  • Looking at star wars through spiritual lenses. In this documentary I discuss how books by Carlos Castaneda influenced George Lucas. I outline the similarities between books and the movies. While also discussing other spiritual,religious and mythological sources that inspired Lucas to make star wars the way that it is.
    Cosmic force, the force and the living force are all found in books of Castaneda, though through different terminology. While shamans of Mexico are quite similar to Jedi and their way of living.
    I’ve been working on this project for almost 2 years, I dedicate this documentary with love to the star wars community and with deepest respect to George Lucas.
    May the force be with you, always!
    I wanna thank amazing GAXELLE for providing excellent narration without whom this documentary would not be as beautiful as it is!

Unfortunately youtube algorithm is insanely messed up, most of the people who are subscribed to the channel do not get notification nor my videos in their feed, essentially I can't reach my own subscribers when I upload a new video, as the result the views are tanking hard. I would ask you if you could share this video if you found it interesting and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

    This video has sent me into a death spiral, I tell you. First you manage to fully convince me of the intended fallibility of the Jedi Order in the Prequels without entirely ragging on them as most in this space do. Now I've gone on a Carlos Castaneda binge for the past... few weeks which has since led me to put the Warrior way into practice. And now I'm facing my fears one day at a time and actually feeling lighter and thus more intentful for it. It's funny how the key to immortality is to diminish one's selfishness by being selfless towards oneself. The Jedi had it right all this time, but got themselves too wound up in externality, doing for others what they were supposed to be doing for themselves. Spirituality is all about irony.
    The places Star Wars - and myth in general - can take you once you get past basic fandom consumption.

      'Detachment' isn't about 'public relations' or 'human rights', but observing one's life events until this moment as that of someone else, a total stranger - with which one can feel genuine _compassion_ as well.
      From that 'mountain peak' divine love streams downhill like an infinite stream, dissolving all efforts in 'sin' and escapism.

      I just finished reading the Book of Matthew in the KJV last night as part of my re-evaluation of my Christianity. "Inspiring" is an understatement. Where would I start with Syriac tradition? I'm a writer with an inclination towards poetry, so it sounds like it might be right up my alley.

      I had read a German 20th century Catholic author - *Alois Dempf* - who utilized cultural history in order to outline the diversity of early Christian communities within the Roman Empire - the Patriarchate of Hellenistic Antiochia e.g. as a place with a philosophic tradition of liberty.
      More specifically, I had stumbled over the _imaginative_ and resonant video essays upon *Isaac the Syrian* and John of Damascus by Cyprus based *'Trisagion Films'* .

    I love this truly, the evolution of how content is made on Star Wars, so many are all about "Did you know the heroes journey?" and talks endlessly on the jesus ideas of Ani, and the OG films ignoring all parts of SW that is not the text of those three films as only films. This is pure love for SW, all of it, and the universe it is loving the universe and the writing, not hating on how it is not the perfect ideas of the OG films. I had to watch this and give this to a few die hard EU fans and they all agree this is a great resource in understanding Star Wars.

