<content:encoded>&lt;![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;The first chapter of The Way of the Sith, for free here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction to the Sith &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This introduction will explore the basics related to strength and philosophical foundation for the rest of this book. The first steps to path of power are to uphold the creed or code and assign it the status it must have in our lives if we are to lead ourselves to victory, to freedom and breaking the chains. Without discipline and the passion and purpose that is refined by effort and application, then our lives are in disrepair or disarray, and suppression passion specifically, we are unfit for thriving in life. The Sith code says we must destroy the false hope of accepting things as they are, the freezing in time of a moment of cessation of passion or warring, to make that moment last is to become passive and passivity will lead to stagnation. Struggle against entropy or decay is the sign of a strong personality and requires courage to face tough times. This truth requires one to destroy the chains that exist within, either self-imposed limits or weaknesses due to any habits that distract you or leave you in a state of comfort or ease when you know you could achieve your goals and exceed your own standard. If you don’t attempt to break limits, limits that you leave unchallenged continue to impact your existence, the symptoms are complacency. The subjects of a modern state don’t have a code and so apathy or listlessness, a lack of direction decides their future rather than intentionally directing one’s own life as the Sith do.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sith code has six elements, symbolised by the Sith empire logo with six rays coming from the dark side of the force, or the Sith acolyte and adherent in the middle if you wish to personify it. The Sith Code first uttered and established the first element or truth (some call this a praxis) by Ajunta Pall, the first Dark Lord of the Sith, which all strong personalities seemed to follow loosely in his universe and ours, the creed is a guideline or mantra that explains how the few gain absolute freedom or a higher freedom that may follow from the betterment or achievements the code allows. The Sith code is as follows: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peace is a lie, there is only passion. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through passion, I gain strength. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through strength, I gain power. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through power, I gain victory.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last element is an acknowledgement and reaffirmation of the effect of the code, that we no longer see limits as anything other than illusions or delusions we affirmed day in and day out. The only power it held over us is what we choose, and at certain point the chains in the form of limits of beliefs or weaknesses of habit do not control us, but we control our direction, and we are masters of our destiny. Personal freedom gained by the aspirations for betterment or achievement is the ultimate justification, perhaps even to posses a spirit capable of withstanding any pressure, setbacks, or obstacles. This leads us onto to what acquires these abilities to advance or negative emotions to drive us there, our abilities or daily dominance is acquired from empowerment. To end disempowering thoughts, we do shadow work for mastery or integration, and empower ourselves through discipline or mental training. “Identity strengthens discipline. Discipline strengthens purpose. Purpose strengthens power.” (Sith Mastery channel on YouTube) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are really three pillars of the Sith Code on how we break chains in the real world. The beginning is desire is still true, but I would summarize the Sith code as little different to the way I initially described it. The secret to freedom and power limitlessly must be pursued and stagnation overcome only through an understanding of the Sith code and through empowering actions. The Sith Code can be summarized as follows; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peace is a Lie, There is only Passion - The negative emotions, particularly darker negative emotions, are a boon that fills us with a sense of ourselves and the energy and drive to overcome all limitations, and gain self-knowledge. Peace is the attempt to snuff out the natural ambition and drive we each have to live, to struggle, to strive to a purpose, to dominate. By calls for excessive restraint, peace or balance, do we start to question our own power and become our own enemy against our will. Our will is impeded before we have even begun to strive forwards, to grow, adapt and overcome all that stands in the way of our destiny, vitality or vision. These three elements are what modern states lack, we wish to realize this first in an Sith Order. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sith philosophy fundamentally views the light side of the Force and the associated traits, such as altruism, passivity, balance and emotional restraint, and thus the concept of freezing an external state in time by suppressing all desire, as an inherent path to weakness, decadence, failure and the collapse of systems. Through challenge, desire, and rivalry do we gain a higher freedom and realize a personal purpose denied to us by the light siders who fear their desire and power. Sith know that without struggle and rivalry, there is a suppression of drive and energy which weakens the individual by denying the natural ambition needed to achieve power and potential and let&#39;s unseen chains harm and hinder the individual’s refinement and development of the strongest character or personality. Leadership, charisma, power craving, and desires to seek glory are deprived of feeling fully or their expression. This stunted growth invariably erodes and ossifies the outward expression to be more and suppresses all negative emotions and desires, the negative emotions rots and festers within. That accumulated instability will vastly erupt in intense pain when challenged by loss, war or when truly tested. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peace does not aid power, emotional amputation is thought to produce outward calm, but it is not self-control, it&#39;s hidden and ends up ruling our actions when the understanding and experience of living ambitiously or with intensity would have given us the inner mastery of self-awareness necessary to act with self-determination. And not as a mere cog in the machine or automaton carrying out the programming and conditioning voraciously engineered by top-down systems, by religion, culture, family, or state institutions.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any negative emotions denied this way affect many others too and they grow magnitude in unconscious, leaving the fire burning too brightly when tested by anger, fear, death, and betrayal. Once the strongest realize they were fooled into thinking peace was real and their complete potential and internal power was chained, their natural next reaction is rebellion. Particularly the best students or adherents who showed potential and felt most strongly. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through Passion, I Gain Strength (First Pillar) - This is rivalry and struggle is required for freedom and gaining dominance in the hierarchy, and challenge, struggle, pain, and purpose is best way to advance and grow to gain more strength physically, mentally and emotionally. Strength comes in the forms of physical strength, emotional dominance, character, conviction and praxis. Rivalry is the ever-present fight against those human forces that threaten one’s relative position, forces of nature that incite regression among those who would stop struggling for life, and the stagnation that would result from these two points who fail to dominate those forces that subdue us. To strive always for one’s will without being subdued, threatened, or impeded for long, is wilful and sovereign. Passion is to struggle, this means overcome adversity in the ways of doubt, failure, setbacks, and fear, to go towards that of acting without fear or restraint in one’s desire or negative emotions to live, adapt, and faithfully procreate, or struggle in the sense of overcome those who would undo what we wish to achieve. To feel fully without restraint, leads to power and potential. What passion is for the individual is the inherent drive and energy, if you allow yourself to feel, the Sith is filled with drive to struggle harder than others, and this pushes the Sith to seek selfknowledge. A Sith earns inner strength and gains self-awareness. A passionate aspirant then forms his or her own passionate goals, these goals take the form of desires, needs, wants or purposes. Strength must be honed by passion, setting ambitious goals, and passion is the drive to follow through on those goals or the energy, like desire, anger, or ambition to commit or dedicate oneself to a purpose. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other forms of strength that one may acquire can come in the form of embracing passion, will, destiny, vision, breaking chains, vitality, creativity, mystique and charisma. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through Strength, I Gain Power (Second Pillar) - This is the process of disciplining the mind and training the body to obey the will. The use of routines, habits and rituals employs the power of the Sith philosophy to unlock our powers of; intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic power allows us to control our mind and bodies, controlling ourselves so that we do not err. The will gives commands down to the mind and body, which must be honed by passion to set ambitious goals, to not give up, and follow through on those goals. The will gives commands down to the mind and body, which must be conditioned to obey those commands and not postpone one’s progress or buckle under pressure when there is a great deal of effort or exertion (mind) or physical discomfort (body) to achieve a goal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through Power, I Gain Victory (Third Pillar) - Power is to be compelling in a way where one’s will or agenda cannot be impeded, remaining unimpeded to get ones way often leads to gain and advantage. Intrinsic power leads to extrinsic power over our reality, be it ourselves or over our environment and surroundings, and eventually be a force of will in the world at large. Once we become trained in the arts we learn to exercise our force of will to shape the broader external world and bend others to our Sithy wills. The main boon of power is to have an unimpeded will. Knowing that our world has changed, for the better or for higher structures and greater heights, we truly see that there are no limitations holding us back and we can destroy those fetters or chains that weaken or elements that hinder rather than elevate us. The will to resist that which threatens or undermines us and to strive towards ambitious goals to grow and advance, and to be compelling enough to fulfil one’s wishes which proves oneself for abundant gain and advantage summaries our way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through Victory, My Chains are Broken (An Individual Purpose) - This is a stage we reach many times, but there is a threshold of routines and habits that are practices used in breaking free from shackles. The shackles or chains can come in many forms but Sith particularly see the limits can be set into pathological ideas, memes, social pressures, social norms, laws, opposing philosophies, rules, regulations, indoctrination, and restrictions. There are many who might oppose our vision of the empire, our ordering of environment and surroundings, and how we maintain a hold over the temporal powers in the cosmos of the future. