LESSON ZETA:

YOU MUST FIND BALANCE

This time, I want you to meditate while standing on one foot.

Seems difficult, right?

Well, it should. Being a Jedi isn’t easy.

If you happen to be somewhere where you can’t stand on one foot, you should balance a book on your head.

If you are standing on one foot, you should keep your eyes open, and focus on a spot on the wall or the floor. Don’t look at it. Just keep your eyes focused on it. If you’re balancing the book on your head, close your eyes.

Now, count slowly to ten, focusing on nothing but the numbers.

I know that you look stupid doing this. You know you look stupid, too. But Jedi often have to do things that make them look stupid. Some people won’t understand. Most people, in fact, won’t understand. But if you want everyone to think you look cool all the time, you can’t be a Jedi.

Jedi follow a higher calling than cool.
