What are you thinking now?

Aye, well cleared for me Master Aimus! I shall uphold thy teachings o' Great One! :nod: So, when shall my training start?

They have already begun, my apprentice. The training starts at birth, through the force.

The power of the force flows through you, feel the sea of power beneath you, above you, all around you. Find your centre in this sea. Focus on this centre, and draw all the force to this point. When accomplished, rise above the force, and draw the centre with you, creating a stronger bond with the force. Control it, feed of it.

Aye, Great One! I shall do as thee bids!

*for now I sleep first, my time zone sucks :lol:*

Good night apprentice, focus the force in your dreams, it can teach you much. :wave:

Good night as well Great Master! I shall dream of my practice in my sleep and harness the greatness of the force! :wave:

I was trying to recall where I heard or read 'learning in your sleep'. It's funny how sometimes a day seems to be so long once and too short another time. I read Flowers For Algernon yesterday and your post triggered the memory but it took me about a minute to recall reading the book only yesterday! Getting forgetful in my old age or what? :D

Yes :p

Actually, it is quite an interesting concept, however, Brainiac (the TV show) has proven that learning in your sleep while listening to a tape does not work. They had a 'test subject' sleep for a night, while listening to a tape about football history. The 'subject' knew nothing about football before hand, and knew nothing about it in the test afterwards. This is the kind of experiments that is generally insightful. :D

Fortunately the force is nothing like a tape that plays while sleeping.

Yes, if more tests were based on knowledge of football I might actually have passed some of them :lol: :lol:

The Sith can never know the Light side of the Force. It is understood only when the Force wielder is calm, at peace. The Jedi does not seek to manipulate the Force, only to allow it to flow through and guide him. Such is the path of the Light.

Now, come and hear my Master's wise words!! ;)

And such is the weakness of the light side, the force can misguide the user, thinking he is doing the right thing, calm, at peace, while the force is guiding him to his downfall.

Don't fool me! I know you're trying to hypnotize me with your dark avatar. :goof:

My avatar represents the true path, a path where darkness has no more a place as the light does. :nod:

When the Jedi draws his guidance from the same Force that the Sith corrupts, only the Jedi can find the true meaning of the Force. The implementation of the Force by the Sith is but a perversion of the life-giving aspect of the Force.

And such is the arrogance of the Jedi, to assume that the corruption cannot alter their perception, their true meaning of the Force is what the Sith show them through the Force.
