The silence...

[Omnihilus]

To weild the power of ultimate voids, one must have first traversed these ultimate voids.

Arriving at any given destination during ones journey is simply a realization based upon infinite principals.

Has anyone noticed the power of the silent masters? Has anyone ever witnessed a serene teacher who emanates the very universe in every move?

Perhaps this one emulates the universe and in this way has harmonized with all its power.



Darkness and light are not separate, though in my studies i have found it necessary to remain within the darkness whilst embracing and accepting the light. Light is force, fire, power, life, yes...certainly....


but there is that which gives RISE to this in the first.

Yet what is this silent sourceless source?

The Tao Te Ching shows us how it is neccessary to know the white, yet keep to the black.

It is integral to WHOLISTIC realization of ones self. From whence does light draw its manifestation?

Look about in space and see nothing but the void and know your answer.


Silence gives birth to all speech
Stillness is mother to all movement
Natural motion and speech are far more powerful than any contrived mechanism.

Who can deny the power of the black hole?
Silent, infinite, all powerful. It needs not press itself upon all others. There is simply a natural drawing-in. This drawing in is inherent in all matter and in all forms.

Yet we must learn to draw in without accreting to ourselves and clouding our pure darkness with various lights...blinding our true perception of what is....and is not....


Yes, true power lies within darkness and silence, and understanding....

but it is not until all vibrations of light and sound are harmonized in thier entirety that one will know complete darkness

it is natural law that the summation of all movement and light is stillness and darkness.

It is also due to this natural law that since at anypoint in Non/space-time, that there will be some sort of noise or complete silence.

The student is well advised to see this in the universe by the infinite stillness and silence of space, and the incredible cacophony of worlds and other clestial objects, for the two give rise to one another in the laws of relative perception.(but this is not ultimate perception)

Meditation is thus infinite and complete in all beings and forms and formless forms. Meditation as a practice represents the formative stages of this realization.
Also notice how the summation of meditation when referred to in ancient texts refers to the masters as "constantly meditative in all things"....this is how it is possible.

It is not something striven for; it is something realized, and it is the apprehension of the adept in most traditions...

Naturalness is a thing of darkness, for all of nature has arisen by its silent laws...

Therefore the Masters of masters exist but do not exist

thier speech is spoken but only heard by those who listen for the soundless

thier pull is felt only by those who have emptied themselves of all seprative notions;
those enfolded in darkness, holding the seeds of light.

thier power turns galaxies and forms worlds, yet cannot be preceived by any being within them.

thiers is the power of the cosmos

Even the force as men know it pales before the realization of mastery...

Yet in all this...they are humble....humble; as darkness is humble before light, yet it does not sacrifice its infinite being in the least for this...
(Understanding this teaching can be called a beginning of wisdom)

I've rambled enough...please forgive my arrogance in this...

[Master Thompson]

First thank you for posting the above insights.

To me, what I have just read (while interesting & insightful) to me mind you, reads similar to much of the ambiguous musings of Buddhism, Hinduism & some of the more cryptic of Asian philosophy's.

We all know at their core, both the Jedi & Sith Way essentually are comprised of the more specific and rich in explanation of the teachings of Christianity, Buddhism, Hindusim & Asian or Eastern philosophy. This being a fact and I being a Jedi Master and teacher have no problem with this fact. However I (personally that is,) have a problem with those that seem to, or like to regergitate the more ambiguous and cryptic rhetoric for the purpose of sounding metaphysical and deep in the knowing of the discipline they follow.

Now do not take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to bust balls and I am not saying that is what you have just done with your post, not at all. I however would like some clarification on what you have just posted. It's just that it reads a bit, well ambiguous is all.

[Omnihilus]

I understand what you mean. Its just that the way i explain things is done at first literaly and objectively, then as extrapolation is required, I reiterate. So everything is fine. Many translations of ancient texts worldwide have been replicated into myriad forms for this very reason!


I will explain it as best i can.

Darkness is One in and of itself.
It needs no other connections to sustain its manifestation...which is not (that's key)

All things arise within this infinite void and are sustained by thier relationship to other things

for example on a micro-cosmic scale:

A tree-

A tree can be said to arise out of the connections between the sun, water, mineral congregates, and atmospheric impurities.

