Jedi Sentinel Findings

that not hard i just saw the evolution of sex on the history channel so i know that metaforicly the chicken came first. For a long time animals would reproduce by splitting in to twos so the descendant of the chicken came first and it evolved in to being able to lay and egg.

Well... i read on a bit of paper in a xmas cracker that KFC came first and chickens were invented after it became illegal to sell nuclear waste as food :silly:

A review of what I've found so far.

POTENTIUM
The Potentium was a sect of beings who had a particular way of viewing the Force.They claimed that what others called the light side was actually just the Force itself, which is inherently good. This was backed up by the fact that Ashla, the ancient name of the Force, came later to describe the Light Side. What others therefore called the dark side was a perversion of the Force, twisted by those who used it.Believers of Potentium said that the potential for light and dark sides resided in the user, not the Force itself. They also thought that the Jedi Masters refused to believe in the Potentium view because it would mean the Jedi weren't needed to fight evil, for evil would not exist. And since there was no dark side, there were no dark side actions or Force techniques; in effect any action, good or evil, could be performed without risk as long as the intent wasn't evil.

The Jedi Council didn't consider them Dark Jedi,parallel to the Jedi Order's of Gray Jedi .They said it was the duty of the Jedi to use the Force to protect others, not study its absolute limits. The Council said that testing the Force to its limits would lead to the dark side.

JEDI CLASSES


Jedi Guardian
was the name given to a Jedi whose skills and talents lay in battle, a light side mirror of the Sith Warrior.

They often concentrated on martial training and combat and usually engaged in combat more than any other Jedi, though they were no less skilled at diplomacy. Like all Jedi, they were keepers of the peace, acting as a kind of special police force

Jedi Consular
(also called a Jedi seer) was, like all Jedi, skilled in battle, but rarely entered combat, preferring to study the mysteries of the Force.Consulars were the primary scholars and diplomats and seers of the Order, often becoming instructors.

What the Jedi Guardian preferred to achieve by combat, the Jedi Consular achieved by words or the Force.

When they attained the rank of Jedi Master, consulars became known as Sage Masters.

Two Sage Masters joined with two Warrior Masters to build the initial Jedi Temple

Jedi Sentinels:
were a subsect of the Jedi Order that sought a balance between the two extremes of the Jedi, the Jedi Consulars and the Jedi Guardians. They possessed adequate combat skills and had somewhat extensive knowledge of the Force. Along with this blended knowledge of both combat and the Force, they also possessed exceptional non-Force skills. A Jedi Sentinel typically starts out as a Padawan learner instructed by a higher-ranking Jedi Master. He begins his career at 1st level, and is encouraged to pursue intellectual and physical endeavors. The Jedi Sentinel would be just as likely to be found in a library researching some little known tidbit, as he would be found in a training facility.

A Jedi Shadow
was a Jedi investigator whose duty was to seek out and destroy any sign of the dark side of the Force. If Jedi Guardians were the protectors of the Order, the Shadows were the secret police.

Minder classes

JEDI INVESTIGATOR(this ones long)
Jedi investigators were specially appointed by the Jedi Council. Their primary _object_ives were to uncover hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy, such as powerful criminal syndicates, corruption and conspiracy.Jedi investigators were charged with rooting out the threats via their detective skills and reporting their findings to the Jedi Council, who would then decide what action to take. Jedi investigators usually operated in secrecy, the Council members being the only ones who knew about their missions. Because their missions were so sensitive, it would sometimes appear to other Jedi that a Jedi investigator had left the Jedi Order.

JEDI CORPS(sad one)
The Jedi Service Corps were a place for Jedi students who were never selected by a Master to become a Padawan. The power to send a student away was held solely by the Reassignment Council. The corps had bases in the Jedi Temple, they were not exclusively run by the Jedi; organization commanders worked closely with knights and Jedi Masters alike. Depending on where the student's talents lay, they could be assigned to the Agricultural Corps, the Medical Corps, the Educational Corps, or the Exploration Corps.

JEDI ROOTS

DAI BENDU
The Order of Dai Bendu was one of the many ancient and semi-legendary organizations that studied the Force and the midi-chlorians prior to the birth of the Jedi Order. The Bendu monks used an eight-spoked circular sigil which would later be used as the insignia of the Old Republic.

CHATOS ACADEMY
Chatos Academy is one of the many ancient and semi-legendary organizations that has been proposed as the forerunners of the Jedi Order, but no conclusive links have ever been shown.
Its members were a kind of chivalric order and were entitled Paladins

THE FOLLOWERS OF PALAWA
The Followers of Palawa were an ancient group that studied the Force and midichlorians. The Followers of Palawa developed the martial art of Teräs Käsi as mean to keep the Jedi in check so that presumably, another world would not be destroyed by the Jedi Council.

