My journey has been a long and hard one in fact I'm not even sure what I am anymore. I started out raised in a Protestant Christian family not strict easy going, I became skeptical early on. Now I float in and out of atheism and am very interested in paganism and ancient religions. I found the Sith religion through my love of Starwars growing up and I talked with people online about the reality of the Sith philosophy as a religion and life viewpoint. In response to the Jedi religion which is more of a humanist knockoff of Buddhist practices (not that theirs anything wrong with practicing the Jedi religion it could be more uniquely reformed.) The Sith religion at least the one I follow seeks to define its spirituality as a more in depth vista of the universe and the energy that flows through it. I seek to learn all about the Ancient spirituality of man. I believe that in the Ancient religions there is a hidden truth that we may discover by studying them and I hope to learn much on this forum.

then I'd have to develop a more expansive supply of mercy and tone down my random acts of wrath. Where would we all be then?life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

Re: Hello
Welcome, Sith A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor!
I've also always found that I could resonate with the Sith code better than the Jedi code, also thought it was possible to live by. How do you incorporate it into your life, if I may ask? I gathered that it shapes the way you look at the world but is there any ritual or so to it? (Ritual as in, something you do ritually/consequently. Not necessarily something super complicated.) I'm interested!

Oh no ! :=o: A life void of those two things sounds dreadful. The balance, think about the balance!Originally posted by SleepingCompass View PostHi!
Welcome the forum, Sith
I'd love to hear more about the Sith religion and how you incorporate it into your life as well!
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
The code is what guides my philosophical thoughts about the universe, the Sith faith is essentially like the Confucian faith a set of principles to guide ones life with minor spiritual practices added. The code represents our deeper philosophy of mostly social Darwinism and Darwinism physically, Evolution etc. Let me say first and foremost the Sith believes primarily in science because it shows us the reality that we inhabit and secondly a Sith believes in the hidden spiritual world that can not be fully understood by the living creatures in this existence, however the belief is that it is there and may manifest itself through the energy of the universe the "force" similar to many eastern concepts although I personally believe a force can be found in religions all over the world like Maat in Egypt or Seidr in Norse mythology. A Sith strives to work on this hidden connection to the spiritual world because a Sith's only goal is to become a God in a sense power is the only goal of a Sith. Incorporating this into daily life is by our philosophy so dealing with everyday circumstances and our issues we usually think deeply and consult our teachings before acting. Spiritually we study all types of Ancient beliefs and practices but the only physical thing we do is meditate or something similar and try to work on feeling the currents of the hidden world.