    fellow you tubers, isn’t it neat to see two things we love brought together and explored ? A rare and neat treat indeed !!! Out of a generally good essay, here’s a couple points of reflections and constructively critical offerings that I think can really improve the essay should it be revised in the future. Tell me what you guys think..... Star Wars fans will notice
    At 47: 10 she implies that Lucas uses qui-gon as a mouth piece to say “ age restriction, following code and aspirations to a seat on the council are non-sense” are we sure about that ? Think about it carefully & we will remember that it was the councils disregard of the rules and eventual acceptance of Anakin into the order that inevitably caused there downfall. Was it not ?
    *It was Anakin’s cowardly ambush of Windu that lead to Sidious escaping.
    *It was Anakin who slaughtered innocent Jedi younglings
    *it was Anakin who strangled his pregnant wife.
    *it was Anakin who lead order 66 on the jedi temple
    *it was Anakin who butchered tusken women & children
    *it was Anakin who Decapitated an unarmed dooku
    Seriously, does any of that strike you guys as justifying why the Council should have stuck to the code ? Doesn’t anakins actions lend credence to the reluctance yoda had about accepting Anakin into the order ? Qui Gon himself can be heard screaming “ ANAKIN NO !!!! “ in Ep. 2 during anakins tusksen blood bath. So even qui gon himself recognized he completely misunderstood the prophecy, fooled himself into thinking Anakin was the chosen one and unwittingly brought down his own order... 🙃😔🤯 ouch. The narrator celebrates qui gon for following the “will of the force”. But the force sure wasn’t celebrating qui gon when it “ willed “ Darth Maul‘s lightsaber to stab qui gons stomach. So do we say qui gon “misread “ the force or contradicted the will of the force to explain his failure in these regards ? Or is it simply that he was in unwitting pawn for the Darkside of the force ? It certainly seems that he thought he was living out of the will of the light side but as soon as he brought Anakin into the fold he was killed. Seems like he was under the influence of the dark side but was too arrogant and conceded to consider or recognize that fact .
    I would think that the historical implications of the Genocide of the jedi would be obvious to the narrator seeing as how Castaneda & anthropologists have discoursed at length about the near genocide of the Yaqui Indians, first by the Spaniards then the Mexicans over a 400 year period.
    In a nutshell, the Jedi were no more responsible for there downfall than the Yaqui ( or aztec/maya ) were for there’s. They had a lot of “ help” from European conquistadors, who would have invaded them regardless if there were corrupt sorcerers or not, The same way Darth Sidious would have conspired to bring the Jedi down with the Clones, regardless if the jedi had what the narrator considers to be “ non sensical” strict rules about age requirements or not. the explanation is multifaceted. Sure, there’s corrupt sorcerers , like there’s corrupt Jedi (dooku, Anakin ) But there’s also sidious & an army of cones.
    And I’ve never heard Lucas endorse The view that qui gon represents his perspective, if anything a good writer will hide his own biases and spread some of his views throughout various characters along with conflicting opinions to make the narrative interesting.
    Besides that, I loved the video essay and will be sharing it will friends , thanks guys
    May the force be with you all 😃

    Something that I’ve been thinking about for a while is how the Jedi and Sith perceive the force. A true Jedi will surrender himself to the will of the force by emptying himself and instinctively following the light side. It so happens that the Sith try to bend the force to their will in the opposite manner making it so the force itself is against them. I wonder if you could ever have a dark-sided user who is not so much intent on bending the force to his will for his own aims but for the dark side itself ? Making in a sense a true dark side user which is analogous to a true light side user. I always thought it was an interesting idea… and if there is an antichrist maybe he is like a Sith out for his own aims… or maybe he considers himself like like the Jedi do, but instead being a true conduit for the dark side itself enacting the will of the the dark side’s vengeance in order to bring the force into balance.

      Interesting point, though majority of dark side users are on the dark side in a first place cause they are self centered and ego driven, so the mere idea serving someone or something else is far fetched. But there might be a story worth telling about some dark side worshipper fanatic who serves the dark side, even though knowing that if he does so and brings balance he will be no longer needed and die as a result. Quite a conflicting character that one could be.

      @@DuduFilm indeed that would be far-fetched I admit. Serving a cause one considers greater than yourself on its own is not I don’t think even for a dark sider even though rare too far-fetched. But now that I think about it what I think is more likely is a dark side user who serves the will of the dark side as it were but has maybe a skewed understanding of how the force brings things into balance. Maybe he believes balance means the superiority of the dark as a whole.

    Absolutely brilliant work! I love all the analytical video essays regarding Star Wars and yours is phenomenal as well. You opened my eyes to so many new things I hadn't even given attention to before or couldn't interpret by myself. I'm very thankful for you amazing job.
    Id like to ask a question, though. You said that the Force creates a Sith to balance itself if the Jedi have lost their way and it disposes of him once he's done his job. In the case of the timeline of 1-6, that Sith is Sidious. So, from this perspective, wouldn't Sidious be the Chosen One?

    • @yaujj65
      @yaujj65 Год назад

      The Sith also misunderstood the Force based on Castenda. While it is true, there is conflict. It is entirely self serving and wanted power in the material world, it also defies the Will of the Force many times with the Banite Sith almost succeed. The Sith wanted to enslave the Force to be gods or freedom, they may want freedom but only in the material world, not the freedom described in the video
      The Jedi, is stagnant and chained to the Republic, now a rotting institution that helps nothing in the final days of the Republic. They listen to the rules and traditions that is detrimental in the process. I have read the corruption of the Republic in their final days and being manipulated by the Sith that lead to the Republic end. I ultimately believed the Jedi and Republic fall because they failed to reform after many centuries of the Ruusan Reformation. Every reform have their own expiry date.
      As Kreia said: "Life never ceases to teach, it is only when we cease to listen remain still or die."
