"Pain... it is external, internal, physical, mental, inflicting and receiving all at once. The Dark Side draws Power for Pain, when you suffer it or when you inflict it on others. Pain suffered, received, is used to fuel your body, to create more anger, to create Hate, to enhance your own abilities. When someone used the Dark Side, their Pain becomes a weapon, something to use, to gain Strength and Power. Inflicting pain on others can empower you in turn, drawing you deeper into the Dark Side, Empowering and Nourishing you. If I was to hurt a man, and do it viciously then I would gain satisfaction, pride and other emotions of such a nature, widening my connection with the Dark Side of the Force."
"Power. It is needed in all things. Power is needed to create Victory, and to Break the Chains of Oppression and Society, to be able to do what you wish, when you wish it. To beat and conquer your enemy, whomever they may be, to use Political Power as well. This is Power focused Externally. Power Focused Internally is about being in Power and Control over yourself, and your emotions. Being out of control, allows the Dark Side to Consume and Break you, instead of you influencing it, and partially bending it to your will. Never think, that one can bend the entire Force to their will, it is impossible, and any who try are a fool, even to attempt trying to control a facet of the Force, like the Light or the Dark. This is the Downside of Power personified. Hubris. This is what you must have power over, and control. Your own Hubris, above most over emotions and facets of Sentient Psyche."
"Pleasure. In giving Pleasure to another, you also can gain power over them. The Drug Dealers have Power over the Drug Addicts. The Bartenders and the Cooks have Power over the Gluttons. The Whores and the Sluts have Power over the men and women they Pleasure, since more oft than most, they will come back for more. Receiving Pleasure, is something that happens on an everyday basis, even if we don't acknowledge it. Pleasure in Beating an Enemy. Pleasure in Being with a Lover. Pleasure in making and Eating Fine Food. Pleasure in simply enjoying life. Pleasure is in our everyday life, and whether or not we realise it, we are Chained down by it. This is where Power comes in yet again, in having Power of yourself and your Emotions, you can possibly rise above it, and no longer be Chained by it."
"Peace is a Lie. There is Only Passion.
This means exactly what it says. Peace, True Peace, is something unattainable. There will always be War, there will always be Emotions to ruin your Peace, and cloud your judgement at times, unless you acknowledge and rule them. Sure, Peace is attainable through Treaty, and the Meditation, but it is only weak. Fleeting. Instead of searching for Peace, become one with your Emotions and rule over them, so they do not control you."
"Through Passion, I Gain Strength.
Through harnessing your emotions, you passions, your needs and your wants, you gain the strength necessary to do what must be done to achieve your goals. Emotions such as Hatred and Anger give you focus on a goal, and Pain clears your head, and makes things sharper, if it is not overwhelming to the point in which you can no longer focus. Strength is needed in all things, but it is a means to another end."
"Through Strength, I gain Power.
The Power to do anything. Political Power, Physical Power, Mental Power, all help you achieve a goal, and become the best you can be. Power is necessary in all things. You must be more powerful than your opponent or you Perish. You most be More Powerful than your rivals, or you get left behind and forgotten. You must have Power, in order to Save your Friends and Family, to Protect them from any threat, and any enemy. Power is always coveted, needed and wanted in all of its forms."
"Through Power, I gain Victory.
Power is needed to reach the end goal, to achieve something, to be victorious in you endeavours. Power and Strength are worthless without a goal to achieve in doing so. Victory is gained completing that goal, whatever it maybe. Defeating a Foe, Learning new abilities, becoming the Leader/Ruler of a Planet or Star System. Victory over something is the what you are trying to achieve in most things."
"Through Victory, My Chains are Broken.
Your Chains... what are they? Society, Weakness, Tyranny... Society Chains us down and holds us, forcing us to conform. Weaknesses Chains us from our full abilities, and stop us from being the best we can be. Tyranny can literally Chain us down, to force us into weakness, into conformity, whether it is an oppressive government, a King, Our Very Masters, they seek to Chain us to a certain way of thought, of action, all because it is "The Best Way". These are but a few examples. Through Victory we overcome our weaknesses and find new strengths, we gain the Power and the Freedom, to be above conformity, and above the rule of any form of Tyranny. To Break our Chains in all things, and to be Free.
"The Force, Shall Free Me.
The Force is a Living, palpable thing, that Empowers us. The only reason we are able to do any of the former, is because the Force guides us, wills us, and allows us to influence it, to our wills. In the End, by Breaking your Chains, whatever they may be, you are Free, but you are Only Free, because of the Force in the end."
"Peace is a Lie. There is Only Passion
Through Passion, I Gain Strength
Through Strength, I Gain Power
Through Power, I Gain Victory
Through Victory. My Chains are Broken.
The Force, Shall Free Me."
"That is the Sith Code, and that... is what I believe what the Sith Code to mean."
The entire speech was Passionate, and obvious unrehearsed, and with her usually Sexy and Alluring tone of voice, the speech became all the more Powerful. It felt too much like it was from the Heart and from the Soul for it to be rehearsed. Ravana truly meant every word of what she just said.
