Hoth - Mind Tricks

Hoth may be a cold place with more machinery than life..
But nevertheless there is still life present on this part of the galaxy..
The trap is to think that Hoth is only a physical place, a tangible surrounding..
No..
Hoth is also a state of the mind..
Cold, robotic, devoid almost of any sense, sensibility or sensation..
A God-forsaken place in Earth language..

Beware! Even Siths can play mind tricks..
Make you feel you are in the right place doing the right thing
With the right intentions and right virtues..
One must not be swayed..
Like Toydarians.. Mind tricks don't work on them..
But Jedis are largely Force-sensitive..
With mindfulness cultivated from the silent awareness of
The extremely subtle disturbances in the Force
Caused by the Sith..
Only with this keen recognition can a Jedi
Sift truth from flaw, deception from true virtue..

And so even if one is in Hoth or one is at Coruscant..
One can be in the Old Republic State or in the New Empire..
The true reality is created in the mind..
Well-said my faithful Master Qui Gon!
He was told Anakin: What you focus on becomes your reality..

So be mindful of what you focus on..
If you focus only on what is on the outside..
You will have fallen into the mind tricks of the Siths..
And soon you will think and behave like them..
YOu too will create disturbances in the Force, instead of restoring Peace..

Remember your Jedi Code..
Let it guide you well with its noble goals of Peace, Mercy, Unity..
Strengthen your mind with quiet meditation and silent contemplation..
It does well to study one's behaviour and the behaviour of the Siths..
We are not much different..
The only difference is we use mind tricks for the good of life
And not for the destruction of life..

May the Force be with all!
