A datapad can be found in front of a back area in one of Zalea’s ships. It reads:
When my master was teaching me, we were limited by a lack of resources. Nobody else could have taught me as good as she did, but a lack of holocrons, writing, accounts, and lessons I could draw on from outside of my direct lessons from her sometimes left holes in my knowledge. It has taken me a long time to fill those holes. To that end, I am starting a collection of knowledge my students can pull on.
A long, ornate scroll of hand-drawn Mirialan calligraphy. A note next to it says:
Provided to me by the priest Tothir. He gave me permission to place it here. Please be careful with it.

I. The Force is All Things.
There is One Force
It is Life, it is Death
It is the Storm, and its Eye
It is the Thought, and the Feeling
It is the Body, and the Mind
It is the Self, and the All
And I am the Force
The Force is All Things.
II. And I am the Force
The Force is within, and it is without
It unfurls itself within each chest
It blossoms in each thought
A diamond, a ruby, whose clarity
Can only be seen by my mind’s eye
And whose nature is only revealed
In the moment of its arising
By my own walking of the Way.
III. The Force is Present
It is not Past, nor Future
It is not Here, nor There
It is all these things, and it is a single moment
Once present, the Force flows with me
Once present, the Force does not flow against me
Once present, Time ceases to be
And all that becomes is Being
Once present, I am free.
IIII. Only freed, do I see the ties that bind
Each action to each being
Only freed, do I see that all beings are One
All things arise in dependence
And all things persist in interdependence
The Force binds these things
And is bound to these things
I am responsible for all these things
And they are responsible for me.
