Hello Jedi Brothers and Sisters,

My name is Ben Clarke, I am 26 years old from Northern England. This is the first time I have ever joined a religious community and I am very honoured to be here.

I have spent a great amount of time studying and researching world religions and have tried to take the positives out of each one to increase my knowledge and spiritual awareness.

I have always preferred the more spiritual religions such as Buddhism and Taoism over the more fundamental religions.

I have always had an interest in Jediism and have studied it relentlessly over the past 2 weeks before applying to be a guest here, so that way I wouldn't join you and The Temple Of The Jedi Order too hastily with little knowledge.

Unlike other religions, I have not found a single thing that I disagree with about Jediism, everything about it is everything I want to train to be and already through just it's basic teachings alone, I have bettered myself and helped others without seeking reward.

I have studied the Doctrine, The Three Tenents, The Jedi Code, The Creed, The 16 Teachings and the 21 Maxims intently. There is much more for me to learn and I graciously hope you can share your wisdom with me so I can rightfully earn the title of Jedi someday. Any advice is welcome.

I am here to take this seriously with the utmost commitment. Thank you for taking your valuable time in reading this. I really appreciate it :-).

May the Force be with you.

Faithfully,

Welcome Ben. Sounds like you are already well on your way with the studies etc :) keep up the good work, and don't forget this is your journey so there is no pressure and you can take the studies at your own pace and be involved as much as you want.

Sound advice Burn Phoenix, I am sure to take it on board. I have studied every day and enjoyed every minute.

I understand that a Jedi shows patience in all aspects of life so I will not rush the initiate program or my training.

Thank you for your message, friend :-).

May the Force be with you.

Ben.
