I was reading about Jediism with a friend when we found an article on Sithism. I looked into it later and found it disturbing. In effect it was… I can’t describe it. Just read this article.

sithacademy.com/sithism/

Pretty creepy right?

I continued reading on the site and one thing stood out to me in particular. It was an article on deconstructing the mind. It intrigued me. Would it be advisable for a catholic to practice this? It seemed okay as it allows me to examine myself and remove things which seperate me from God. However I’m not completely sure it is a good idea. What do you all think?

You do realize this is all fiction, so who knows what real world practices it is based upon. George Lucas himself based many of his spiritual ideas on Joseph Campbell, but who knows what is behind these fictional religions tapping into the “force”.

I would suggest you look into Ignatian spirituality. Lectio Divina is a wonderful way to meditate on Scripture, while the Examen is a superior, time-tested way to examine your conscience and discover impediments to your relationship with God.

God doesn’t want you to deconstruct your mind, He wants to renew your mind: “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)
 
Run, don’t walk, away from this. It’s not just fiction–it’s dangerous. Listen to some of Sharon Gigantis shows in the archives. To name only one danger-- in very first paragraph, there is a reference to Jungian psychology. Jung was anti-Catholic. Here’s a link to just one article about him:

There are so many choices of types of spirituality in the Church that there is no reason to go searching outside. These days I am leary of everything, but thankfully, with the help of the Internet and all the available media, it’s possible to quickly find out if something is approved by the Church.
 
Thanks! Looking back I don’t know what I was thinking! They claim they got their teachings from a multiversal message by a Sith Lord! I fell my demon senses tingling.
 
Fun fact: on the page you linked, it says:
“What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the Will to Power, power itself in man. What is bad? All that proceeds from weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power increases – that a resistance is overcome.” This is the Golden Rule of Sithism.

LOL. That is not “the Golden Rule of Sithism” (??). That is a direct quote from The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche.

I thought it was the Satanic Bible by LaVey, but it’s actually from the Antichrist.
 
Ummm. Are you confused about the fact that Star Wars is not real? You’re kind of acting like the guy that we insist doesn’t exist in every Harry Potter thread.

Star Wars is so popular and the Force stuff in it so quasi-religious that it doesn’t surprise me that some people, to varying degrees and with different explanations, try to make a real philosophy of it. Heck, I’ve even had an old Muslim friend of mine tell me with half-joking seriousness “do or do not, there is not try.”

Didn’t even the US military train “Jedis” in the 1980s? Or was that just in that awful movie The Men Who Stare at Goats?
 
Are these people for real! They are like the Satanic cult of Star Wars.

If you are going to follow the Force Star Wars style I most certainly would suggest you not pursue the dark side of it.
Better yet, Stay close to Jesus. Learn to trust in Him and His Divine will for us. Follow His example as has been suggested and do not give in to fear, anger and hate that all leads to seeking power and control of things because we do not want to live with out something or because we may loose something that means more to us than God and His will. Or because we want to make people choose what we believe is good. Do not seek to try and be like God trying to control events. Learn to Trust Him. It is when we are fearful of His plan for us that we seek to try and gain power to control things.

From what I understand if we do not learn to live in loving Trust of God and His Divine Will of loving God and neighbor we live in fear, anger and hate. We become children of darkness instead of children of Light. If we live as Jesus taught us to live we will become children of Light. Meditating on His Word Lectio Divina style is a good place to start.

My thought was how antichrist it sounded. Thanks for sharing that. My thought about the “Dark Side” as portrayed in Star Wars was how it is so antichrist like too.

Read the first article I posted. Then read this one.

This is either an actual occult religion or very deep trolling. I was wondering if their meditation techniques were compatable with Catholicism. They are not.

Have you ever watched Star Wars? The Sith reminds me of Lucifer. From what I understand of the Church’s Teachings on Satan and his minions and how the influence mankind and sell mankind down a road of lies through fear, anger, and hate I would have to say it is pretty much spot on.
 
Umm, I came here to advise against using Sikh meditation practices, because Sikh, though monotheistic, is a non-Christian eastern religion. Now, I wish it were about Sikhism.

If one doesn’t realize the spiritual harm in practicing a “religious” meditation based on a children’s movie, I don’t think that I can offer any additional advice…

Yeah. I remember when I was young my Dad had to tell me not to root for the villians.
 
Ehh…I would definitly not get to into something that has no bais within the church. Good ol’ George got alot of stuff from Eastern Spiritualism which is definitly not Catholic.

Stay close to the church and don’t wander to much. Today it’s very easy to be let astray.

Google the Stargate Project. The CIA and US Army did psychic warfare and remote viewing operations for a number of years. Working towards the end goal of remote psychic assassination. :frighten:
 
When I first found the site I thought it was a joke religion and checked if it had any good points. The second article was the first I read and the total self control sounded alluring. After starting this thread I found the more occult bits. :shudder: I will not be looking through it again.
