

Está buscando un equilibrio y ciertamente tiene que mirar las cosas desde una perspectiva diferente. Eso es más al punto, vamos a llamar a aprender una manera de ver nuestras acciones de múltiples maneras y formas de efecto como o antes de hacerlo. Como es preferible ya que también se trata de mirar cada momento en "tiempo real". Ayer fue bastante fresco y mañana debe divertirse pero hoy es sin embargo impresionante / triste como lo haré.

That was google translate so sorry if it is wrong.
