The Five Core Precepts of the Classic Jedi Code
I. There is no emotion, there is peace
This principles guides all meditations and interactions with all others. It reaffirms the Jedi ideal to act without recklessness, and to view the actions of others through the pure lens of the Unifying Force.
II. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
Those who don’t understand this basic precept are quick to fear––and fear is the path to the dark side. The Archives represent the greatest collection of knowledge in the galaxy.
III. There is no passion, there is serenity.
A subtle extrapolation of the first precept, this reminder to act dispassionately in every deliberation extends to personal obsessions and is a reminder not to elevate the self above the mission.
IV. There is no chaos, there is harmony.
Those who cannot see the threads uniting all life view existence as random and without purpose. The Jedi perceive the structure and will of the many galaxies.
V. There is no death, there is the Force.
All things die, but the Force lives on. As beings who exist as shades of the Force, the end of our existence in this form is not to be overly mourned. We are part of an energy larger than ourselves, and we play roles in a cosmic fabric that outstrip our incarnate understanding.