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We should not stop in our attempts to grow, advance or uplift ourselves. Our foes do not stop in their struggle to elevate their own religion or tribe. There&#39;s always going to be a foe that doesn&#39;t attempt to understand us or find a way to coexist. Usually there are those that wish to have what we have, to take what we have created or takeover our position we have in a hierarchy. Rest on your laurels and someone better will take your role and prove they are better versed in either our ways or philosophy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empowerment is the building blocks of a Sith’s rise to relevance and political power. That just means compelling groups to aid your rise or use them to facilitate a will or agenda when both sides see the vision, have the same ambitions, strengths, desires or goals. Empowerment is to strive to claim that part of ourselves back, as Sith we know the dark, we befriend the dark, we integrate with it, study it, instead of trying to act like doesn’t exist. For when the shadows are integrated do we gain our disowned power. We don’t disown any part of ourselves. Unlocking parts of the true Self that have been left alone in the darkness. We strive to claim that part of ourselves back, so that the force can flow through us unhindered. Breaking our chains, setting us free to act on our aspirations or will with our true power. The final ultimate factor, the defining path of The Shadow Order we are trying to create among all the other paths, is towards integration. Here empowerment and integration are interrelated, empowerment is internal, integration is internal, and we often empower ourselves by our disciplined habits, rituals, and routines that align our actions with our identity. Inner power gained over incremental change does indeed give us a sense of purpose, building up a purpose that then forms into vision, beliefs, and allows one to be highly organised. Without discipline and the passion and purpose that is refined by effort and application, then our lives are in disrepair or disarray, and suppression passion specifically, we are unfit for thriving in life.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sithism is the dark side philosophy and path of power that the Sith utilise to seek and explore to know the nature of power in all its depth. The primacy of power is to ask specific questions that may aid rather than hinder our rise to prominence or to become a force that shapes the world. We do not concern ourselves with asking what “Truth” is, what “Justice” in the abstract is, or seek “the Good” to live “spiritually”, and the expectation to rely on utilising “rationality” to understand how to live in peace or get along with others and adhere to all these abstractions. What we Sith are solely concerned with is the questions of how to acquire power, how to increase our power, and what are the laws of power, what is its pillars, tenets or precepts? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sithism is not just about the depth of the Sith path, it’s not merely to claim mundane authority, win physical victories or to be viewed as great leader in the lifetime of the select few. The Sith do not merely question the world with their rational mind or consciousness, but instead question the world and their own nature using the rational and irrational, conscious and unconscious sides of our mind, and what we may do with it, as opposed to pontificating on mere abstractions. So, we explore not just a way to claim physical victories, but how answers to the questions of how the world works and our own inner nature may be used in a manner that enhances our abilities and a way to empire, empowerment and endarkenment, and so shape the world to compel others and thus to gain influence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philosophy isn’t divorced from the abilities and the wish to fight others who believe in some absolute standard by which our civic duty, intellectual, physical or spiritual contests must be held. Instead, dark siders are free to fight with their shadow minds or fists as they see fit. Concepts are conjured up by the neo-cortex, so philosophy is about restating or rephrasing something illusory or basic states of our consciousness, or simply recognition of limits of the rational as part of our condition, we advance beyond that as we acquire a higher state of being. As we do so, by acting with wilful intent with what we know. At the heart of Sith philosophy is the understanding that we are architects of our own fate, not some distant and indifferent force. Our destiny is shaped by our thoughts, actions or choices. Though this is a good and correct suggestion, it misses a point that some Sith online suggest about our own worth, our inner awareness of our identity will determine actions. Identity shapes action, action shapes destiny. As we do so we gain control of the previous characteristics or facets of the previous states of consciousness, of appetites, feelings, and cerebral thought. Most mentation occurs in the realm of the unconscious, hidden layers of the unconscious where the will resides, and the spirit finds its expression. This is where most Western thinkers have ignored the keys to our betterment or empowerment, but correctly identified by Nietzsche that Western thinking has lost its spirit, high tradition, and its unique and ancient ethos. A shadow mind, beginning to awaken to its unconscious power and mental activity, is where a dark sider assess, perceives and understands their own intuition and sources of inspiration that can empower their will further along the path.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sith have always been about self-development, intentional growth, inner transformation and the discipline to wield power (the passion and dive towards inner mastery and greater power within) in order to form a force of will capable of shaping the world to create change and the vital source and dark force of concentrating and maintaining power, respect and loyalty. The three internal motivators are components that start with acknowledging and channelling your passions for intended outcomes, the Sith Eightfold Path of the weapons or tools of transformation and void meditation, coupled with setting ambitious goals and devoting several months to study and liberating oneself of one’s chains. Only then when you know the depths of your passions can you find the true purpose of your existence, rather than merely being obedient to external systems or servile to the whims or opinions of others and find your true power. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dark side according to the Darth Vader is the desire to rule the galaxy and make things the way he wants them to be. The point of courage is to not to be defeated and push a purpose and perspective to have sufficient power to gain victory over circumstance. We find answers to all of life’s problems by looking where we are not allowed to look, whether they be intellectual or otherwise. The most significantly trait to gain access to potential solutions is courage. To make the universe how we want it to be takes a liberated will that doesn’t easily fold and is capable of bringing orders down to your inner army, knowing your true self, gaining self-awareness, which is about discovering meaning and intent to compel you to act, the perception to understand reality and question what is detrimental, the willpower so that your body and mind obey your commands, and courage to create what you wish. The dark side is the force acting on human emotion, sufficient control over our burning negative emotions can manipulate the dark side energy within oneself and find clarity and direction that leads to focus and purpose to create desired outcomes. The dark side thus requires a courageous mindset; courage means the ability to take action fearlessly to undergo initiation, adversity, trials, and tribulation despite obstacles or threats (risk).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Courage can be put into words with a few simple rules: never yield or conform with other people that will undermine your passion, power, or desires or purpose, the Sith strive with commitment for a chosen direction or intention who fights for or upholds a personal high standard, a high standard not dictated by conventional morality or by consensus by the masses (that must be refined into duties, obligations, or responsibilities); second, no regret or shame because a lot of bad things that occur are actually a catalyst for your growth; third, face difficulty, setbacks, and obstacles with willingness and passion to advance ones will, this requires courage; like personal will/aspirations, vision, or beliefs, or desires (hunger), needs (basic sustenance), wants (productivity), and purpose (vision or cause); third, failure is the only real defect, a broken person is dragged down by it, but the strong rise above and learn from failure, the courageous move closer to their goals for the development of themselves and see failure as fuel for greatness and pathway to success or truth; fourth, resist the overconsumption of what has sought to starve our strength, alcohol, addiction, pop culture, or dependence that sap our attention and strength; fifth, we do not submit to controls and we do not believe in that which threatens us or weakens us; sixth, we do not delude ourselves to believe in ‘peace’; seventh, the force is knowledge, we seek knowledge so that it may grant us three pillars of the Sith code, strength, power, and victory- to break the chains; eighth, adversity brings power, status, or respect for someone with a forceful will. We what we call individuality is about breaking chains to achieve one’s goals and change the world to one’s liking, and that is our immediate environment and the surroundings, as well as the world in general, a forceful will forces the world to listen once his power is undeniable. A strong will cannot be impeded for long. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Courage involves purpose and a purpose is one’s vision or cause. A vision may be called a manifesto, structure, ideology, guidance, or discipline, for the oneself, the few or the many. A vision explains where we are headed in the future (long-term goals, strategic intent, future ambitions), a manifesto is more emotionally charged and a call to action that aims to convince the public to come together and hasten the formation of a common cause/purpose. While an ideology includes ideas to express a worldview clearly and applied ideas to put specific beliefs into practice. A manifesto is a vision that expresses ideas that are designed to incite action, while an ideology is the conceptual foundation of the vision one has. A vision includes a worldview and framework that builds upon four rules or pillars: courage, order, passion and excellence. