There is an endemic idea out there that can be combated by deeds, and choices. Blind hate lets you hate someone without even knowing their name or anything about them personally. Pastor Carlos here with a few tips on how; as Jedi, we can combat what is blind hate today in our every day lives.
"Who are you ...who who....I've gotta know ...."
This is a line from a band called The Who and the idea is this... details. Find out more.
Blind hate doesn't ever have specifics just general ideas and broad blanket actions. Blind hate dwells and festers inside without facts or specifics. It is a inside thing. To combat things inside, you can reflect. You can change the outcome by changing the in...coming.
Blind Hate is everywhere even on this very site. No one is immune to it....
There is no vaccine we can take to rid us of Blind Hate, only deeds, if we choose. To combat blind hate, see more. Ask more and find out.
Seek and you will find... what you cannot see.
There is so much more past blind hate in a path.
Happy seeking
May the Force be with y'all this week

To ask, a universal way to open one's eyes. Even to those whom you have ascribed your hatred should you ask, perhaps a discussion begins and from there you see the person. And from there hatred is no longer blind a step towards love.
just 2 cents,
Love, respect and peace,

You ever eat people's pain. Do you know what I mean by that, to sit and listen to others going through brutal times in their life, to absorb that and then feel it yourself? Does it sit within you too? As Jedi we seek to counsel more than to be consoled but in the modern Jedi's mind what does that really mean?
There is a light inside you, it your heart that shines no matter how much shade you let in, or however many layers you try to paint over it. How do we as modern Jedi foster this light? Obviously we often fall back to meditation and clearing our minds to do that. It is one of the first steps of out learning. But when we get further than that what do you do?
Maybe I am writing this on the block because I need some help carving away a few of my layers. And once upon a time, and more recently I found a little help from our neighbors might be a good option to clean our own yards.
Much love to you all,
Kobos

This season is time for the cardigans. I've got my favorites ready. One of the joys for me about growing old is I no longer have to buy new jackets or coats. The mornings are chilly here but get warm about noon-time and do not quite yet stay cold. I got my cardigan game ready and my sweater game down too.
Seasons come and go and some can be ... prepared for.
In our path there are seasons and times. There are times to begin things and time to end things and there are even sometimes to bow out or get put in. Sometimes it can range from studying up to getting something new.
I want to encourage every Jedi today and this week to think bout this, What do you do to get ready for the changes in life? Do we notice them? What are they ? Are you alone in your changes? Do you have help?
It is my hope everyday that we know our own questions and have our own answers to these questions.
Are you ready for the chill? Winter is coming as so are the changing of the seasons in nature and maybe in some paths. Happy seeking and may the Force be with y'all.

What we keep.
We are the only ones who can choose what we keep for our us. No one else can.
I have worked in the dirt most my life and I am ok with that. Some day I shall work for my family the way I worked for others. The time is shorty arriving. In that time of learning, I had a farmer tell me every day to "Check the keep Carlus" What was meant by that was to check on the items we were working on that day specifically. If we were driving and hauling, check the truck and machinery. Check gas and equipment. If we were planting, check planters and things that we used to plant. It meant to check on the thing we used today. What was at hand.
Hey Jedi, check your keep ? Have you checked on the things you have been actively doing or seeking? Where are you keeping the things you find?
Better still, what do you do with all the things we find when we find them? (My best Yoda voice) Hmmmmm??? Hmmmmm????
Take some time this week to check your keep Jedi, whats in your wallet - or whats in your heart and mind and soul???
What do you keep?
Why......
May the FORCE be with you Jedi!

