The Path of the Warrior Jedi

The Path of the Warrior Jedi


Men who want power, wealth, glory and fame
Seek that one knowledge; that gives them the same.
A special knowledge exists for all men to see
But only if, a Warrior Jedi, he be.
This knowledge requires no logic, like applied in math
It requires one to follow a Warrior Jedi Path

Study the causes and effects of what may exist
Understand that all knowledge carries with it, a risk.
Man mitigates risk through a proper wager.
But the Warrior Jedi instead, applies the laws of human nature.
Knowledge of the environment is the only course
For the Warrior Jedi, to understand the Force.

A Warrior Jedi must seek knowledge deep from within,
He must know where his strengths and weaknesses begin
A Warrior Jedi who knows where his strengths do lie
Will know the weaknesses, those strengths belie.
A Warrior Jedi who knows where the weaknesses come
Can identify the strengths, those weaknesses shun

For every man, a strength or weakness there be
But it’s often hidden deep, for no man to see.
A Warrior Jedi is cautioned to make no demand
A Warrior Jedi must first, seek to understand.
For every individual, there is a purpose at best
A Warrior Jedi must learn, that person’s self interest.

The Force is everything around you, the environment.
It describes the laws of nature, and how energy is spent.
But the deepest of mysteries, lies deep from within
The laws of human nature are where the Warrior Jedi must begin.
This knowledge of the Force, one must constantly devour
Knowledge of the Force is the source of Warrior Jedi’s Power.

The strength of a Warrior Jedi comes from within
Developing ones inner strength is where one must begin
Leadership traits of honor, integrity and trust
Mixed with humor, A Warrior Jedi learns them, he must
There are certain characteristics to develop along,
Developing ones inner strength, makes a Warrior Jedi strong.

The knowledge of others and how they decide
This key piece of knowledge the Warrior Jedi will abide.
Imply and suggest, let the other make ones own decision
Apply an indirect approach with pinpoint precision.
To harness the skill of the Warrior Jedi’s full potential;
Requires most, the Warrior Jedi to be influential.

Know the Force, Know Thyself, Know Others it is told
For it is this knowledge that makes the Warrior Jedi Code.
He who knows these three things the advantage is won,
The power, the strength, the influence work all as one.
To harness this power, the Code is the source
The secrets are told on how to use the Force.

Power, Strength and Influence will belong to thee,
But with these privileges come, the responsibility.
To retain the strengths of a Warrior Jedi, it is told
One must maintain the honor of the Warrior Jedi Code.
Honoring the Code, staying the course,
Leads one to, the Light side of the Force.

A Warrior Jedi is cautioned and must be aware,
There is a Dark side of the Force that exists out there.
The Dark side is temptation, to please one self first
It knows your desires, it knows what you thirst
It promises you every thing you might want or may ponder
But it lacks the Code, and is the path to dishonor.

The Force itself, is neither evil, nor good
The Force is a power that is rarely understood.
Using the Force, means following the Code
It allows one to reap, where one has sowed.
To break the Code, if the Warrior Jedi decides
Then the Path to dishonor for him, no longer hides.

The Code of the Warrior Jedi

The purpose of this blog is to develop the Code of the Warrior Jedi.

The inspiration of this blog is to further refine and develop the concept of the Force and apply it to today. Therefore, I've kept the term... "The Force"... but because this is not intended to be a Science Fiction spin off of the Star Wars Trilogy, I'm not keeping the term, "The Jedi Knights".

Instead, I'm creating the Code of the Warrior Jedi.

My intent is to use this blog to capture some of my original ideas and then determine if these ideas can be expanded into a useful book or other idea.

And if not, I've at least put it out there for consideration.