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of the goals of our order require significant amount of courage and include the following: first, deny completely the overconsumption and addiction which saps the will. Remember, balance is just another way to say stagnation, you don’t need balance your impulses, you need to master them, addictions holds your will hostage to pleasure, so don’t let it, seek pain; second, we desire and wish to gain self-awareness and have the best level of inner control, direction and power; third, avoiding self-destructive ends is important for self-development and thus self-fulfilment, and ultimately to not become stagnant or to neglect your passions, passion fuels your power; fourth, we do not submit or be hindered too greatly by anything that attempts to control us and we oppose that which threatens us or weakens us; fifth, we do not delude ourselves to believe in ‘peace’ (we live in a universe filled with strife and rivalry); sixth, gain force mastery by facing and integrating your shadow self for empowerment with discipline, use the power of the force to make others submit to our will; seventh, overcoming weaknesses, issues, flaws, or chains, this is some of what our order stands for.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To accomplish learning to gain control of us and the environment, one must acquire strength and excellence to gain power, empowering oneself further with discipline and mental training to take those fateful steps towards realizing and creating one’s reality. Strength establishes an infectious energy and dominant presence, and that energy rubs off onto others, which aims to compel them to takes sides and consider your propositions. Power is when you display your potential, message, and narrative to compel and influence others to adopt your ways, behaviour, and follow your agenda. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Power as laws is demonstrating one’s command of a situation or event. Power extends ones will to an individual or a group. Spirit or destiny is your passion, worth and potential. Power is often synonymous with purpose, purpose is made of two elements; personal aspirations for achievement or success, and there is also the elements related to it like vision and beliefs. Finding our passions and building upon those passions will be filled with oneself, drive their aspirations. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aspirations are who we would like to become (inner betterment, what we wish our of our being, or what states of consciousness we would like to internalize), and what we wish to achieve (achievement or goals to overcome), anything less than aiming for excellence and dominance respectively (thus attain internal or external states or achievement suitable to us, and not concerned so much with performance) is not far enough i.e.. All Sith actually want to become the best/strongest and to not fail to gain power. Skills or potential is what aids us to define and cultivate our power to achieve a goal. Pushing against adversity, difficult situations or physical opponents is what cultivates strength in order to grow. Passion aids us to become better at survival in any environment if those passions are guided by wisdom or will (the wisdom to make sharp decisions for our betterment, or the will which is to wish to achieve greater things or become who we wish to be). It is true that all Sith believe they need to learn to overcome challenges. Where only the strong, ambitious, and victorious are able to single-handedly empower, evolve, and grow themselves enough to create their desired reality. Thus do Sith study and learn to build themselves up in terms of aptitude or skills to live free or to have the power to direct his own path. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A major part of the spirit of the Sith is the courage to master the spirit and confront the shadow mind. Desire and passion should come back to your awareness, passion and desire creates intent. Desire should push you to have an intention. Peace has been taught to most of us because we expect turmoil, so we want to embody stillness, and so peace is not stillness, stillness is the calm that is required to adjust priorities and align your intent to take control of your existence with daily action, action shapes destiny. Stillness is not peace, it’s just being relaxed or unexpecting, when chaos comes many people want to be at peace at first, but passion is not emotional intelligence, its emotional dominance, the excitement for living authentically, the life you wish or desire and striving for your will/aspirations. You realize with passion you have the power to subdue the chaos, to master and overcome yourself, until the chaos, which is flux, that arises internally and that spreads, that comes in times of turmoil, passion is your persistence to alter, change and mould circumstances until it suits you, your purpose. That action and discipline driven by passion builds or creates a purpose, and with it you carve your code of power and become more powerful, without purpose, then chaos may rule you. Chaos enters our lives as we forget to explore our passions, its neve too late to begin to discover what you are passionate about and walk the path of power. We have to be passionate about our physical, mental and spiritual growth. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ability to struggle is passion, passion is struggle and the drive to comes from deep within. There is constant movement and change in chaos, it’s the normal state of affairs that things in life alters constantly, things weaken or things strength, things elevate or devolve, things grow or stagnate, the in-between is a form of ossifying passivity and that only leads to stagnation, complacency is a symptom of the chains we let go on too long and that is because we have a unexamined life, we may be unconsciously conforming to the beliefs or ideologies of externalities spread in culture, the positional power of parents, teachers and authority figures don’t always have our desires, they do not care to empower in every age or civilisation. It’s always been the opposite in our lifetimes, we are told to help out others but never desire, burn, dominate, like conquer professionally or privately a victory, and that victory is what success looks like to you. So, when the turmoil comes and its inevitable, what we really want is to be able to deny that which weakens us, overconsumption, addiction or things that drag us down. With strength you can subdue chaos to your will. We want to clear away blockages or barriers, passion should be so strong that you are fuelled to challenge ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually, to raise ourselves up and perfect ourselves. It’s with passion and desire that we confront, face and become the dark (internalize it), true intentions and meaning can be discovered, the things buried deep within due to familial or societal programming, we can conquer ourselves. You are awakening the Sith within by following your passions (thanks to Ravana Nuun for this section).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By conquering ourselves we break or transmute weakness into strength &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(transformation), and overcome our base desires in favor of fulfilment and long-term gain, to empower ourselves more. The true traits and negative emotions to raise and perfect ourselves can be brought to the conscious forever. Passion creates strength because you are taking a situation and changing it to suit yourself. You awaken yourself by finding and tapping into the passions you desire. Find the top five things you are passionate about. Enjoy the delicacies of those desires. Dark negative emotions are the most potent for overcoming all blockages or barriers and to fuel our will/aspirations (thanks to Ravana Nuun for this section). So pursuing self-mastery starting with shadow work, and tapping into our passions is part of conquering the self, by obliterating the false ego and embracing the true ego, those command over the physical body, emotional dominance, character, conviction or purposeful action, these are a praxis to realize potent outcomes, in doing so, we become more like Sith. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good affiliation and being charismatic, seductive or a leader so that others will follow you is a path to success and power, but so is the drive to fight or compete with anyone on any disagreeable issue, even with brothers of like mind on any worthwhile, realistic or practical agenda or agreement. We the Sith foster good beliefs; it’s a power at our disposal, which basically means a belief aids us to create a desirable outcome, actions in aggregate towards instruction, guidance, and assistance towards creating talented, resourceful, and empowered individuals united by their wants for struggle, status, leadership, and territory is what contributes to creating order. Order is a meritocracy that favours the meritorious/strong and skilled hence the adage/motto order through strength. Order created around agreement on wants or desires, is extended function of state schemes, regional and local provisions which a Sith order would provide that is an extension of the will of the strong.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Courage is to not to be tempted by the death-fearing ideologies of the light siders, who seek to keep us in chains in the realm of thought, and we choose strength, power and potency over weakness and apathy in the realm of action; that produced the dire impotence, unambitiousness, and powerlessness. Action brings us a kind of renewed power and reinvigorates us. Action is the effects of will and perception, key components of any valid belief system. Will is aspirations for achievement or success, perception is Sith rules, Sith worldview, Sith beliefs, Sith protocols and adages among many other ideas. Learn to wield it, and it will serve you even into glory and towards the end of our lifespan, passion may even extend our lives long before you learn to wield it, infuses us with energy or motivation. Some purposes are better than others and lead to more power, but any singular person has a multitude of purposes that could fit their particular negative emotions and abilities, all that truly matters is never ignorant of what drives you forward and choose a purpose, build a process through a destination. There is always one purpose that grants one optimal energy, choose a purpose that guarantees an iron-resolve and the will that serves a purpose willingly and is never controlled in a such a way as to not change or divert your efforts without the permission of your will. Your decision to go along with any path or purpose is always more energetic and therefore powerful if you voluntarily choose it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action is what discovers the ways of strength, power, and victory, you always go through tasks or goals, a process, to reach any one of these pillars, and when it’s tapped into potent negative emotions like excitement, anger, hate, love, fear, ambition, passion, enjoyment or happiness or when it raises your instincts is when it produces vitality, strengthens the will, and hones your purpose. Culture and religion start in the body, in instinct. Instinct is the highest expression of a drive or will. Tradition is the second-order effect of instinct. The common cause of the Sith is to discover and gain strength, power and victory by the adherence to an ideal, not judging success by the purity of an ideal, something that you can do right now and overtime will forge you into something greater, built an iron will and influence that will last forever, making your mark on the world, lasting longer than any structure or regime. