Yoda's Wisdom for Inner Peace (Star Wars Philosophy, Stoicism & Buddhism)

[@ManiakGear]

Yoda's line on detachments changed my entire life. It's always hard to explain to people that the greatest improvement in my life came from always reminding myself, "to let go, of everything I fear to lose"

[@rickhazemusic]

Agreed

[@osiriswills6749]

That's powerful

[@alexbryant6044]

Real talk.

[@gr2192]

It's not about letting go, but about giving things their limited value. Stoicism talks about this basically, so you could like the Discourses of Epictetus and the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius!

But in forgoing personal attachments, Yoda becomes personally attached to the Jedi and the Jedi way itself. He still experiences great personal loss when the Jedi are wiped out. There is no avoiding loss. This is why it's so powerful when young Luke rejects Yoda's insinsitence on letting his friends die to stay and dutifully finish his Jedi training. By choosing to love anyway despite the inevitability of loss, Luke is able to OVERCOME the fear/anger/hate rather than just AVOIDING the love that might lead there. He's even able to lead Anakin to redemption because he allows himself to feel for him. His strength is not in the mechanical rejection of attachment and feelings Yoda teaches, but in the choice of trusting his feelings, trusting his love for his friends and family to guide him better than hate or fear could, and certainly better than fear of fear could.

[@donguy8413]

Ahh, dual nature of all things, sadly there's price to pay, any way we go

[@eduardoernestoubillacontre2971]

Loss hurts when it happens, but being afraid of loss is a lifelong torture. I love my mother, and when she dies i will cry her, but i don't suffer every day because of her mortality, it's the contrary i enjoy her everyday.

[@eduardoernestoubillacontre2971]

If you want an extreme example of fear of loss, you can think of borderline people, who are so afraid of being abandon that they end up driving everyone away.

True you say, strong you are 🤭

[@capwlf]

I grew up watching so much Star Wars. Always attracted to the Jedi depth of philosophical principles.. I have listened to many different philosophy talks by the late great Alan Watts on this. As well as many different quotes of the Buddha and well the truth is to let go of all desire had by the ego. The desire to let go is a desire all of its own. So yes do or do not is essential philosophy here. Be or be not! The middle way perhaps is the best discipline to follow. Be your own leader the native indigenous peoples always have said. Follow your heart! Hurt no one! Respect all life! Honor the entire creation in all aspects. Align with the truth of all creation. The hero’s journey ultimately is the path I Myself resonate with best. Not the victim, not the villain and not the damsel in distress. The hero always! Long live the hero’s of existence. Glory to the creator in all of this with respect, wisdom and always love.

Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader is one of the greatest characters in the history of film. I can personally relate to so many aspects of the characters personality. For me he is an inspiration, while I can understand his choices because I feel like I would make the same ones I also believe there is so much to learn from them. I’m watching The Clone Wars right now and honestly I’m learning so much more about this character in that series than I ever did from the films. Thank you George Lucas for this titan of a character, he’s tragic and inspiring all at once.

You can relate to Vader. So... How many younglings did you kill? Personally, I've slain about 250 so far. I'm working on getting 100% you know. Jokes aside, he is one of the most relatable characters to me as well, if we ignore genocide and youngling-slaying.

[@Daniel-Strain]

Excellent video! Not enough people understand the importance of Stoicism and Buddhism in understanding Jedi Philosophy.

[@TimMer1981]

Interesting video, as always. Thanks! I would say Yoda's teachings are more related to Taoism than to Buddhism: the emphasis is more on being one with all, flowing along with it and being in balance with it, where Buddhism is more focussed on eliminating suffering through improving oneself, so a more negative starting point as opposed to the neutral starting point of Taoism. The difference isn't huge, but it's there.

