Most of what has been said on this thread has been false and lies. You don't get to make up what you want the truth to be using the relativity of the fallen mindset. The only power the dark side has is that which is given to it through your own free will or by your actions. The only way we escape the great wheel of reincarnation and karma is by completely overcoming/transcending our egos. What people don't innerstand is that the fall of man is/was the creation of our egos. Now you know!
