Weekday Doctrine Meditations 13:00 utc(Ajax)

(05:03:49) Rosalyn_J: Hello!!
(05:03:58) steamboat28: Good timezone!
(05:04:12) Rosalyn_J: yay people
(05:04:14) Twigga: Ha! Got it to load... AJax was being dodge
(05:04:27) Rosalyn_J: awesome!!
(05:04:43) Rosalyn_J: Today we are going to discuss the Code
(05:05:11) Twigga: nice
(05:05:41) Rosalyn_J: as we know there are two versions:
(05:05:43) Rosalyn_J: Emotion, yet Peace. There is no Emotion, there is Peace.
Ignorance, yet Knowledge. There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge.
Passion, yet Serenity. There is no Passion, there is Serenity.
Chaos, yet Harmony. There is no Chaos, there is Harmony.
Death, yet the Force. There is no Death, there is the Force.
(05:05:55) Temple remote: Arisaig logs into the Chat.
(05:06:28) Twigga: *waves to Arisaig*
(05:06:36) Rosalyn_J: Hi Arisaig
(05:06:36) Arisaig: heyo.
(05:07:39) Rosalyn_J: Ive been known to use one as a regular code and one as a decision code
(05:08:08) Rosalyn_J: what about you all? How have you interpreted and used the Code?
(05:09:00) steamboat28: I see the "yet" code as a system of dualities, regarding the nature of the Force and our lives. I see the standard code as affirmations that the former (emotion, ignorance, passion, chaos, and death) are illusory.
(05:09:17) Rosalyn_J: ah
(05:09:22) steamboat28: but that the latter remains, regardless.
(05:10:14) Arisaig: agreed with Steam, the first part is usually part of innate programming that we're taught throughout our lives, the latter is what we should aspire to.
(05:10:54) Rosalyn_J: Wonderful, absolutely wonderful
(05:11:05) Rosalyn_J: Twigga?
(05:11:16) Twigga: I am made of the first halves - emotion, ignorance, passion, chaos and death. Sometimes I need to listen to them to inform me where I wanna go, and what I want to do. Sometimes I need them to be there as a backdrop, but let my knowledge, serenity, harmony and *shrugs* yeah, sometimes the force stuffs too, come out and shine.
(05:12:00) Rosalyn_J: Wow, really good
(05:12:03) Arisaig: mm, well said twigga. The first part is usually the knee jerk reaction of the ego (in my experience at least).
(05:12:04) Twigga: So I use both. Depending on my state at the time.
(05:12:13) Rosalyn_J: Me too
(05:12:56) steamboat28: I think it's important to realize both have their place; if one were without use, would we not discard it? Yet we keep them both. Surely, there must be some knowledge in them to be gleaned.
(05:13:40) Rosalyn_J: We cannot have only a positive or only a negative poll
(05:13:56) Rosalyn_J: Life makes it so that we will always have dualities
(05:14:12) Rosalyn_J: The Code is the very expression of life
(05:14:19) Twigga: ... what is a duality (?)
(05:14:33) steamboat28: So when I am overcome with passion, I realize that serenity can still exist within me at the same time. ("yet" code)
When I am ignorant, however, I must know that state to be temporary and to seek Knowledge. (standard code)
(05:15:06) steamboat28: Twigga, within this Temple, a duality is a set of two things that are not as opposite as they appear.
(05:15:24) Twigga: *nods* THAT'S good to know.
(05:15:42) Rosalyn_J:
(05:16:06) Twigga: Like boys and girls. Folks often see 'em as opposites; but actually they're, like, 99.9% the same.
(05:16:28) steamboat28: For example, white and black are not opposites, though they may seem it. Rather, one of them informs us of the other; if we're drawing in pencil on white paper, we need both to see.
(05:16:39) Rosalyn_J: right
(05:18:00) Rosalyn_J: This was meant to be a very short opportunity to connect and we are coming up on the end
(05:18:33) Rosalyn_J: Are there any more discussion points or quick questions we can answer before we get to recite the Creed together?
(05:18:58) Twigga: Only thanks for the perspectives - all been interesting
(05:19:16) steamboat28: I believe that in some cases, the "yet" code can be interpreted "in the midst of"...that we may have Peace in the midst of our Emotion.
(05:19:34) steamboat28: I find that thought soothing when I am overcome.
(05:19:55) Rosalyn_J: Kind of like the eye of a storm?
(05:20:00) steamboat28: Precisely.
(05:20:56) Rosalyn_J: Arisaig, did you have any final thoughts or questions?
(05:21:05) Arisaig: i think im good.
(05:21:11) Rosalyn_J: ok great
(05:21:21) Rosalyn_J: With that, let us recite the Creed
(05:21:37) Rosalyn_J: I am a Jedi, an instrument of peace;
