The Dharma of Star Wars

During Shambhala Training Level I Doria was speaking of basic goodness, the primodrial purity, gentleness, being brave, and fear. In fear, I asked a question and asked for my geekness to be pardon as I pulled in a sci fi reference and quoted Yoda from Star Wars, "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side." Well turns out, Doria liked me bring up Star Wars. She used Anikan and Darth Vader as an example of basic goodness, that in a moment we can wake up and realise we have it; when Vader became Anikan again at the end of Return to the Jedi. Also there is apparently a book called The Dharma of Star Wars by Matthew Bortolin which basically about Buddhist teaching within Star Wars. I ordered this book and it should arrive Friday and I can't wait to read it. It really made my day because I have wanted to find a book but something I could relate to, or find an author's writing style that allows me to grasp a greater understanding instead of struggling with it what I would read. Hopefully I found both in this book, I'll find out this weekend when I'll start to read bits and pieces of it.

I will admit though... I wish the cover was something a little more grand or something more simplistic. 

Oh Well. LOL.