Good day, This morning finds me here chatting with those workers who were scheduled to work on the road by my home today. Turns out, they began super early this morning. They began to arrive and began at 7 am on the dot. The trucks they are using are loud. Yea, I am not a morning person at all. What a grouchy way to start this week, so I poured them coffee. Turns out, they had no idea about me or my way of life. Nope. I dawned on me, most times in my life some of my problems are not directly here for me. Morning mayhem isnt specifically for Carlos, no no, it is just morning mayhem at times. There are sometimes in our path and walks that things happen and its just because well, not because of us.
One of the best examples of this very thing is rain.
Rain
Who takes the blame for rain? Who can? So there is no malice or even intent when it rains. It's time to rain. What we do in the rain, thats up to us.
In our paths and reflections and journeys, can we tell the difference between the rain and the sun and one another or is it all just me verses the world every day every time? I can tell you from experience, that, that type of idea of fighting all the time gets exhaustive, any type of constant conflict needs a break for growth. Growth takes time we do not understand till we are in it.
Our THREE Tenets are Focus Knowledge and Wisdom
Wisdom is the sound application of accrued knowledge and experience through patient, good judgment.
That's gunna take some time. Figuring out what is what and which end is up, is something I will be doing for the rest of my life. Finding out that some things are just part of the Force can help you realize that some woes are not woes at all but people who are ready to work waaaaaaay earlier than you/me somedays.
This week I want to encourage you to give your problems a name...
Han learned to call his beast in the pit by ITS first name.... well he did not actually call him that but you get the point. Sometimes things turn out entirely different when we add the personal touch. How do you change things in your path and life, give em a name or a personal touch. It may be that one thing that can change the outcome, if you so choose. Sometimes that thing every one fears and doesn't understand, is the one that cry's and cares for you the most...till the very end. Imagine what could happen if we gave The Beast in our own paths, hope. ??
Something to think about this week Jedi

This week I want to bring to light the wind powered ships. As a old salt dog myself I laughed out loud like a fool at the fact that we now have wind powered ships. I thought it was funny in that we already have sail ships since we could write. Then I saw the specifications. WOW.
Some ideas are not new and some ideas are flat out a old idea. The Hero's Journey is a old idea in which we as humans share a similar plot at times. We share our findings and paths. Here, we mentor. That is not a new idea. In our path - this week- notice the old things made new. They are there. Some of us even tell the old stories anew. For those who need it, keep going and keep telling the same story. Keep it up. For those seeking it, you WILL find it. Seek and you will find. That is one of the joys of this type of reflective journey, you find your own past and mentors on it. It can very easily lead you to the past and some old stuff.... Think about it. Old tech for new ideas- bring on the fresh, from the past !! Happy seeking and May the Force be with you

Good day Jedi and friends.
These seasons have flow. No flow is more evident than that of the time to remember. The seasons pause before they change. Even in our calendars, it reminds us to remember and take time to remember.
We self reflect here and share. What we do is really remember. We recall. How we react to what we find can be one hundred percent on us and a path we may need to take with a drop of caution.
Real Talk
Holiday times are not Joyous and Triumphant for every one. Some times reflections hurt. Please take time this year and season to reflect. Also remember that in the seek of things, something's we find, may let anger hang out as well. It is real. Have a seat for the anger as well. Sometimes, just being able to have a space is all you need to grow.
Remember where you have been and remember where you are now. Let the seasons and the Force guide you. Same time, remember some things can hurt too. Pack accordingly.

The Creed states this
I am a Jedi, an instrument of peace;
Where there is hatred I shall bring love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
I am a Jedi.
I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The Force is with me always, for I am a Jedi.
Creed adopted from the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, author unknown, 1915.
"I shall bring.."
If you read or recite the Creed like this, one could see a bit more...
I shall be the bringer of Love
I shall be the bringer of Pardon
I shall be the bringer of Faith
I shall be the bringer of Hope
I shall be the bringer of Light
I shall be the bringer of Joy
even more....
I keep Love for giving
I keep Pardon for giving
I keep Faith for giving
I keep Hope for giving
I keep Light for giving
I keep Joy for giving
Does this change the way we see the Creed? I hope so.
This week, we can be the bringers of peace as much as anything else. By keeping peace, we can give it. Keep it and give it. Some days, if it were not for the giving of others, I would have gotten what I deserved. Need a change? Be the change you need. Be the "what ever it is" for some one else. Woahhhhhhhhhh.... what a concept. Or you can carry one too, that ok too. For those who seek a change or even just something new, try keeping a few of these things for those who need it. There is a magic in things like this and there is a grace that dwells in flow of things like this too. Virtues begets virtue.
Something to think about this week friends and Jedi
May the Force be with y'all!