Rule of two

Darth Bane's Rule of Two

To avoid the seemingly inevitable clash between power hungry Sith, Darth Bane hid from the Jedi and invoked the rule, which stated:
There may only be two Sith at a time in the Galaxy—a Master and an apprentice.

Yoda Speaks!?

Anastrophe:is a figure of speech involving an inversion of the natural order of words.

This is the way Yoda speaks.Its very similar to the Latin way of speaking.Often the first part of the sentence is a statement followed by an opinion.

Yoda:\"Much to learn(statement) you have(opinion)\"

Nice work, Brother Daniel! As ALWAYS!

Can't wait for your piece on the Mandalorians!

Also, I eagarly await your conclusion on the Millenium Falcon.

I hope that the Library has enough space to include each and every word of your research.

Though it may be hard for us to comment on, your work does NOT go unnoticed!

I thank you.

Did you know that Yoda's quot \"fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering\" was accually used way before the first episode of start wars.I ran in to it while re-playing a favorit game of mine.

Final Fantasy 9.

It accually went.

Anxiety leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

Im not so sure that that was even to original quot or were it came from.

In Search of Teaching Skills

When i first became a knight I learned that teaching others was Harder than it looked.Even though I love to teach I was not as good as I wished I was.Slowly I got better at it.Yet I still felt that I was not doing some thing right.A few times I asked others Masters to teach me how to teach or to let me observe them but even thats not so easy for most teachers.So I sought out side help.One day I met a friend that was taking free Kundalini meditation classes.I thought to myself that instead of going to learn how to meditate I'll go and observe how a teacher teaches some thing that not every one knows how to do.

A few months passed and I became friendly with The teacher and the friend that had looped me into the class.She soon asked if we could hang-out outside of class.We did.This was were I learned some thing VERY important.It was as if the Force its self wanted me to know this.
I learned that she was an unstable person and that she held our teachers lectures in a much higher place than she should have.The way she tuck her teachers lessons ,not only that but the teacher him self, was extremely dangerous.She believed him to be some sort of savior witch he might have been but not only a savior but also a god.The lessons that I learned weren't half bad but far from lordable.Yet she could not be reasoned with.She would probably fight to her death if some one were to challenge her teachers beliefs.

At this point I learned that Teaching can cause harm as well as it can help.You really have to be care full how you teach and WHO you teach.Not every one is ready to learn or will ever be ready to learn.I feel bad for people that have lost the space for an open mind.

As I posted elsewhere Daniel, the role of a teacher is one that comes with it, POWER

with POWER comes responsibility.

Both of these things are are subjects in their own rights, but here is another example, in archery and martial arts and many sports in general, if your teacher isnt truly upto the job, they can teach you the wrong things and teach you bad habits (sloppy form or whatever) and likewise, teaching oneself from a book can do the same thing.

This when put in black n white seems quite obvious, yet many of us learn this the hard way and as you say, many still cant see it for themselves.

Is not this form of teaching almost 'brainwashing'

Thank your sharing this Daniel... thought provoking

I have always know that getting money for a church is a lot easier than most people thought.
There are so many companies out there that want to donate money to a church in exchange for tax diductions.

Here's how

Many companies will make donations - you'll need a letter on church letterhead with the Tax ID number and proof that the organization is a 501 C 3.It will take some leg work but it's worth it.

Scientology strikes again!!

Note: I'm cutting out the the parts that dont have much to do with it but if you wan to read the article go here.

NASSAU, Bahamas – An autopsy is planned for John Travolta's teenage son, who died after apparently hitting his head on the bathtub while the family was vacationing at their home in the Bahamas, authorities said.

Jett Travolta, 16, had last been seen entering the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, Police Superintendent Basil Rahming said in a statement.

A house caretaker found the teenager unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the statement said.

Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub, said a police officer who declined to be named because she was not authorized to speak on the matter.

Family attorney Michael Ossi said in a statement that Jett died suddenly on Friday. Publicists Samantha Mast and Paul Bloch released the statement but could not be reached for additional comment.

Preston and Travolta have said that Jett became very sick when he was 2 years old and was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, an illness that leads to inflammation of the blood vessels in young children. She blamed household cleaners and fertilizers, and said that a detoxification program based on teachings from the Church of Scientology helped improve his health, according to People magazine. Both Travolta and Preston are practicing Scientologists.

The Scientology Celebrity Center in Los Angeles declined to comment.