[@jarod144]

people see "zen" and jump to conclusions without looking deeper

[@darreideamos2309]

Qui Gon Jin seems like a taoist even more then Yoda. He trusts the force and believes it would eventually lead to balance and that the force itself gives people hints (like him meeting Anakin) to achieve balance

[@jameswalker6864]

Yoda is also, to some degree, a Budhist, for he lacks interest in pursuing his passions and his inner desires, which is compatible with the ascetic way of life promoted in Budhism (and Christianism, and Islam for that matter). At the end of the day, despite its differences, all religions share a foundational universal metaphysics, and Star Wars' philosophy is compatible with the system of thought of all religions, not only one in particular.

Young environmental activists would be an example. Some do not even have the ability to identify whether their intentions are good, others know they are not and go forth anyway. Examining one's own motivations to their roots is core spiritual practice for a better world. But the kind of conundrum is that it requires to begin with a sincere inquiry, which is a decision towards inner change, and if that is not there, then anything following is just a deception.

[@michelasartini1134]

This is really a great video! I am watching again SW episodes (1977-2003) and it is quite true that what Lucas has put in the 'jedi philosophy' is the synthesis of those doctrines. I woul like to add that everyone has lights and shadows on his paths and (maybe) the 'dark side' of the Jedi doctrine is to push expectations too hard and in a not respecting way of everyone timing. So it is a long and winding road to practice this doctrine in everyday life and (as Lucas said) everyday you make choices and confront yourself between your 'good' and the 'bad' side.

Great episode! Thanks to your philosophical analysis of Star Wars films, I now see a deeper meaning in Star Wars and prequel films in particular. Prequels is really a tragic story of a man broken by fate: he was detached from his mother too early, leaving him emotionally scarred (attachment disorder) and underdeveloped, then when presented by prospect of losing another female figure in his life, that he has grown attached to, he tries to exert control over his fate, but fell into a manipulation trap by sinister people. Overall he never had real control over his life. A really tragic character. It's too bad Lucas completely failed as a filmmaker to give it proper treatment. Instead of a bombastic hodge podge mess that we got, it should have been straight, focused character drama, with better casting.

The problem with stoic ideas is that when you need them you do not realize it because of the young age and lack of proper education, when you realize that they are needed it is usually too late, because the best years have already passed. For example Marcus Aurelius was raised in the spirit of stoicism, the Jedi, too, with childhood prepare for their missions.

The darkside is the subconscious mind. Consciousness is light

[@krieghart5515]

Not necessarily, but can be true. You can be aware of when your darkside expresses itself openly or even in your thoughts, but most of the time we don't notice it coming from us and instead see our projection of it in others. Darkside is negativity, but that doesn't mean it's inherently bad or evil. We judge it that way and relegate that negativity to the subconscious where we can pretend those ugly traits aren't a part of us. It's like fracturing pieces of ourselves off and throwing them away, only they never go anywhere. They pop up in other ways that we don't often notice because we don't accept them as part of us. When you do stuff like therapy, self-inquiry, shadow work, we dig into our minds and pull these things back into the light, forgive ourselves for hating these parts of ourselves, and integrating them back into the whole.

As much as I love Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn was the embodiment of a true Jedi. While Yoda advised Qui-Gon's apprentice to be mindful of the future, Qui-Gon cautioned to not be so mindful of the future that it comes at the expense of the moment. A true Jedi is not focused on outcomes, which is a mindset based in fear. Instead, they focus on the moment, quiet their minds and listen to the will of the Force, which is a mindset based in trust. Yoda and the rest of the Jedi council were shown in the prequels to have lost their way, slowly diminishing their ability to hear and use the Force. With the disappearance and absence of their mortal enemies, the Sith, for the last 25,000 years, they had become complacent and arrogant. Their Jedi code had become a rigid dogma they had ironically become attached to. Instead of listening to the will of the Force, they were then servants of the Republic, doing *its* will and whatever else they believed to be for the greater good. Inevitably, the Sith took control of the galaxy right under their noses and transformed the Republic into an Empire.

People deny the truth of the real story by the actual creator of the films and think their interpretation is the real one. So that’s a subtle but important and significant difference between saying “I see how the creators made it that way and that’s the real intention but I think it makes more sense this way” and “I think the creators of Star Wars made it the way I see it.” I’m not afraid of philosophical debate but that’s not what this is.