7. Jedi understand their limitations. We recognize, and take responsibility, for our failures and develop a level of modesty about them. We respect the right for others to disagree and understand that they themselves are not perfect.
This Monday Meditation we talked about :
Reflection and too much being too much.
We have limits. We do. We are human. Understanding these limits can help anyone on a self-reflective path. We can stack too much in our own paths and watch things topple. This holiday season and this week, take some time to think on Jedi Teaching 7.
Can too much reflection harm as well?
Something to think about Jedi as we go through this week together. May the Force be with y'all

Harmony and Understanding
These are a few things that can bring or share peace.
We have this "glow" about us, every single one of us. The "wanna-help" light seems to always be on for some and thats ok.
Jedi teaching 14 reminds us it aint gunna be easy and it will take some time. There are some who understand things quickly, I do not. Thats ok too. The understanding part of things takes some application and time.
We are keepers of what we got. Share what ya got. There are so many levels of peace and understanding, I will meet you in the seek. Promise.

I have noticed the push for mindfulness in the world and in my own community. Its on billboards and commercials and even on the radio and music and books.
In our thoughts are where things often live. This week I want to remind Jedi to be mindful of our thoughts. What we put in this week will come out next week and what we often read is how we can think. Seeing the beauty in others is so much more than just tolerance. By this action we can find strength.
If you do not know, Every Monday we meet in the Discord in the Pastors room for a hour to chat on such things. This morning was a good chat. Thank you all to those who show up a often as they do. Please feel free to post here with your ideas or comments or encouragements on such things.
Think about mindfulness and share it this week. May the Force be with y'all this week.

Today and this week I want to remind Jedi everywhere to have a creed and code and to be ready when its checked, you may reach your limits this season.
Having Codes and Creeds is a human thing. We got em in every color and idea you can fathom. Some have rhythms and rythemes and some are as simple as a easy statment.
Ours are here
https://www.templeofthejediorder.org/doctrine-of-the-order
Qui Gon Jin says our focus determines our reality. This is a very human thing to say not a Jedi thing. I have a Hawaiian study course I take. I keep it in my heart for me. It is a part of me as much as my hair and tatoos. One in paticular is one of seven called MAKIA - Energy flows where attention goes.
The days of making things up have been traded for seeking of the originals.
See this week if your Jedi Creed and Codes are already in your path. Do some reflection and find a few parallels when it comes to creeds and codes and you will find how human Jedi really are. ?

Focus Knowledge and Wisdom are a path any Jedi anywhere can travel or set a path on. These three words and ideas can create.
I have the joy and privilege to host a hour chat session in our Discord space every Monday. If your around join in. We chat about every day doctrine and application. This Monday was a good one.
I want to encourage others to join on Mondays and start the week with ideas and doctrine to think about during the week.
May the Force be with ya'll

Meditation: To exercise the mind.
"Through regular meditation a Jedi examines their motivations, and are certain that they are not allowing emotion, ignorance, or passion to intrude upon them. Meditation can be used by a Jedi to improve their mindfulness, focus, or patience."
One of the things I like is how we share. Good morning! Jedi everywhere.
This morning, in Discord, we were chatting about mediation and how it produces Focus, Patience, and Mindfulness.
If we are seeking those types of skills, then meditation is the place to find it. There are always different practices and no ONE way is ever "the way" with this very idea. Meditation produces so many results for each person, it can be a benefit to everyone in a very personal way. How and when we meditate can change the results we get. There is a secret benefit to rising early to meditate so many know by different names. The same can be said for night-time meditations. The potential is always there. Where we find what we seek can be up to us. For some, meditation is automatic, and I say that those who are there are gifted. There are some it doesn't come so easily to, for those, keep meditation often. Keep trying to find that which you seek. It can often happen in the thick of the try, the seek. Get deep in it. Go for it. Do it. You will not regret it.

