opposite applies to chaos where more calm evil characters should be yet Abeloth isn't the genius evil mastermind she would have to be to embody the chaos side of the force.
No, Chaos does not inspire calm--It is the unsynchronized and unpredictable efforts of drawing on all possible emotions to attain greater power. Unlike in the case of balance, this is a completely uncontrollable process that can lead to insanity if gone too deeply into.

Im not denying that. I mean that since she is the peak of chaos, then where do characters like Sidious and Nihilus stand?
Palpatine is almost completely Dark Side aligned, similarly to Darth Malgus. Control and tact does not make one any less Dark Side aligned--Sith Inquisitors use deceit and betrayal, which are just as Dark as hate and fury.
Nihilus is a wound in the Force, not sure if he can be properly charted.

The only thing that bothers me is that Palpatine should be at the top of something or at least very close. However, he is very different from Abeloth or the son for that matter.
Yes, Nihilus is a unique case.

When I picture the Force, for some reason, I picture a bluish white energy that those who are force sensitive can direct and manipulate. I also think that neither the Jedi or the Sith can use the Force to its full effect since each side only has half of the knowledge.
"The immortal illusion. An embodiment so powerful it is believed as a legend. A raw aura of pure energy, balanced in masterful light. An ultimate, omniscient vision. A untrammeled being of perfect. Sheer clarity pierces the heavens as the Force itself coaxes into view. Lord Revan has came."

Question: Is there even such a thing as the Light Side?
It was cited in TESB.

I believe Lucas insinuated that it was merely the natural form of the Force.
No. That did not happen.

No.

Look what the chosen one did. He brought balance to the force by killing all the jedi and the sith.
No, just the Sith.

Luke and Anakin create balance by destroying the Sith, but the Jedi survive. Wouldn't that be unbalanced?
No, because it's the balance of the Force, not the balance of the Force-users.

There is the light side, which is the force in its natural state
No. The Force in its natural state includes both the light and dark sides. Lucas has always maintained this and it was also said in various Legends EU sources.

The Sith and the Dark Side send the Force off-balance.
The Banite Sith throw the Force out of balance, but the balance is between the light and dark sides, so the mere presence of the dark side does not unbalance the Force.

Im quite familiar with Taoism. 🙂It has no dark side of the force though.
It has an analogue in yin.

George Lucas > Mortis Trilogy
Mortis is 100% consistent with what Lucas has actually said about the Force. It only contradicts what fans had been telling themselves about the Force.
