The Force can be viewed as a Library of knowledge, to some degree.
Everyone has access to this library and the knowledge is there for the taking; however, how many people dare tread the long and dark stairwell that leads to the catacombs; the places where the ancient truths of past time, the place where the enigmatic questions of humanity, the place where the very outer reaches of human awareness ponder, all are stored.
These catacombs are, in their own respect, the Darkness. With the knowledge they store, one can become well versed and wise; however one also becomes burdened with what plagued humanity since the dawn of time.
With this knowledge comes a higher level of consciousness; and yet, one that pursues this knowledge exposes themselves to the "dangerous truths".
As sith, one should accept this burden and power through it. But there comes a time in every Siths experience that one must drop everything... all strength, all power, all understanding, and bask in what is solely the Darkness. Letting go of all that connected one to this world, yet not travelling to another.
Existing in the void of pure Darkness.
The problem with this is that you cannot reach this place through hate and anger and rage. That will merely decend you into the catacombs of the Darkness from the rest of humanity.
Once you have found these catacombs; this place of knowledge; in fact the actual Darkness, one must cut the tethers that tie you to the rest of humanity.
Hate.
Anger.
Rage.
any and all emotion.
When you have severed this humanity; albeit possibly temporarily, then you are free to flow with the current of the Darkness, and many things will be revealed to you.
Make your mind clear and placid void of thought or feeling and allow the Darkness to flow...
and as long as you are in this Heart of Darkness, you will find the mysteries and the understanding.