A Jedi knows how contradicting beliefs of what is right and wrong can lead to devastating crimes and conflicts. A Jedi takes a step away from the subjectivity of opinion in favor of the peace of objectivity. A Jedi does not force their values upon others.
Belief is powerful. Zeal is a word used to describe much and a very focused idea of faith. Everyone has it. Everyone gets it. Everyone has the potential to fall in love.
There is a heed that can be taken today on this American holiday of love.
Be aware of the dangers and the potentials of belief. It can be the most wonderful and the most dangerous thing, like LOVE. Same power and same ability to be blinded by both in the same way.
Where does your belief take you and make? What and where is our focus? What does it make? I want to encourage every Jedi to check ourselves often. Its ok. Make peace as a focus some days and see if you can not trade it for something else like peace rather than conflict or objection. Love in belief can exist and it can be like miracle grow for some. The ability to give the space can help things grow in paths and in life. What it yields is the million dollar question! What will you apply it to????
Happy day of remembering your love(s)
Fall in love again today,
Pastor Carlos

To be a Jedi sometimes means choosing the more difficult path, the personally expensive one. A Jedi knows they must make the right choice, take the right side and that the weak they have sworn to defend often stand alone. A Jedi puts aside fear, regret, and uncertainty yet knows the difference between courage and sheer stupidity.
We have morning Meditation discussions on Doctrine in the Pastor room on Monday. Today was a good one and we chatted about things about courage. Finding out what it is for us is healthy and asking is even better. As we grow and learn things become of less a value than some and some become more valuable than others.
I am old so courage does not hold the value it once did when I was in war or in gang fights. It changed on me! Thats one of the ideas of growing. It can change as we seek it too.
Sharing courage and encouraging others to reflect is one of the ways to grow it. Self reflection is not for the faint or the meek and what you find WILL need some courage. Keep on. You are never alone in this place. Continue to share it and talk about it and keep it.
Some things just look like sheer stupidity. We know- May the Force be with y'all Pastor Carlos

[7:00 AM]
To trust in the ways of the FORCE
[7:01 AM]
How do we trust in something we can not explain? or see...or touch or hear only share ..??
[7:01 AM]
How do you trust something that isnt the same every time ??
[7:02 AM]
This week - think of this Maxim
[7:02 AM]
"Although the ways of the Force may seem strange at times, a Jedi always knows their place and their role within it." (edited)
[7:03 AM]
Dare we to trust our role in something we cant even coin? or describe? (edited)
[7:04 AM]
How do we as Jedi have faith in the Force ?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
i ve no idea how to explain this
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
And thats the guts of it
[7:06 AM]
this is a place we can be
[7:06 AM]
This is what Maxims can do
[7:07 AM]
they can take us to places where we ask ourselfs....how do i say it
[7:07 AM]
Maxims let you think about truths and how *WE YOU I *explain and *DO *them
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
Faith it self i find is a strange thing !
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
as do i
[7:09 AM]
no one is the same
[7:09 AM]
no one
[7:09 AM]
I have asked
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
specially in religions
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
what is the "STRANGE" in the FORCE ?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
in one way say, have faith in our self is a sign of strength and confidence, have faith in a religions or political party can be blind and not very wise
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
Faith can make you blind???
[7:11 AM]
do tell...
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
When we talk about the Force i call it Nature as well, it does it thing, following it s laws that we all have no say about. But this subject really depend on how people see what the Force is exactly
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
so many feelings? hu?
[7:12 AM]
how do you make the distinction between faith and feelings?
@Pastor Carlos
Faith can make you blind???
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
having faith in a religions a god, that faith is the only thing that make that god real.
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
excuse the swearing but if i feel like shit does that make everyone shit? even Gods and religions?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
feeling are a different thing than faith
[7:15 AM]
but what is faith exactly !?
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
There is a movie we just watched Sweeny Todd - in it he has a song that the world is shit and everyhtin in it is shit blah blah blah ... does that make it so if all he knows is this life? does it make it so?
River — 02/28/2022
It makes it so for him
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
That is one question we may define for our own paths - What is OUR faith
[7:16 AM]
OUR faith
[7:16 AM]
How do we know our role in the Force ? our own Paths?
River — 02/28/2022
Intuition, imo
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
It is to us as HUMANS
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
hehe the Faith thing is a difficult thing to understand for me
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
me too
[7:18 AM]
hope
[7:18 AM]
Hope
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022

Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
its a strange concept to me but I am understanding it better every time I use it
[7:18 AM]
even if I use hope ill - fully
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
since the beginning i ve had faith in my wife her talent and in our school/ daycare , some how i knew it will work even if it didnt look like that at the time
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
even if I hope fro things I know CANT happen
[7:19 AM]
fath in our own paths that we will find that which we seek
[7:20 AM]
how do we find our path in our own path or as the Maxim says "Although the ways of the Force may seem strange at times, a Jedi always knows their place and their role within it."
[7:21 AM]
We can find our place or places in the Force and in our own path
[7:21 AM]
we can
[7:21 AM]
What is the way of the Force ?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
does the Force has a way ?
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
Does it?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
like Does the Force has a purpose ?
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
In my own findings I have found that what I seek has ways ...lots of them
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
it seems that only humans have the need to find a purpose for life
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
so its a HUMAN thing?
[7:23 AM]
the big H
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
the way i see it , i looks that way. The Sparrow does not wonder about his path, why he lives and the meaning of thing. the Sparrow does his thing
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
We can find us in the mix any day
[7:25 AM]
specially along side the birds lol
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
Humans have the phycological complication to deal with, so maintaining our self with in a path of humanity seems to be a difficult thing
[7:26 AM]
our emotions are that complicated
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
Jedi and the Cinema is all about ....the HUMAN species ...cath that? every one has their species but its a chief focus on one of the old MOTIFS of life WHAT OF HUMANITY?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
We do wayyyyy too much thinking
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
lol I need to think more myself lol
[7:27 AM]
but the idea of this Maxim today is FAITH in the Force
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
Having faith in the Force might be to help our self living in the moment
[7:29 AM]
to actually stop thinking that much about the future
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022

Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022

Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022

Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022

Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022

Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022

[7:32 AM]

[7:32 AM]

Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
now those questions are more precise (edited)
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
some things ar what we think "automatic"
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
what about empathy
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
is that "automatic" too?
[7:34 AM]
can it be or can we program or train our own ideas to display these things too ?
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
it doesnt seems to be, or is it but we get corrupted
Owl (any pronoun) — 02/28/2022
Faith in the ways of the force sounds to me a lot like in Taoism where action without acting is a thing to do
Vincent Causse — 02/28/2022
many animals have those emotions did they learn or are they automatic
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
The Force is LIKE many things-- we use the word "like" to relate to things but it is NEVER those things
Owl (any pronoun) — 02/28/2022
Similar yet different as all things are
Pastor Carlos — 02/28/2022
nods at OWL
[7:37 AM]
so our Maxim states and reminds us that eventhough it may seem like ....strange...or not normal...or routine...or even predictable... try the Force and try to fit on somthing that cant be told to fit...see where that leaves us? not hanging but WAITING lol
[7:37 AM]
waiting on the Force and can you really force ...the Force ? nooooo its on its own time ....
[7:41 AM]
So this week - this Monday think on these things if you like
[7:41 AM]
Though the ways of the FORCE seem strange at times

Thank you
What is said on Mondays - this past Monday actually.
One of our Maxims is this
Faith: To trust in the ways of the Force.
Although the ways of the Force may seem strange at times, a Jedi always knows their place and their role within it.
What do you think?