Because all of these things are...a tree IS also. they are all one, each manifestation being but a part of the whole.

Another example:

You-

Your flesh arises out of the many connections between earth,the atmosphere, solar influence, and many other facets of this universe that affect us directly. Including an all important factor in all cosmic development(or evolution on a mass scale), both small and large: Cosmic influxes of radiation.

Every instance of particulate matter generates through its very existence within a void of null resonance, its OWN magnetic feild.
It is due to this magnetic feild that form can congregate. It is well known that the body itself has a magnetic feild which contains hundreds of thousands of energetic matraci routes(nerves,in thier various forms) throught, which combine in function to enliven and quicken the various parts into function.

All celestial bodies no matter how large or small and regardless of thier designation of matter; possess magnetic feilds.

From the Null to the Unified feild to the clestial feild to the planetary feild to the socio-personal feild to the Null.

From the incomprehensible un/dimensional "non/concept" to the to the Early hydrogen masses and dark matter to the first formation of stars in this universe, which gives rise to the formation of individual planets and individuals....all of which returns to the Incomprehensible un/dimensional "non/concept"...which by its very nature is infinitely less than and beyond itself.

such is the nature of what people refer to as....the force.
I simply speak of that which gives rise to itself and is utterly beyond its manifestations....

That is my explanation of what i have experienced of what is known as the force.


Meditation:
If meditation is seen as a way to connect with the force. Then all the universe is caught up in constant meditation through its very being.

Silence:
It is not that one never speaks. Its that due to the natural law of sound in the universe. Each sound is appropriate to its completely natural cause, and does not emanate unecessarily before or after the event is completed.

Now how many of us have such control of our speech as the universe?
Control of speech is oneness with silence and oneness with silence is control of speech.

Let us never forget that the ultimate aim of any being consciously aware of the force, is to use what gifts and inspiration they have realized, to aid in the evoloution in thier chosen world of incarnation (for form is myriad and consciousness, infinite).

this is the ultimate task of the master, and the very reason for taking the responsibility of an apprentice upon oneself.

Through Harmony of thought, speech, and the state of the flesh, we may move beyond these things in our true realization of self. In this way may we attain TRUE connection to...the force, as it is called by some. Realizing our direct oneness with the universe and that which gave birth to it...

all in one in none.

*sigh* sorry i tend to ramble alot. I've probably just messed it up more!

[Master Thompson]

Now that was crystal clear and very well written. Thank you sir.

[Empress Palpatine]

Are you by any chance a Kabbalist? Some of your references sound very Kabbalistic.

[Omnihilus]

Firstly to master thompson:

I thank you for helping me synthesize my exposition, it is truly appreciated.

And to Empress palpatine:
I am not a kabbalist, however there are core truths contained within hebraic mysticism that i am aware of.

(the system itself is far too dualistic and convolouted as i have noticed,it also presents the very real danger of shredding to peices the mind of the one who delves deeply without aim, even crowley himself moved beyond the kabbalah,after nearly being destroyed thereby; many say he was, i say it was part of his journey)


It is simply the truth that is inherent in all ways, and in all forms, that have passed, are present, and will be. That is why so many similarities are seen between what i say and what is...and has been.

I thank you both for your posts.

Are there many writings of others here that i may view? I see alot of fictional references (which contain vast truths within them), but is there any core material?

I enjoy exchanges.

(i'm new after all, i'll look around some more)

[Master Thompson]

Additional writings by other SITH...I would recommend you turn your attention to Darth Seti I. Shadim. He is a Sithist Philosopher, I find his laments to be quite interesting.

[Empress Palpatine]

Yes, you and Seti would get along well, I think (two peas in a pod).

What I have noticed about things like Kabbalah and the version that comes from India is how similar they all are, even if they came from different sides of the world in a time when there was no easy communication between countries. I am no slave to any one view. I like to compare them all like Albert Pike. By the way, the writings of Pike would be something you would like.

[Omnihilus]

I'll see about those various things. Thanks for the research leads.
