Why I like Jestor

He acts like he is some kind of Jedi Councilor or Bishop or something. As if he teaches the Jedi Path or some crazy thing. pffft. Jestor. What kind of name is that anyway? It is as if he makes people smile and believes we should enjoy amusement when able. Yeah. I really don't like that guy at all.

gee opie, tell us what you really feel.

It is nice to see how much appreciation there is for all the Jedi here at the Temple. I'm just gonna sneak in here for a moment and thank all the Jedi I've come into contact with here at TOTJO. Each and every single person who has posted something from their own mind, heart and soul has aided me in being the best I can be, and I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. Every member of our community is special and important. We all have our paths to follow and as we follow those paths we sometimes forget that it is the paths of each and every TOTJO member that helps shape Jediism as a whole. This goes for other Jedi who are on other sites or who have yet to join a community of Jedi as well, but it is less likely that those Jedi will read this.

This is just me thread-jacking for a quick moment to give my thanks to each and every Jedi on this site and in the world. I'm a better person because of all of you and I look forward to my future interactions with you, as a student, peer, mentor or just someone to talk with. And that's the way the cookie crumbles, back to you guys.

May the Force be with you,
Rai

Well I think you should just enjoy your anti-roasting, Jestor. Yeah, sure there are others who do great work here, but you make it entertaining!

I am definitely grateful for everyone here, though. It's only been a little over two months and already my life has changed so drastically in such positive ways. If it wasn't for the work that you all do, I don't know where I'd be in my life right now, so thanks to everyone who contributes their time and energy to keeping things running. And thanks to everyone who has made a difference to my life personally. I don't think I could ever properly express how truly grateful I am.

No mo cookie fo you!

Behind the bloody pics and cookies . . i know that he knows just what Einstein knows . . ya know . .

Its . . Pureland baby. . not la la land . . .

“A human is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein

Just saying thanks . . . .