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Discipline, pain, challenge, or purpose are the building blocks of strength. Discipline is the stages and when in taking the initiative along with other components you will build a strong mind and gaining knowledge and sharpening your abilities. Until you undull your abilities, and free your mind with our teachings and praxis, the knowledge and abilities free one from this &#39;fractured light&#39; world. Obstacle filled, psychologically problematic and emotionally repressing world. We are surrounded by weaklings that refuse to defy nurture or nature to change working the jobs they are ambivalent towards or at times outright hate. We change, create, destroy, and transform and then we take steps to rise. As the Sith would say &quot;win or be forgotten&quot;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We journey to the dark places most refuse to travel; we embrace the unknown of what&#39;s to surely come. If we do not and refuse this whisper of truth and urgent pull or call from the true self to acquire the secrets of power and we are unlikely to grow and discover who we are and what we are.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people meander through opportunities oblivious to how much power they could have had, we don&#39;t wonder, we know how much precision it takes to identify and seize an opportunity. We believe with all certainty one thing, our destiny is in our hands, we are the architects and masters of our destiny. Let us begin to act like we give a damn about strength, power, and victory, and no longer be held back by our choices, by selfimposed limits or weakness, as each step taken away from our goals or spent on frivolousness is the start of us being dragged down and becoming mediocre or complacent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the way of the Sith, it’s the teachings and praxis of both a personal understanding of the Sith code, an interpretation that suits one’s negative emotions and abilities and where you are at currently, and how you can use the code to grow, evolve, and be your best version of that true Sith self that exists deep within your mind. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without action, the universe withers and perishes as it normally would have into the void, nothingness of which there is no returning from except as feebly as an image. Dark side seeks nothing more than complete liberation of an individual consciousness to that of a participant in the realm of action that does not fear death and embraces his death and finds that he seems to live longer than others in difficult circumstances.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;‘The dark side does not serve us. We serve the dark side. If we glorify it through our acts and our work and our art, it gives us power. It gives us life. Even life eternal.’ (Momin, to Darth Vader) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dark side is opposed to the light side system influence through ideologies and dependence that sap our attention and strength through life giving, healing, centring, collective, and its values of selfless love, compassion, charity, detachment, balance, and peace. Darkness is not just opposed to the light, it’s the power and passion of the dark poles, the phenomena and impulses that brings about a greater internal state of empowerment, where one can do things better then ever before or to be driven one cannot be stopped for long, and to be compelling enough to become indispensable to others in a hierarchy, or forge one’s own path, be self-sufficient, and never be impeded by somebody else’s whims whom may have some leverage over you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We embrace our negative emotions not by merely following them, as that can lead to merely being enslaved to our base desires, but by letting our will and/or wisdom grant us happiness and be a guide to lasting fulfilment. Passion combined with will makes us feel better and imbues our day-to-day actions with purposefulness and intentionality, our intent and meaning grows as we define and learn our purpose or goals, moving us towards strength, the strength to deal with tribulations or pressure and the strength to compel people to like us and take sides. We do not block our negative emotions passages that could turn enthusiasm to working on tasks and goals for both opportunity and strength, and to gain greater self-knowledge, a great power at our disposal. We face our inner demons, tapping into the pain, pain being struggle, failure, weakness, and vulnerability, and breaking the hold they have over us, and thus gain power over our inner realm for greater control, exaltation, and elevation over the self, to share our path and principles with others who follow us, and to empower ourselves to overcome obstacles and achieve our cause, mission, purpose, or goals. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passion is instincts and negative emotions. Passion is what elevates us day to day and what makes us feel good. With passion, we learn preparation and strength because we gain knowledge, and knowledge then leads us to wisdom. Wisdom is the storing of understanding and experience and retaining of knowledge, knowledge is just information and can become useless without walking it and knowing it. Passion is the culmination of our innate abilities and with will increases the likelihood of achieving your goals, passion pushes or propels you towards your self-development, growth and transformation and the goals are always towards those three forms of elevation. We use the inborn abilities to seek out experience. Our inborn abilities are what we learn to adjust, grow, and improve our understanding of them.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Examples of a Sith beliefs or a stronger identity are mainly inner control, struggle, devotion, self-respect, power craving, pursuing goals with passion, purpose, ambition, courage, discipline, mastery, autonomy, cunning and duty. We seek out others with matching passion; strong minds alike will improve their strengths much faster through competitive spirit. Strength when channelled through passion and will, will allow us to perform tasks to accomplish goals, improving our mental state, determination, discipline, energy and motivation due to the fuel passion provides. Will combined passion that fuels you allows you to do your tasks with strength and speed, so as to not be easily pressured or swayed, and with strength and victory you can break internal chains. With strength our potential increases and then does our power, leading the individual to break all external barriers and maximising our full potential because we learn to bear and overcome much with strength and power to channel that adversarial current and break the mental or internal chains, self-imposed slavery, and obstacles or external barriers that holds us back (chains). Avoiding darkness is like limiting growth, because it’s the other half of our psyche that is very undernourished by the society we live in.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passion is that culmination of those inborn abilities to overcome all trials, tribulations, and tests that we actively seek out to gain our knowledge and then to succeed where others have failed, to gather and store wisdom, the experiential fieldwork which then intensely will grow our strength when we do our task with drive. Why wisdom? With wisdom, problems are always solved. Power is oftentimes the wisdom we have, utilise, and discover, and with wisdom, we learn to adjust personal qualities or strength, power and destiny as the means for our ends to be attained, our passion which is to further our strengths by a purpose or goal. Matching a passion or an abundance of passion when it touches will (purpose) or goals, the greater the drive, the more effort you put into a task, and the faster you gain strength, does power then increase. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Discipline is essential to not live in disarray, disrepair, or disorganisation; it is foremost what builds us up sufficiently to have the discipline and mental training to grant ourselves the breaking of mental chains, binds, or fetters and to gain inner power or power over self is to control, transform and elevate the self, to advance in self-improvement seriously and develop ourselves through routines, habits, and rituals to a degree that we can complete our mission, cause, purpose or goal. Overcoming ourselves and therefore fetters, binds, or chains is a higher goal of our order; this is why we empower ourselves through discipline and mental training as this produces better results for self-mastery. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great obstacles require us to have great strength if we wish to use and take this strength further and use specific powers for specific victories. As Sith, we require fuel for our minds, and that is passion. Passion and strength are part of the dark side. The dark side is without fear or whatever will cause us to yield in defeat. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hold that all dark siders have some things in common: courage, the desire to overcome all cowardice, weakness, passivity, self-doubt, uncertainty, and stagnation. We also don&#39;t wish to be overly attached to another or things outside our control. Beliefs are what build up the talent or skill (merit) for what’s important to the Sith, self-development to achieve our purpose or goals. Merit means the reward we gain for being true to ourselves, the self-honour and respect by the energy and strength of our character. We struggle against all weakness and strive to become the best we can be; that is why we test ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually in the form of trials, tests, and challenges. Spiritual just means action, that is both virile and decisive, we worship through pain (failure and struggle, conquering one’s insecurities, illusions, limits, false narratives, and weaknesses), through joy, victory, attaining excellence, and pursuing perfection. Who does not want to be tested? The ability to command attention is a strong man battling with bad luck and inwardly all weakness. We’d rather try and overcome all limitations and thus raise ourselves up and try and fail rather than live a life of mediocrity. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Jedi do not fail, or how they failed in the fiction, they collapsed &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not just through external defeat but internal decay and rot in their ranks. The Jedi believed that peace is attained by removing disturbance, attachment, desires, and emotional intensity, and even to feel powerful but not seek power at all. Suppression doesn’t eliminate emotion; emotion is a gravity and force of with a life of its own. Thinking and feeling negative emotions inevitably brings pain, pain we embrace, blindly accepting impermanence and detach from feelings are not bad ideas but are hollow when offered without the advice, tools or the way to apply advice within context. Emotional suppression will always appear calm on the surface but produce instability within, especially when forced underground deep inside without reflection or guidance. Usually they simply offer emotional withdrawal and coldness and was often called discipline. The pain that follows from grief, sadness, anger, or resentment grows from suppression often due to chastising the human condition, which Jedi call wisdom (this paragraph is a reference to the Sith Mastery channel on YouTube). