Meditation Junkie
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The holocron's contents are structured in two parts.
PART 1: Treatise on the Lie of Passion, or: The Power of Serenity
Herein, Kel'eth Ur describes how he arrived at the realisation that fear and passion, the emotions so cherished by the Sith as the source of their power, were inherently unstable and transient and as such were an unreliable foundation. He advocates in favour of equanimity, and while not abnegating that power is in principle desirable, argues that paradoxically, in order to obtain it securely, one must let go of the striving for it. It is noteworthy that unlike the teachings of the Jedi, his philosophy remains egocentric and does not emphasise an element of compassion.
The treatise contains meditative and practical exercises by which a Sith willing to reform would learn to access the power of the Force through new avenues and cast off his dependency on inner turmoil. It focuses on telekinesis and enhancement of one's physical abilities, as well as the manipulation of minds. Kel'eth Ur notes that upon reaching his new understanding, he lost the ability to produce lightening, and concludes that this technique is unnecessary. The reproducibility of other types of sorcery and alchemy is not discussed.
PART 2: The Cautionary Tale of the Emperor's Search for Immortality (unfinished)
This part contains an unfinished account of the history of the Sith Empire during Kel'eth Ur's lifetime. It is largely uninteresting from the modern perspective except perhaps for its attempt at characterising the Emperor's psychological development, casting it in the light of his tortured striving for immortality, which the author argues to have been misguided.
DESCRIPTION
The holocron maintains the usual design - including inscriptions in the Sith language - and pyramidal shape, but does not have the characteristic Dark Side aura of a Sith holocron.
This object is a replica of Kel'eth Ur's original holocron made millennia ago by a Sith who had discovered his teachings and been converted by them in an attempt to protect the knowledge from extinction and spread it. It has endured the ages in forgotten corners among other useless artefacts in various Sith libraries with little attention falling on it.
It was purely by accident, or perhaps by the Will of the Force, that the item fell into the hands of Jedi knight Amilthi Camlenn during the recent attack on the Sith library on Ossus.
Strenghts
The holocron lays out a path to what is essentially the Light Side of the Force coming from the perspective of a Sith.
Weaknesses
The holocron does not contain knowledge of any techniques that are in themselves novel or rare or otherwise inaccessible.
