metacenter 
If we use the analogy of a floating object, say with the ship as the conscious activity (thought, perception) and the water as subconscious activity (feelings, emotion, instincts etc), the awareness could exist at any point but to use some notion of balance in a dynamic relationship.... perhaps metacenter is apt.

A interesting theory to consider. Or as my 4 year old daughter would say "Hmmm Think Face" *Stroke chin like daddy would stroke his beard*

The past couple of days I've been trying to identify a word that would be appropriate. As Brenna wrote, it might be impossible to choose a single word that would be totally accurate and meaningful to every individual.
But... wholeness maybe? I wanted to say oneness, but that doesn't feel completely representative of what I believe makes a Jedi Knight. Wholeness, to me, says everything (love, oneness, self-awareness, compassion, balance, perceptiveness, patience, integrity, reason, etc.) and remains open-ended enough to support additional or alternative interpretations.

Ive been thinking about it too over the last few days. Closest ive come to settling on a word is Commitment, or maybe Dedication.
Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

Perhaps "seeker"
I.e. seeker of truth, seeker of justice, seeker of knowledge.
Or "wanderer" on the path of those examples above?
This thread really makes you consider semantics and connotations. Loving it

Yup! :laugh: Glad you guys are enjoying it!!
I find that one word often comes with a whole bunch of words. For example....
Pick the One Word you chose for this thread. And match that word with all the other words that mean the same thing, or the synonyms of that word
You might find that the one word you chose, will encompass a great many aspects that makes a Jedi, just gotta look deeper than the appearance of "One Word" Even a single word has a deeper and broader meaning
IE: Harmony = Balance, Friendships, Peace, Goodwill, Tranquility......

And as a fun little bonus! Once your done connecting all the matching words with your one. Look up the synonyms for your one word. I was surprised at how many words that matched up with my choice that I missed or didn't think about