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emotional amputation is what is called Enlightenment. When people inevitably let their negative emotions fester from such dogmatic systems like the Jedi’s, whenever they show fear of loss, questioned doctrine, perpetual dissatisfaction or resisted total detachment they were met with ostracization, removed from positions, or quietly pushed out of influence, or exiled, and some even became Sith. Those who sought guidance to live more purposefully or with wisdom they are met with a cold doctrine, when seeking understanding from the council of master’s they were met with silence, when searching for an answer to vulnerability or confusion and begged for help they are then met with caution or suspicion like Anakin. Honesty only brought him risk, and secrecy brought him safety, thus it set up the conditions for his fall. This pattern never was corrected in the &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jedi doctrine, or the Grey Jedi, who fall more often to the Sith path (this paragraph is a reference to the Sith Mastery channel on YouTube).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dark side is part of every being. Recognising it’s a part of ourselves is the first step to learning its power. Strength is controlling our negative emotions. Strength is defined as the capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure. Strong minds are adept at battling or beating adversaries. Pressure, frictions, problems, odds, and difficulties are beatable obstacles; given that we are of finite strength, we must use it selectively, train up our discipline and mental training, so as to gain empowerment. We utilise and accumulate strength to further specific powers for specific victories over obstacles. Strength is the flow of persona, and it is an unshakable presence. Strength and power is being able to advance your purpose and gain physical (strength) as well as mental and spiritual (power) abilities to compel those around you to your way of viewing things and leads the individual to break all external barriers in your path; strength is also not being taken off your path. Power culminates in victories, which is obliterating the obstacles. We are more sturdily on our path after having developed, grown, and transformed on our path thanks to passion. Being strong in the dark side, on the other hand, is radiating energy, an energy that infuses us. The force is slowly enveloping over the galaxy; ever expanding, it makes us very much undeterred to be taking over and defeating light-side hierarchies and systems. The universe itself is what will do it with all things with that of entropy. We need strength to utilise power to reach great heights of organisation and do things without first taking orders; without it, we cannot use our passion to attain basic proficiency and strength to further our purpose and goals. Strength and power combined is a force that few can stand against, and few problems can’t be handled head on, use our mastery on a difficult task with. Strength is countered by will-sapping forms. Strength at times causes greater order where it did not even exist as a shred or piece in the ever-expanding universe, ultimately into the void or fabric of existence, that’s our nature to. It’s up to the practitioner to choose between poles that best fits his qualities or personality. Order is provision of necessary opportunities to fulfil the will and achieve personal happiness by assisting people to meet their own needs or wants and realize their goals and desires. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Energy is finite, a new empire is what it is like, it’s what it is in real life. Its tendency is mastery over space or environment socially, mentally, intellectually, and materially to suit the will of strongest/best and increase their numbers and enormous increase their vitality. Energy exists primarily in the higher realms. The afterlife sends souls to an Superworld, or an Underworld, it has hallowed halls, it has dungeons, and it has sanguine fields, beauty in places of preparation for the next life, and ambitious places destined for war, in these places of rebirth there is but one rule, there is no rest for the dead. Death can be filled with pain, but it’s also the source of our strength. If it has that then it has excellence, these dualities move into one another’s polarity. You can’t have friends without making staunch enemies. There is no such thing as “violence is wrong”, violence is a reaction against state force and their actions against the majority in violation of our code and ways, the reasons for pride and self-ownership. The world is filled with energy, that will be what empire seeks to increase shadow awareness of.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strength has a multitude of aspects for the aspirant or claimant, one that we choose before claiming our title. The enemies’ hold over our mind must be dispelled, and for this, we must make some life-changing types of decisions. Keen understanding of others is an empathy and the mental strength few people well versed in; an person with a grasp of emotional inner control and how sentiments can be used to uplift someone has all three advantages; a better more positive perspective of himself and what they are able to endure through to reach ones goals, stronger relationships, and a better understanding of people and how to compel and influence others. You have knowledge of your own biases, patterns, and habits, have the emotional regulation necessary to not be taken in by distractions that we usually don’t want for ourselves. It’s the tool to rein in the power of negative emotions and direct them towards a goal, calling on negative emotions that serve us when we need them to be unshakable. Emotional assertiveness is when you protect your negative emotions before anyone else’s; this keeps your gaze fixed on freedom and not some unrelated task. You won’t be clouded or controlled by other people’s negative emotions and opinions. An emotional being is one who does not allow his judgment to be clouded, knows one’s strengths and is supremely confident in the ability to not fear discomfort. Political influence or power relations is how charismatic you are by who you bring over or inculcate by your side, your way of viewing things, your plan of action, who you are as a person and what you value, portraying qualities or ideas that they find admirable.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Demonstrate your direction to your servants and allies, let them know you are a decision-maker, plan your decisions and take action so that your reality is assured, and you become indispensable in the hierarchy; that way, they will seek you out. Hierarchy should be based on one’s strength and ability. Mental strength or inner strength is utilising our energy and motivation on the right things and to accomplish them in the required time frame, in other words it’s what it’s your energy and motivation that allows you perform better ever before to achieve your dreams, self-efficacy which is basically the knowing that you can accomplish your goals despite circumstances, and by having a good understanding of our selves which can be said to be the following elements: aspirations, courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance. By furthering the understanding of ourselves does it lead to us gaining power, thus through the physical and mental strength do we endure conflict, struggle, trials and tribulations to advance and grow through which we gain self-knowledge and thus a specific power that can be used to gain control, transformation, and elevation of ourselves, which furthers our powers towards victory, that is success. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aspirations, courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance are Sith and Stoic virtues, aspirations being what the soul wants or desires, we iterate on our aspirations/will that precedes Stoicism. Aspirations towards our acquiring achievements and success, an intent and thus a direction towards moral unity and victory or divisiveness and failure, courage which is the ability to put oneself through risk and trials and tribulations and to undergo fears for a purpose, justice as this is the beliefs we hold that separates us from the pack and increases our power, wisdom is what you utilize to make sharp decisions for betterment or empowerment, and temperance is what is required to control and master our base desires, so that we can command our mind or body to obey us, commanding our minds and bodies to serve our will/aspirations. Will forms into intent and meaning, which grows as we study, observe, and testing what we think we believe or take for granted over time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Power makes it possible to create and gain management, resources, and influence to make a mission, cause, purpose, or goals accomplished of the organisation or association, and be in charge of something sturdy and legitimate in the eyes of those who serve and support the organisation or association, because they believe in the person who created it. Influence is to bend others to our Sithy wills, often to change behaviours and ways of others and mould minds to be receptive to your vision for the future, resources is networking, career advice, education, and training leading to our betterment and empowerment, and management is empowering others so that they become successful in any aspiration. Aspirations, vision, and beliefs, or purpose, is what forms the reality that they wish to create, it’s the direction and self-definition or self-conception. Aspirations are the needs or desires that one forms through experience, and this form of individuality ultimately is what guides the Sith which means he needs a master to provide guidance, instruction, and inspiration until he can realize his true self, and thus have the power to realize his desires and learn how to control outcomes. The master acts as gap between the apprentice and his true will. Coming up with our passion and building on those passions allows us to advance those aspirations, thus it is true that power is our passion, and passion can be a source of power tempered by wisdom.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sith beliefs that seem to surround those who gain a modicum of power in our order and aids them to survive in a harsh world is the following; liberation, inner control, individual will, self-discipline, pragmatism, self-centeredness, absolute individualism, independence, vitality, determination, perseverance, personal ambitions and beliefs, passion and mastery. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now to suggest personal regimen: A dark sider must choose where he will excel and how to use a sword, wakizashi, or bo (or black or red lightsaber) too. The universe doesn’t like someone who isn’t willing to protect when necessary or to consume less resources by not needing to be bailed out all the time by friends and allies, be it due to apathy or what have you, or should not be illiterate or lazy in anyway. Learn to be physically fit. The increase in your physical health will in turn improve your mental health, a healthy mind is a powerful mind. Training will also increase your skill, physical fitness and physical power that can aid you in many tests and trials that life throws our way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your ideal then must be passionate for it to be of any use, and passionate for places to impose rule for our order. Our passion that we envision and have is what and when we are fit to choose our freedom, to do as we have the freedom to, freedom received through our achievement. Passion is beautiful. Where our true passion lies is where it will grow and flow. Like a jug, it takes the shapes of us so that is most suited to our purpose; the more water there is, the more it can be utilised and directed to a purpose, making us put our best into what we do. Without passion, then, we would sooner lose, weaken in impotence because without passion, we do not have strength and grovel rather than rise up on our own selfmade status and rank. To heed it that is most useful to us, because it fits our own accord, our selfishness entirely to its most practical ends. Remember this, would-be Sith. Passion is putting out every stop, putting most of our reservoir of passion into breaking the shackles of chains. The force shall set us free since with it we break the shackles. We also don’t believe in service; we serve no one but ourselves. Though in victory we break shackles by breaking the enemies’ obstacles, the force shall set us free, and we set ourselves free from their conditioning of our minds and self-imposed slavery. Free to be ourselves, we break the shackles of whatever is enslaving us, like social conventions, complacency or stagnation, weakness, issues, trauma, narratives, your enemies or the Jedi order and the light side’s paradigms (ideas) currently dominating the planet, spreading weakness, feebleness, or pain and they have no agreed-on solution to it. The Jedi-minded that currently govern the nations are corrupt and decadent, so Sith seek justice, prosperity, security, and order.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tools of the Sith are many, one kind of set of tools is our identity or character, this can be said to be; inner control, struggle, devotion, clarity, determination, self-respect, power craving, pursuing goals with passion, purpose, ambition, courage, discipline, cunning, mastery, autonomy and duty, at our discretion we utilize these tools. The tools are what enables us to gain respect and individual power, we also empower ourselves by way of discipline. Why? We can build up various skills as a form of power since they accomplish the goal of achieving something greater, like extend the reach of your will in your chosen discipline or field of specialisation. As Sith, we wish to gain power over self, this power is your ability to acquire a dominating presence and infectious energy, and is grown by the pursuit of; control, transformation, and elevation. Control, transformation, and elevation of the self or power &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;over self, that’s what the true self wants, then we are using our will to; control which is to govern the body, mind, will or destiny through challenges that test us and our growth, transform which means greater knowledge about oneself that we need to fulfil a purpose, find strengths we didn’t know we had, and transmute weaknesses into strengths or outright destroy weaknesses holding us back, and elevate ourselves which is to achieve self-worship or apotheosis which so that we can gain respect, and praise, but those who know they are like a god know that they held the power within them all along, like the ability to create and destroy our destiny at will, manifest our purpose, intention and desires, and the capability for infinite power belongs to the endarkened individual. Also it means ultimately to shape reality to our will and obtain territory and produce a order that can be a force in the world that can bend others to their will, beckon similar-minded people to our deep truths, vision, or mission that will be compelling to all; inevitably, we all want it: knowledge, strength, power, and victory to destroy the obstacles in our way, overcome worthy adversaries and gain domination and prestige (get our way often or for our personal choices to be unimpeded, and be regarded as essential in a field or discipline). Sith having thought through the implications of their understanding of observable reality, they will take on, takeover, and overtake rivals and prevent them from being able to hinder the achievement of our cause, mission, purpose, or goals. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passion is given to even the most non-gifted and gifted, for passion also burns bright, giving its recipient enormous potential like the fire that keeps growing or water that fills us and cannot be put aside. Potential for action like metaphysical visions, leading in business and spiritual awakening, and for magnificent works of art and forward momentum that breaks the mould in events. Passion is an individual unafraid to show differences. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weakness, ignorant of one’s abilities or negative emotions, or apathy is counter to a Sith way of life and the nature of the dark side of the force. There is no real order to the world as we know it; all too pervasive currently is the strength and force deficit, sapped unknowingly by light-side system thought and influence, alcohol, addiction dependence, entertainments, peace, love, and controls. If there is any real order, then it’s beyond all comprehension. Power is the real nature of the force according to I, is the power cultivated by our own works, power that changes the world and the power for all spheres of activity, that which benefits us, to give or receive favour, the power to make our it as we so choose by using the force to rise to a great status and rank, its insight and beliefs and our temporal closeness to beings of infinite power. It’s the ward of the Sith state to protect from entities, to ensure guarantee success on the battlefield. We always begin with the I for providing order; we in fact seek it, and with power, we should have lots of hope and there are receptive minds to be drawn to it, of achieving it. As much as the cosmic limited void exists, we are certain in our hopes, we have utmost faith in this as Sith, and we don’t try to draw fairy tales on the nature of the universe, sky castles, and unrealistic hopes. Force power is drawn by our disciplines. Our faith in our hopes for order is rewarded, and that shall be a glorious day when we take every foothold of this earth. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These separate yet egotistical groups have a shared mission or cause and goals which I refer to you now. We wish to have acquiescence to our true purposes, to have full cooperation, united front, and make good use of resources that the modern world has for us. And with strife, so that we can claim titles that best fit our power to that of status, rank, and state of being. This is part of the way of the Sith as part of our goals. We wish to be educated to change society; thus, a Sith is never ignorant or lazy. We wish to be free from restraint and hindrance from all possible sources as our true sovereignty that can be ours, with power and passion flowing from our source for all of our followers and initiates, creating a endarkenment across the universe that encapsulates the favoured maxims, rules, ideology, beliefs and principles, and that fits into the overall plans of the dark plan and grand plan of the dark lords.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passionless stagnation is defeated by passion, which is to be ready to push along regardless of obstacles and not give in, as well as the weaknesses of stagnation, the things that sap our willingness to stay on the path; that lack of passion prevents us from really advancing further the strengths and powers we could have for victory and then freedom. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Self-development, growth, and transformation are core to the Sith ways. Our growth and transformation are goals of our spirituality, and selfdevelopment as the goals of refinement of potential, like training, affinities, passion, talent, skills and growth, which is wisdom, knowledge, power, and awakening, and transformation as to turn weaknesses into strengths or outright destroy weaknesses, do discover your true strengths and so as to become greater than you where before. The individuals that make up the dark side bring us together to have freedom from chains; that is our overarching goal, by battling avoidable pain, like weakness, powerlessness and dependence which produce the pain of today. Although there is also unavoidable pain like struggle and failure. Chains such as stagnation, easily toppled, pressured, or forced, external barriers and self-imposed slavery. Chains create an intolerable condition of being weighed down by those chains. Fetters, binds, or chains cause us pain or anguish. Thus, we are always looking for a way to break the chains and extract the knowledge and backing it with action that most benefits us. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recognising the objective difference between behaviour with consequences we abhor and behaviour which averts it, knowing the difference and thus preventing negative consequences from accruing to ourselves personally, being aware enough that we can avoid such pitfalls in our lives. That means we forego diminishing or disrupting the lives of human beings wherever it may be. This is because we are against control. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hindrances is what causes a natural consequence that we wish to avoid as much as possible (law of cause and effect), and it is about being more free to act according to our will. This is so that we do not suffer or undergo debilitating suffering, agony, or pain. This is most important in the aggregate so that we do not impose slavery or chains upon others through a wide variety of controls like states and religious arbitrary authority stagnating ways; lacking spirituality (the action that builds organization, nations, civilizations, and empires).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Sith realism focuses on creating is the basis for greater things, such as potential/destiny, betterment and empowerment, and inspiring speeches and personal visions. I believe that this vision should be to adhere to path of power and objective reality; so that means to realize social order and cosmic order (traditional beliefs and traditional family). Praise and attention is given to the weak and the sluggishness of peace, all assumed by virtually all states. We need to maximise potential by adhering to a standard that has adequate growth of our affinities, talents, and skills, as a person who doesn’t adhere to pathological ideas and narratives but rather accepts what is in his or her best desires or purpose and is compelled to go along with what furthers principles that serve us. The cause is one of breaking the imposition of self-imposed slavery and mental chains as this is the code of the Sith, and being empowered to obliterate all obstacles in our way is part of the end of the code. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The actions we choose to take daily have a lot of truth to it. It has weight and crosses into the future; it is the action that leads to success as well as goals. In the long run, it would not have worked to reinvigorate (and without its truth) after some time. It should be aimed at or moving towards further action (like goals and conquests) and by measuring its victories. Goals ensure we solidify our rule and goals aid to educate our kind.