Star Wars 3
<kunda> just saw Star Wars 3 <kunda> i had a little epiphany in it that got me depressed.. <kunda> being a jedi is kind of like being on the path..its austere..its selfless <kunda> u serve others <kunda> u are non-attached <kunda> attachment brings inevitable pain <kunda> lets skip the philosophy behind how insipid that might sound <kunda> but..i was wondering about the reincarnation model <kunda> and how many life time have i sat/stood/supported my chin on my palms/laid down to learn this same theme/myth/pattern/archetype from a movie/book/storyteller/teacher <kunda> how the darkside isnt evil..it is just getting twisted by the power of the force..thinking you own it...teh darkness is the ignorance one lives in and spreads around oneself <kunda> evil is just another concept of this either/or thinking <kunda> limited in dimension <kunda> your either with us or you are our enemy <kunda> no middle <kunda> no degrees of seperation..just empty space between left and right, right and wrong, good and evil <kunda> evil is fear and fear always has a need <kunda> that is unmet <kunda> and rage is that fear turned in on itself with inner-mammilian force <kunda> so you dont recognize the fear anymore..just a rampage of pain <kunda> left in its wake <kunda> and what else..that kindness and compassion are pussy traits. that they get mistakened for weakness <kunda> were in actuality it takes more courage to be kind and compassionate <kunda> so when are the lessons gonna end..or realization of this begin..? <kunda> must i go through it all again..again <kunda> and again <kunda> (again) <kunda> the movie had its moments..but it lacked that quality of the first 3 or maybe becasue i saw them as a kid..and everything is amazing at a certain age <kunda> well..thats my rant -Kunda
