PART I: THE PRECEPTS
- Emotion, yet peace.
- Ignorance, yet knowledge.
- Passion, yet serenity.
- Chaos, yet harmony.
- Death, yet the Force.
PART II: THE TENETS
- Guard society with justice.
- Do not act selfishly or seek the pursuit of power.
- Respect all life, in all forms as it is the life-line of the Force.
- Community before individuals, the greater good before the needs of the few.
- Help those who cannot help themselves, provide service to those in need.
- Do not harm those who cannot harm you, do not seek violence where are alternatives.
- Use the Force to serve the Force.
- Above all else, is the will of the Force
PART III: THE GUIDELINES
- Use the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack unless in the aid of yourself or another. A lightsaber should never be your first resort. Seek peaceful solutions to all hostile situations in that you might deter the suffering of another.
- Do not fight in the pursuit of personal gain, but rather for the sake of better serving the Force. To fight for ones self is not the Jedi way and such pride and selfishness can ultimately lead to the Dark Side of the Force.
- Be mindful of your feelings, though you are not a droid, meditate often and learn to have self control. Ensure that in all acts, you think first with your mind and let your heart come second, ensure that all you do in active duty, you do for the betterment of others and through the will of the Force.
- Meditate always on the Light side of the Force, gain knowledge and understanding of it through clarity and peace of mind. Use these moments to center yourself and loose all trivial matters only to commune with the living Force.
- Beware the lure of the Dark Side of the Force, it is a dangerous and terrible path that will tempt you through your utmost desires and your most prominent feelings. This is said to be the easier path in that you serve only yourself, but only from the light will you find true peace.
- The Light Side is a long and arduous path, a path of servitude to the Force, of service to the people of the Galaxy of all nations and races. It is the way that puts others before yourself and above all, it is the true path to finding peace in life and in the Force.
- Seek knowledge through the training of the spirit and of the mind. Do not cease in pursueing the active and regular exercises of the Jedi way, the exertion of the physical body will give strength and promise to ones affinity in the Force, and always ensure that you are ready and able to meet the requirements of the Jedi Path.
- Harmony, peace, and compassion; these are core principles in every Jedi's personal being and will aid you in your unison with the force, to be at peace of yourself through all that you do.
- No matter the reason, to take a life is always to wound the natural veil of the Force. Do not resort to this where there may be an alternative; to kill is a Jedi's absolute last resort and will not only disturb the flow of life in the world, but so too will it take from you; whether mental or physical, no Jedi is above the loss of life.
- The Force is present in all life, binding all and unifying all. Learn that you are of it, that you came from it, and that you will one day return to it.