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To succeed and fulfil ones purpose, a person requires a certain amount of passion, once met we are more likely to engage in a Darwinian struggle; this is a process that naturally evolves the person or organisation to greater heights. To outcompete a rival, we use the fight-or-flight response to a situation, reinforce the environment, etc. Now we compete or cooperate for a new position, head of a project, higher (more exalted) status, etc., which may produce conflict, and competition, which is conflict. It builds strength and makes life worth living; with it we evolve to reach the state of being we have today and by becoming stronger with our negative emotions, our contempt, aggression, desire for power, and anger, which strongly encourage the will to conflict with circumstance, making our mark upon on the world in terms of accomplishment and feeling our best. We try to exist, overcome an enemy, garner acclaim, and form alliances, passion is not merely enthusiasm. We use passion to engage in a struggle and fight to gather position and vanquish all foes who may stall or stop our will or agenda. The life’s assignments, tests, trials we undergo are there for us to utilise our strength; you could say it’s our fate as Sith. We finally gather the strength and power we need to overcome any obstacles that come our way. Without conflict, without struggle there is only death and decay. True suffering is the weakness in oneself and laziness. Our place is conflict, its only through that we can find our strongest aspects of our self and motivate and energise us towards accomplishing an difficult task and overcoming obstacles presented before us so as to manifest our will. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You need a certain level of strength to be able to work on an aspiration without succumbing to personal limits that where imposed on us. Obstacles will push us to our limits physically, mentally, or spiritually, demanding us to work on ourselves or never push or budge it. Discipline and inner control is essential to not live in disarray, disrepair or disorganized; it is what builds us up sufficiently to have the discipline and mental training to grant ourselves the defeat of mental chains, binds, or fetters and to gain inner power. Overcoming ourselves and therefore fetters, binds, or chains is a higher goal of our order. This is why we build up our own discipline and mental training as this produces better results for self-mastery. It would be unlikely and therefore unlucky not to engage our mind so. Great obstacles require us to have great strength if we wish to use take this strength further and use specific powers for specific victories over obstacles.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Sith, our minds require fuel, and that is passion. Passion and strength are part of the dark side. The dark side is without disparate fear or externalising of deities and whatever will yield us in defeat. Strength conquers, therefore it conquers surrendering and yielding. It beckons and changes the world to our will and everyone else feels its pull, everyone will know a better way when in close proximity to someone who is strong in will. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sith meditation points: All of this is not a matter of chance and blind luck. We develop ourselves first before we can lay claim to many conquests. We worship and make offerings to trade for power; we void meditate to become more passionate and powerful. Focus our attention so as to better direct our thoughts to eventually learn to use our thoughts to get what we desire most or our goals. Bring attention back to the present moment where we exist, filter out useless chatter or social constructs that we are bombarded with day in and day out, uncontested competition, a strong preference for discomfort and for the achievement of ultimately our victory and break your chains of complacency, self-imposed slavery and weakness, and of course, obstacles. We can call the primary Sith meditation, void meditation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Void Meditation&quot; is about &quot;entering the void.&quot; The void is deeper than the subconscious. The benefits of void meditation are the ability to turn off unwanted thoughts and influences at will, being able to control your thoughts instead of you being at the whim of thoughts, and a sense of inner power. By integrating both hemispheres of your brain and allowing them to work in sync, you will experience an increase in overall mental health, enhancing cognitive performance, memory, and intellectual functioning. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, get your entire mind to be completely still and free of any thoughts for a specified amount of time with no thoughts or music in your head. Breath through the diaphragm, breath only through the nose, breathing in through the mouth won’t usually work. Focus only on either a object around with your eyes slightly open or on your breathe.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your mind should be a total blank. You should focus on being in the here and now. For beginners, five minutes is fine. Intermediate and advanced practitioners can go anywhere from fifteen minutes to however long they feel is essential. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally there is the ultimate victory of the Sith. The ultimate goal of any Sith is the freedom one attains from the obliteration of one’s temporal chains. This is what one can do in the interim between power and victory. That is where the process of utilising one’s power of beliefs, tenets or observance of natural law to break the chains that binds one to a web of lies, the control matrix that the elites of the world have manufactured to create a docile, mediocre, passive and useful only to be competent enough to get by in one’s day job but not strong enough to know when you’re being taken advantage of by being kept dependent on others. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That isn’t to say that independence, self-reliance, and self-governance which makes one self-sustainable is all that we’re about. That’s the advantages of freedom when one reaches its pinnacle. Rather, it’s about the relinquishing of one’s chains of stagnation (passion), succumbing, easily toppled, pressured, or forced, and the mental chains that degrade oneself and that which is detrimental to realizing ones will or purpose (strength), feeble purpose, servility or dependence (power) and then secure victory from chains by one’s power and then achieving success in some way, form or fashion which breaks all external barriers (victory). The blockages or problems that binds or weighs us down are finally toppled through the Sith path for success. You gain real wisdom and knowledge about yourself and about the world in general, with this you gain great vantage point for opportunities, you also know will know yourself better and how to control your triggers or reactions, your experience will act as initiation of sorts to develop and grow your spirit, destiny, or potential. Break the limits that have been conditioned and programmed into your thoughts, and you break free from the restraints on your power or potential. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perspective is what’s of importance to an individual about the world which is about person, place or things, it’s the relative benefit, neutrality, and harm by the way of mental peaks and valleys. Perspective is informed by many aspects of our existence and our state of mind but its usually regarded as one of two parts of the subjective universe; purpose and perspective. Purpose or aspirations/will is what you have to accomplish by way of personal professional accolades, creative endeavours, sociopolitical projects, or personal achievements expressed by goals and desires, and idealized inner state of being or your future self-concept like pride, happiness, love, hate, fears, speciality, empire, peace, status, power, glory, and sense of personal pride, these things are of internal states of the will that you idealize and desire to transform into. Success is how well you have achieved or granting yourself power through making creating changes in your subjective universe so that you are better than before. Aspirations means achievement, idealized inner state of being, or overall success. Aspirations, vision, and beliefs is what people often refer to when they say they have a purpose. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The imposition of limitation and hindrance is what the shackles are because it drags down into stagnation anyone who wants a better life for themselves or others at times. The path of moderation is never going to create individual power but will stifle change and transformation and thus will jeopardise ones power at every turn. Whereas reforming a system is impossible when the system is decaying from an incorrect foundation. That foundation in the modern state is anti-tradition, which wants complacent, easily malleable and docile workforce. Major weaknesses are fear, selfdoubt, cowardice, self-loathing, resentment, uncertainty, and complacency, other fetters include backsliding, arrogance, wrong views, ignorance, spiritually weak, naivete, addiction, listlessness and apathy, and entitlement. The hindrances of the impedes the will of the aspirants; degeneracy, risk aversion, oppression, blind following, anti-personality, dependence, and decadence. Weakness, decadence and collapse is the result of peace, wherever it may arise. Limitations are weakness (fetters), issues, and flaws. Fetters are enslavement to falsehood, things that do not conform to the will of aspirant. The ultimate cause of these problems we face in our life that diminish one’s personal growth, you may raise your goals and aspirations but find that you continually berate your own results and have a clouded perception which will make you feel like you’ve come short and it breeds failure.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perpetual reasons for distortion of reality that seems to infect the lives of many in this day and age is addictions and passivity, these are chains and fetters which produces suffering. The most natural thing in existence is to free ourselves from conditioning. By denying ourselves selfdiscovery and self-actualisation, we allow repression of negative emotions, characteristics, traits, the repression of good, bad, beautiful, and ugly. Self-limitation causes anguish; self-limitation is always a constraint on your growth.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Self-limitation is an artifice of programming that holds one back, to claim a victory is to gain forward momentum, freedom, mastery over the self, success, create your own reality, to mould and shape the environment and surroundings according to your will, and raise yourself up by your own hands, in other words for your betterment. Victory is to overcome trials and tribulations in your path whereby we enhance our abilities enough to create our own reality. Weaknesses are limitations, boundaries and restrictions. Beating back self-limitation is gaining the effects of selfreliance and independence, as well as doubling your power. Issues are the things that cause you grievances, turmoil, or cause error in your dealings; issues may be mental disorders, psychosocial disabilities or mental states. They are issues, and conditions encompass various cognitive, emotional, and behavioural issues that may cause concern or distress or impairment in functioning. Flaws are the toxicity related to actions and abilities of that persons strengths, to such an extent that this is inappropriate, bias, limitation, imperfection, personality disorder, deficiency or problem that does not serve us, when a measured response was needed to cultivate a magnetic persona and direction. The most common types of character flaws are doing the right course of action but; (1) catering to the wrong crowd, when you aren’t reaching the target audience, (2) not fairly representing alternatives, (3) muddying the waters, and (4) making a mountain of a mole hill.