Gray Jedi Code

The Star Wars wiki of fan invention.

"There is no Dark Side, nor a light side, there is only the Force. I will do what I must to keep the balance as the balance is what keeps me together. There is no good without evil, but evil must not be allowed to flourish. There is passion, yet peace; Serenity, yet emotion; Chaos, yet order. I am the wielder of the flame, the protector of balance. I am the holder of the Torch, lighting the way. I am the keeper of the flame, soldier of balance. I am a Guardian of the Balance. I am a Gray Jedi."

—Leor Danal reciting The Gray Jedi Code for the first time while in a force trance

[edit] Meaning

• There is no Dark Side, nor a Light Side; There is only the Force
  

  Gray Jedi believed that the Force did not have seperate sides. To them, abilities were neutral, it was how you used them that made the difference between a Jedi or a Sith. Different people used different to unlock their full potential. Some needed anger, some needed peace. Just because a Jedi or Sith used anger or peace to channel their power, did not make the Jedi or Sith inherently evil. The evil was not in the Force powers, but in the user. This part of the code also applies to the Gray Jedi belief of one's soul. They belief that everyone has the equal potential for evil and good, and it is the user's own personal choices that decided which path they choose.

• I will do what I must to keep the balance; the balance is what keeps me together
  

  Balance was central to a Gray Jedi's life. They believed that without balance, the galaxy would fall apart, Thus, they were the champions, and guardians of balance. Although there were certain rules against destroying everything that disrupted any sort of balance, for the most part, The Gray Jedi would do everything and anything in their power to maintain the balance. For them, the ends justified the means. If they needed to destroy a planet to promote balance, then that's what they would do.

• There is no good without evil, but evil must not be allowed to flourish
  

  The Gray Jedi held a firm belief that while there was good and evil in everything, there was no good without evil, and no evil without good. Just as there is no dark without light and no light without dark. however, if one side is allowed power over the other, catastrophy can happen. Also, the Gray Jedi realized that evil was neccesary for the balance, but this didn't mean that they had to condone it. Evil was condemned in the Gray Jedi and only given sufferance because of its neccesity to balance. however, they would keep evil in check. They believed that for a balance to be made, the amount of good in the galaxy must always cancel out the evil. Thus they still attacked those doing evil acts to keep this balance in check.

• There is Passion, yet Peace
  

  For a Gray Jedi, you needed passion to survive. What was life without passion? It was nothing. yet, you needed peace in order to balance the passion so it wont get out of hand.

• Serenity, Yet Emotion
  

  It was the same principle. A Gray Jedi needed emotion to fuel his power, yet he needed to remain serene to allow himself to be able to turn the emotion on and off.

• Chaos, yet Order
  

  In order for life to exist, there must be chaos and order at an equal level. Such is the same with the Gray Jedi. A Gray Jedi must be orderly and chaotic both to a point. Sometimes laws need to be broken and sometimes chaos must be brought to order, however neither should be ended permanently.

• I am the Wield of the Flame, The Protector of Balance
  

  The first role of a Gray Jedi was to protect the balance through any means necessary. They wielded what they called the spiritual flame. It would burn to dust those who disrupted the balance of life.

• I am the Holder of the Torch, Lighting the Way
  

  The next role of a Gray Jedi was to show the way for others. If there was a way to show those who disrupted the balance the way to balancing their lives, then life would be better for all. Also, a Gray Jedi must light the way for himself, as if not kept in check it is quite easy to fall into an unbalanced lifestyle.

• I am the Keeper of the Flame, Soldier of Balance
  

  The Gray Jedi would be the army of balance, waging wars against all who would threaten the natural balance of the universe.

• I am a Guardian of Balance
  

  The Gray Jedi was first and foremost, a Guardian of Balance in every single way possible.

• I am A Gray Jedi
  

  This shows that the reciter of the Gray Jedi code understands that to be a true Gray Jedi, he must embody every single one of these traits.
