I come from the Force Study Center run by Alena some time back. I am a Sith Guide there. I have also been a member of several other boards in the past, including some that no longer exist.
I think that both Jedi and Sith have good ideas to offer, and I like input from both. I am personally a Sith because I can sometimes be maverick in my approach and follow my hunches and feelings where they lead me. I see the Force "from a larger view" as Palpatine described. I want to look at all "sides."
I grew up fundamentalist Christian in my youth, but I later went new age/pagan. I later studied various forms of mysticism including Freemasonry. I borrow a little from everybody.
Then I found I hit a ceiling on mysticism. I still wanted more and stronger results. I started looking at science. I found Nikola Tesla to be very inspirational.
I am still exploring possibilities. I am in an experimental stage right now on my own path. Discussing new and innovative ideas appeals to me right now.
I look forward to some good discussions. ;D

Empress Palpatine Hello and welcome. I am sure you remember me. ;D I too started as a Christian Fundamentalist. Then went new age. I eventually read science. I studied both evolutionary biology and physics. This answered questions that no religion or practice did. Now I feel I have the whole picture. Science does make things stronger.

Hello All The new forums look great, hopefully we can gather as many of the great lessons from the old forum here onto the new, especially for new people like me who are very keen to learn and know, sadly, nothing or very little of the Way. I would just like to introduce myself very quickly, my real name is unimportant however you may all call me Darth Relek, or Relek or when too lazy then simply vii. I am currently living in Germany and speak englich (though not very well anymore xD) German, and A little bit of Spanish. Shortly afetr having been here for over a year I will be going back to my home, Australia. I have bene very interested in the Sith way of life however had not had any oppertunity or anyone to learn from and understand and Live the Sith philosohpy, something i am hoping in the future to change with your help. Hopefully we will be discussing soon in the new forums. That is a complete copy of my message posted on the other introduction threa.. xD but anyway. @empress Palpatinem, I would be very interested to discuss with you the topic fo your religion, the new age/pagan, I think that would be very interesting. My ideas on religion, and God as a whole, are relatively.. different, something that allot of people do not like so i will not mention them here however i would find it interesting to discuss that topic with you. Cheers

hello Relek, you should probably start your own intro topic if you wish to be noticed.

My religion is my own special mix, unique to me; but then, that is how it often is with Sith since they are more maverick and individual. I am sure we can discuss it somewhere along the line.