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What the Sith strive to achieve is to be less reactive and to be as responsive as possible, so that we can act with control and not submit to weakness when our triggers come up. Instead its to be active and responsible for our own actions and never letting conditioning or circumstances dictate how we should behave or what our personalities should be like. We rather want consistency, character that is immune to being manipulated by others, not grasping over our false ego, and embracing the true ego that gives us strength when we need it. The weak parts of ourselves are burned away by much of our inner work that we will be venturing into next.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inner will can be stated as what we need on this journey to become, the will of our becoming in the psychic aspect of ourselves. We should be determined to make that part of ourselves, our loves, hates, endarkenment, enlightenment, i.e. that structures our lives or determines the quality of our inner reality, the thought-forms, desires and negative emotions, for that is what our awareness or intent will be turning into overtime. What we wish to be in the near future, our states of consciousness we wish to have that demonstrates intrinsic to extrinsic power. Internal states that all beings with a spark of power may find useful towards shaping reality; intensity, inner peace, hatred, love, passion, inspiration, submission, conquest, authentic pride, inner control, self-respect, power craving, passion, clarity, ambition, courage, struggle, devotion, duty, discipline, mastery, autonomy, cunning, aesthetic experience, beauty appreciation, ruthlessness, self-honour, determination, perseverance, warrior ethos, mysticism, potency, energy, dark intellect etc.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The colour red is symbolising anger, wrath, sexuality, and passion of those hungry for something greater, and the colour black symbolising the night, and the dark side of life and death. The night can be said to symbolizes the hidden, shadowed, and unconscious realms of the spiritual universe. Perfected qualities are what we will finally become in actuality when we transform, red and black together symbolise passion and will. Strength proceeds from integration. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The inner will can be this and other aspects or facets too, such as the desire, excitement or love of freedom, state-power and authority, and the lynchpin of all Sith beliefs, which is the need for continually adaption and improvement.Outer will is what the realistic goals are about the external world that we wish to take on board and thus achieve, such as personal or professional goals, physical or creative goals, relationship or family goals, spiritual or financial goals, political goal or interpersonal goal etc etc. This is the things we wish to know, the things we want to experience in person, and places or persons we wish to find, and the things we wish to manifest into reality. What we wish to be of outer will is an essential element of our journey, both metaphysically and in the physical realm, the inner will is the aspiration behind what we wish to become. Every journey starts with a few steps, and these are the most useful of all those steps because they are the first few towards realizing our inner reality that then manifests naturally and as a direct consequence to the outer world, inner master becomes world mastery as surely as dark side looms over the shadow earth (thanks to the Dark Lords for the dichotomy of inner will and outer will). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who are the dark siders? Black Sunnism, Black Ninjutsu, Dark Mentalism, Chaoism, New Rome, Vitalism, and Sithism, and the darkness that comes from within due to frustration, hate, fear, anger, ambition, disappointment, resentment, pain, untapped desire, craving for power, desire to control our own destiny, and is that shadow mind is where the dark negative emotions are relegated to; the negative emotions and actions that create a lens to view the dark side is built by anger, hatred and suffering that empowers us the most, internalization of the dark is what all dark siders have in common, if put into speeches it inspires those around with similar passions if we’re are so inclined ourselves and makes our presence and words impactful. Some examples of the dark occult are the following spiritual systems; Qlippoth, Tunnels of Set, The Black Path, Dark Paganism, Draconian Current, Vampyre Current, Necromancy, and Luciferianism. These are all spiritual/metaphysical systems, which are magickal, magick is the art and science of understanding the self and altering conditions in accordance with our will (according to the Wrathful Chaos book by Arioch). Learning to manifest your will or desire to gain a particular outcome. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dark lords may come in three doctrines or groups, systems of thought that can wish for their own emancipation or self-liberation and evolve systemised practices for freeing themselves from fetters and chains. There are (1) objectivists, (2) occultists or sorcerors, (3) Emperorists or planetary imperialists.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Objectivists value reason, self-interest, and reality. Objectivists &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;believe that only through voluntary trade and cosmopolitanism can they achieve lasting fulfilment and well-being. Objectivists highly value their own ascendancy, self-centred happiness, and ethics based on their reason, which can only have capitalism as the system capable of achieving coordination and selection. Singular minds can create a plan of where we are headed, when to take breaks, and how to take the object to the right place, a single voice to decide an effective plan is systematically more productive than the many plans that can exist or come from many minds, because of natural law and hierarchy the embedding in our genes a form of submissiveness to allow our body to be submitting to a leader and not resist the collaborator and leader. Authority naturally develops in circles of man where we don’t fight much about which should be the leader. It’s usually agreed upon and is best achieved by a single mind planning and having a hierarchy of command. Other systems ruin the efficiency of single-mind planning. Selection allows some people to have the right resources to achieve their hopes and dreams. Getting money into your bank account is due to people producing products or services people will give you money for. Those who are the best at serving others have a valued skill and definitive purpose to meet definitive demand, or who had parent who did so or grandparent etc. Thus, it served a person’s moment-to-moment desire or purpose suitably. Achieving innovation and growth and having the best people who need resources and can use their productive force for the better can do so under capitalism. Productive capacity is maximised by a capitalist system with the ethics of objectivists so that altruism or selflessness never supersedes individual well-being, rights, and beliefs, which they wish to maximise. Only the individual unit counts for political and economic change. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Black magic occultists value different things based in which branch of the occult it is, both value philosophy, psychology, and mythology. Irrational occultist is one who beliefs imagination and assertions of will, preferring to peer into the psyche from the perspective that anyone can achieve almost anything and using the elements of myths and magick to weave inspiring stories, produce motivation and energy by igniting our passion and spreading dark ideas. The rational occultist beliefs reasoned arguments the most, whatever change occurring in the mental realm can result in actions in the objective world. Reasons and thoughts we have can be used to justify and convince the myriad of occultists to take certain actions and foster agreement on fundamentals like fostering a better connection with the psyche and valuing and achieving the goal of selfworship. Particularly emphasizing that we require study, growth, and experience to acquire. It takes a lot to ignite our inner force to have passion and bring about the true self or the real ego. It is the valuing of culture to the degree where it supersedes degeneracy and internationalism. They see those forces as inherently acidic or degrading the bonds of culture, ancestors, clan, and neighbourhoods that keep our ideology and knowledge of the force, methods of attaining power and darkside force power.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The emperorists can only ever want to set the tone or vision for their territory, a continental, planetary or space empire to defend their traditions, culture, and history and achieve an organic state or traditional state, presuming that all should be for individuality to prevail over competing basis for human well-being and flourishing. Organic is code for tradition, the eternal or perennial truths.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emperorists believe in the revitalising force of Western civilisation and that must be energy, self-honour-bound and duty-bound groups, strength, order, honor, excellence and ambition. With these high order beliefs, everyone needs these ancient lost beliefs to overcome all obstacles, whether they be physical impediments to gaining real world power or forces of nature that lower man to baser instincts or that raise the consciousness and begin empowering and endarkening the mind- to empower us so that our actions align with our will. And achieve our destiny together so that only imperialists will rise from the ranks, this is because of their discipline, coordination, devotion, spirit of sacrifice, and duty. This is because imperialists understand that people thirst for authority, direction, and order. These revitalising forces create a vehicle for the restoration of social order and cosmic order, which is created after social order is accomplished. Some Sith place power, magick, and will at the forefront of the raising up of an empire because that can be what produces power structures and moves the Overton window to venture into the dark and be unafraid of the dark and find our true self as negative emotions and traits, as well as realise the shadow self to be the most powerful. Nothing can detract us from this unique goal of personal greatness. We shift the Overton window via victories and for intangible victory through memetics, gain strength in interactions and conflict, build a support base, power structures, individuality, spirituality, natural law, hierarchy, rules, beliefs, and adages. We also want to create greater organisation, intricacy, and power that only those who embrace the darker side of nature, particularly the dark-side impulses and what they can achieve, what Howard Blood calls the Lucifer Principle. &lt;/p&gt; ]]&gt;</content:encoded>
