Star Wars isn’t just a series of movies—it’s an incredibly profound lesson in life, spirituality, magick and the journey of spiritual awakening. Here’s seven potent lessons it can teach us about Knowing Thyself…
Star Wars might be the most popular science-fiction franchise ever made. What people don’t know is that the original trilogy is also an incredible good introductory course in esoteric spirituality. George Lucas famously described himself as Buddhist-Methodist, and openly admitted that the original trilogy is inspired by Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The next time you need to explain the basics of magick, the occult and esotericism to your friends, use Star Wars. Here’s seven lessons any budding magician can learn from Lucas’ cinematic masterpiece.
1. Don’t Ignore the Call of the Spirit
In the first film of the original trilogy, Luke is saved by “Old Ben,” a hermit living on the outskirts of Tatooine, after a seemingly random series of circumstances. Later, when Ben views Princess Leia’s distress recordings, he reveals himself to be the exiled Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even though Luke initially declines the Jedi’s offer to train with him, he accepts his destiny when he discovers that his family has been killed by raiders. This is the first spiritual lesson: The immediacy of the call. In the Bible, prophets are often recruited by “the spirit of the Lord,” which wants them to initiate spiritual and social renovation. The prophet Elijah orders Elisha to leave his family, and Jonah, after running away from God (and spending time in the belly of a fish) finally decides to do his Will. Similarly, in some Buddhist sutras, The Buddha’s disciples immediately relinquish their worldly pursuits in order to practice the dharma.
