about the author
MJ Dickinson is a dreamer who found solace in the stars. Growing up in a home of emotional extremes, his life changed forever at age six when Star Wars illuminated a new path forward. After seeing the film in 1977, every choice MJ made—educational, professional, relational—tied back to this vision of an advanced future grounded in unity. His spiritual journey began early with a Baptist minister grandfather, then evolved through exploring diverse faiths until the Force felt like coming home.
MJ’s approach to the Jedi path merges the practical with the profound. His lightsaber training and meditation practices serve as living laboratories where he tests the principles shared in “Finding Balance.” Writing not as someone who has achieved perfect balance but as a fellow traveler, MJ offers this book as a companion on your journey, hoping these teachings provide the same clarity, purpose, and peace they have brought to his life.
