Are there any Jedi's left? I think you read too much into it. Of course fans will choose merch from the Dark Side, the Jedi just don't have enough props to associate to. And the Empire for example, and now the First Order - they have a very pronounced visual aesthetic, that is instantly recognizable, and as such is easy to understand why a fan, wanting to be an obvious fan, will choose something visually screaming "STAR WARS", instead of dressing themselves in earth-toned rags, which can be anything. |

Are there any Jedi's left? Well, with the new movie, people have begun to associate the Jedi "light side" with liberal PC bullshit. Quoting: QUANTUMGR4V17Y So, it makes sense that people psychologically reject it and choose the opposing side. People that have this view point about Liberals are 'sleeping' or under some sort of mind control. They are just as programmed as the Liberals. |

Are there any Jedi's left? It could answer many questions you have. Ego is what ties us into the illusion of separateness in the material world. Diminish your ego. egos of many have grown to such proportions that most of the world has forgotten all of the other subtler realms in reality. When the ego begins to be uprooted, the veils of illusion (maya) begin lifting, revealing how we are all one essentially. This is due course why meditators become selfless & begin to abide by The Golden Rule. They understand and can see themselves in all creation. This is also how miracles can happen - the oneness with atoms outside of the physical body can be transformed (miracle). |

Are there any Jedi's left? If you read the books (and this is carried through to the movies) the jedi are bumbling fools for the most part. Dark side users are largely the ones in control. They are the ones dictating events. So it makes some sense as to why people might favor dark side characters. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Or something |

Are there any Jedi's left? Kompownd, a great read for you could very well be The Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. Quoting: Righteous1 70968214 It could answer many questions you have. Ego is what ties us into the illusion of separateness in the material world. Diminish your ego. egos of many have grown to such proportions that most of the world has forgotten all of the other subtler realms in reality. When the ego begins to be uprooted, the veils of illusion (maya) begin lifting, revealing how we are all one essentially. This is due course why meditators become selfless & begin to abide by The Golden Rule. They understand and can see themselves in all creation. This is also how miracles can happen - the oneness with atoms outside of the physical body can be transformed (miracle). I saw the Yogananda movie. It was really good. I feel bad for the people that trusted him. And became completely controlled. I guess the old Yogi masters have always been aware of 'mind control'. There is a saying that your Yoga Guru will see through 'your eyes'. In the Yogananda movie it was easy to see how he brain washed all the rich white people to give him all their money. And now The Yogananda foundation is rich! |
