Alliances
In any universe, the way we live is many times determined by whom we surround ourselves. When one decides to join a group or become part of something that the success of the one depends upon the success of the many. A togetherness that can be given adjectives, but never truly explained. We ask ourselves for a connection that will bind us through the dark times in order to see the light. An alliance that will re-direct the path.
Is it by choice or by fate that the group fighting for power during the first Star Wars trilogy was an alliance? A group of individuals with few cultural similarities, but one common foe. The threat of oppression, which evolves to survival causes many unique and otherwise extraordinary partnerships. Partnerships which may test your previous thoughts about reality, and the society that dwells within. We learn from those who are the closest to us.
At the Jedi Creed, this is the goal. The Force is a religion, entity, and control of self-autonomy that can be understood by few. As more Jedi and adepts enter within this circle, the knowledge will expand until another group grows. We must teach each other the skills that are necessary in order for the Force and the Jedi continuing their evolution along it�s natural course. It disturbs me when some of the greatest followers and carriers of the Force can be deterred so quickly. To the naked eye, the clues that the Force presents go unnoticed by the untrained. Life provides solutions to many of our daily problems, but these solutions may come in disguised forms. We understand that the patience in our observations allows us to assist each other with these hidden clues. Together, we see more.
The key to an alliance is trust. We must all believe that we are working towards one common goal, and if the goal is unclear, communication must be increased. We must all believe that we will always put the needs of the many ahead of the wants of the one. As we know, empathy is a core of the Force. We must all believe that a unified front is the most powerful assemblage. An alliance cannot survive with division. We must all believe that without the alliance, the goal is unattainable.
