What are the most precise real world analogues to the light and dark sides of the Force? You laugh, but Star Wars is one of the most /x/ pieces of fictional media once you get past it's popularity/over visibility in the culture.

You're just asking for a christianity thread in the most reddit way possible...

>>40795614
The dark side is more honest and embracing of life than Jedi buddhist pseudochristianity.

>>40795604 (OP)
Zoroastrian beliefs

I guess it's aiming for peace and aiming for destruction, which are equally morally valid depending on circumstances.

>light side
Any ascetic religion that gaslights you into thinking everything is under control and the universe is just the way it should be
>dark side
The people that create and manage the religions of light side.

Lyrans and Urmah are the "light side", feline ayys who've had to war against orion, mantids, dracos and reptilians. Orion has been identified as "evil", with queen running hivemind of mantid slavers and soldiers, but Sirius is not "good", it's the "false light", it's said to be home of the "archons". Annunaki were said to have been a cross between sirius and orion bloodlines, but their rulership caused maldek to get completely destroyed, mars inhabitable, and they've pretty much fucked up things here on Earth. I think the current ayys in power might not even be related to the Annunaki (everything seems to point it's some cabal group with Orion origin), but they sure as hell like to larp/lay claim to things that are not theirs, to create the illusion that they were always the rulers/kings.

I think something like Babylon 5 gets closest to this question, as even there they say it's "false dichotomy", and the protagonist of the series is forced to "decline" both Sirius and Orion. Sirius in our case would probably be something like galactic federation of worlds or something, which seems to play ignorant/turn blind eye to the operations that the Orion group is doing here on Earth (as if they have a deal going on, in cahoots). Basically any felines that are not in direct co-operation with Sirius or Galactic federation (just in friendly terms with them) are probably your closest thing to an ally.

Going full bore into either materialism or asceticism is bad for you.

That depends because the depiction differs within discrete milieus. In the Original Trilogy, it is virtually nonexistent and merely vaguely associated with hate and negative emotion as "The Dark Side" with love and faith representing "The Light Side".

In the prequel trilogy, because of the deeper thematics, there's a lot more sophistication in the distinctions, although they are still largely unspoken and not explicitly elaborated upon. In fact, it introduces a number of deliberate ambiguities which are intended to distort the viewers' certainty about what the delineations actually are. If the OT insinuated that the light side was love, then why did the Jedi preach detachment? If the Jedi preach unemotionality, why is Mace Windu portrayed as habitually infuriated? If Qui-Gon Jinn was rogue in relation to the council, why was he still able to become a force ghost? All this to say there is not really a cut and dry quick and simple answer to your query within that framework.

And then lastly for my purposes there is the KOTOR duology, which is very painstaking and overt about the ideologies backing both poles. Roughly speaking, oversimply put, the duality there is Stoicism vs Nietzscheanism.

If you want to worship the Lord of this realm he can give all the materials you want, but theres a price, and he always comes to collect

Angels and demons fighting. They basically have "the force" and can use it to fight.

dude not only does your pic contain literal proven falsehoods but this has been pointed out to you again and again and you keep posting the same disinfo month after month when you could remove the error and keep stimming to the rest of the pic with just two minutes in MSPaint. Eschenbach wrote no such thing.

if you and me touch a lot it does definitely feel good but it also limits progress!
