What if
With so many different people living here on earth its seems only right that groups form. Each person expressing their thoughts, their personal views and opinions that once expressed are a light house to those of like minds. As new ideas are born as these groups of similar thoughts spend time together there are communities born providing a banding of support for each other inevitably leading to the vindication of each individuals self belief.

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian' - Din Djarin's Homeworld Name Revealed
Star Wars has such a huge galaxy with so many planets and characters that there are bound to be mysteries that have not yet been solved. Even after all these years, we do not know what the homeworlds for characters like Yoda are. In the case of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s homeworld, it took George Lucas being interviewed by Jon Stewart for us to find out that Kenobi’s homeworld was Stewjon, an obvious reference to Jon Stewart’s name. Yoda’s homeworld (as well as species name) is perhaps the biggest mystery. Naturally, this extends to the Child from The Mandalorian. However, for a while, we also have not known the homeworld of the Mandalorian himself.

My Review of "Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season One"
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season One is a Star Trek series that you wouldn't expect to be a Star Trek series. First off it doesn't even look anything like what you would expect a Star Trek series to look like. It's completely animated and it's animated as a comedy animation. There's not a lot of episodes and each episode is only half an hour long. I don't know how they packed so much into these episodes while keeping them entertaining.

The Devil's Favor
My breath catches in my throat and tears run down my cheeks. I can barely breath with all the smoke surrounding me. Last time I felt like this was when I sold my soul to the devil himself. I can only imagine that he’s calling in on that debt now. I really thought I had a little bit longer to enjoy my spoils. Sure, my soul was no longer my own, but I had a great life right now: a nice cushy job, a fantastic wife, a two kids. I really wanted to see them grow up at the very least, but if it’s time for Satan to claim me then I can’t really argue with him.

Realization and church
Week Five A return to church, the same but way different I went back to a church this week. In some ways, it was remarkably similar to what I had just left. Yet it was so vastly different. I went with a friend because I was not sure that I would be able to go through the service without a panic attack, but I did not want it to have that kind of power over me either. It was beautiful. It was held in the high church fashion, the incense, and the sense of awe that comes from the early century worship style. It was all in English. I did not have to struggle to understand what was happening around me. People wanted to be there, and they were not in fear of what would happen if they said the wrong prayer or were not in perfect cadence with the people around them.

Once learnt a greater lesson directly stemming from the last presents itself. Leading myself to the conclusion I am indeed on a path of ascension.

Is the Dark Side Actually More Powerful Than the Light Side?
Screen Rant shared an article asking this very question. It may get one thinking about which side may be more powerful, between the light and the dark. While the article does not appear to take a firm stance on the matter, throwing in fair points for either side, it does allude to the exchange between Luke and Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back. Luke asks, “Is the dark side stronger?” Yoda’s response to this question is, “No… no… no… Quicker, easier, more seductive.”
