Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of five caches inspired by Star Wars film saga. Each cache challenges you in a spirit of the Trials of Knighthood in the Old Jedi Order. In order to complete the trials you have to find and log all five caches, last one being a mystery cache the Trial of Insight. Each cache container includes a hint which is essential for you when solving the mystery. Hint is attached to the logbook, do not remove it nor take it with you!

In Star Wars passing the trials was prerequisite to all Jedi Padawans in order to achieve Jedi Knighthood. The trials were administered by the Jedi High Council to any Padawan they deemed worthy of becoming a Jedi. The five trials were the Trial of Skill, the Trial of Courage, the Trial of the Flesh, the Trial of the Spirit and the Trial of Insight.

Your trials will be guided by Grand Master Yoda, so listen carefully to his words of advice.


Trial of the Spirit

To pass the Trial of the Spirit, apprentices had to look deep within their souls, on a quest of self-discovery. This test was designed to pit a potential Knight against their most dangerous enemy: the darkness within themselves. Often times, apprentices did not like what they saw, and it could be a highly traumatic experience. Because of this gruelling self-examination, this Trial was also known as Facing the Mirror.

Your task is divided into two parts. First part is finding the cache and signing the logbook. This is enough for the official cache logging.

Second part is your Trial of the Spirit. Go to the given coordinates of the meditation spot. Calm down, sense the silence and harmony around you. Let your mind slip into a meditative trance to combat your inner fears and demons. Let the Force of the Nature surround you and reinforce you to conquer your demons.

When you reach peacefull state of mind, open your eyes and keep standing in the same spot. Turn around 360 degrees and search for the Sign with your eyes. You know when you see it. From the Sign you will find a code needed in the mystery solving and in the final location of the mystery.

Yoda's words of advice: "You will find only what you bring in"
