Jedi Knight in one word

I quite like this quote:

Great discussions guys! Keep it up!

I like this one

"The Tao which can be expressed in words is not the eternal Tao"

So if you're not trying to teach the big picture now, what are you trying to teach us with this particular game?

I was lead to believe that a Novice wasn't allowed to teach here So. Nothing. Save for what you find during your inner reflections to find your one word It wasn't meant to be anything more than finding that one word. If we get good conversations out of it as well....sweet!! Im happy Otherwise...just seeing where this goes and adding my thoughts/musings/input as we go.

haha no more than my first answer "Jedi"

Balance

Integrity

Impossible.......

And that is why we fail....

I completely agree, Zazen.

It seems to me, in my very humble opinion, that if we were to describe all that a Jedi Knight is, in just one word, it would nearly always be self-defeating... unless we stood back to look at the entire picture.

We could say "honour", but what of "compassion"?

We could say "loyalty", but what of "wisdom"?

We could say "love", but what of "meditative", or "defender"?

From what I can see, in any chivalric order, one must strive to reach the impossible goal; perfection... in all these qualities and the many more, in order to embody the epitome of these, in order to inspire others - to bring out forth from within those, a driven desire to do the same, themselves... to inspire by means of the very best, most noble and gentle method of teaching...

...and that method also happens to be the only One Word that might wholly describe a Jedi Knight...

*example*

The single word I would have chosen when I first walked the Jediism path would have been...

HOPE

Now that I have taken a few steps along the path I feel the word that best suits my thinking is simply

INFINATE or INFINITY

Why? the infinite possibilities that jediism presents once ones mind is freed from everyday fluff

Just my little inpt - ive enjoyed this thread
