A Jedi chooses his own path...
Remember, patience is the key to understanding. You must have patience. Now then, you must combine what you've learned so far--patience, your knowledge, your calmness, peace. No hesitation, and no rush. Slowly at first it will come, and then you will recognize. Concentrate and let the Force flow. Feel it, since it is you, and me, everything. It is life itself. Your inner spirit. The true you. For example, look at a small piece of wood, feel it, know it, what it is, how it is. Feel its place in the universe, what it is and will be. Not what it was, though--the past is unchangeable. The future is changeable, with you, or without you. Remember, as Yoda said, "Do. Or do not. There is no try." It is not only the doing itself, but the combination of your calmness and patience, and your inner peace, that is what's important.
Think about how Luke began his journey. When he went to look for R2-D2 - this was when he found Obi-wan Kenobi. During this time was when his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were brutally murdered by the Empire. Was this coincidence that he happened to not be at his home at that time? Was it coincidence that had he been there, he'd have been killed too, as Obi-wan said? No, because you see, there is no coincidence. Everything happens for a reason.
Listen. Water is one of the softest materials in existence, and is the base of most living things. It can fit in any container. It seems weak, yet it can penetrate rock. Be like the nature of the water. I have given you the keys, you must unlock the doors to the depths of the universe. I cannot do this for you.
With life comes the existance, with existance comes the cause. The cause is the greater thing created by you. We have an amazing gift in life--free will. Use that gift to its highest degree. With exceptions, of course. Don't let greed and anger take control of your life. That would be a waste. You are part of the Force. Become one with it. You have many choices: to continue with the Light--which I hope you will--or to fail me and yourself.
Every Jedi Apprentice goes through a test. A test of strength. Not necesarily in the physical sense, but emotionally, and mentally. Luke failed his test in the cave. He chose to carry his weapons into the cave, and fight the vision of Vader, who turned out to be himself. This test decides which path is to be taken by the Jedi. Expect it during your journey.
Those who follow the light path, will be. Those who do not, will perish in time, and the universe, and will become a dark spot.
When peace is finally attained, and you finally feel free, you will be faced with a challenge. Something will stand in your way, and you will find it difficult to feel the peace that you once felt. You must not let this take control of you. Hold on to your calmness, your patience, and your peacefullness. Remember who you are, and truely feel things once more. Let it flow...
