The feast is small but nourishing tonight class.
We are discussing Creation - myths and mysteries.

Please, tell me what you all think, and we will go from there

Why is that?

"I think the Order has been moving away from emotions--they tend to be messy. The Living Force focuses on the present, living in the moment. Most Jedi prefer to look at past, present, and future--getting a more balanced perspective and not relying as much on instinct."

Anakin looked embarassed. "I'm still very much in training, sir. I can't possible do justice towards explaining Jedi philosophy."

So what is the true benefit of living in the present?

"You're not burdened by the guilt of the past or the dread of the future. You're free to act the way your instincts lead you." Anakin thought about it. "This was the way my old teacher was taught, and he didn't seem particularly enamored by the technique."

and what do you think about it?

"Beings who know say I'm one of the Jedi most attuned to the Force. To me, the Living Force isn't really a philosophy. It's how I live, and a constant headache for my old master. He thinks that I need to learn to think beyond the immediate. I think he needs to stop dwelling on the what-ifs and the what-happeneds."
