Real Jedi of the future

Becoming something new doesn't mean giving up something old. We can always keep our school. How ever if we never try to be anything more we'll never be anything more. As it stand there is very little we teach that cant be learned at a collage, on the internet, a dojo, or a public school. So does humanity need another school. No. but it couldn't hurt. So we're here. How ever the fact still remains that we are something humanity doesn't need very much.

The future of TOTJO is murky. Only by communicating better and trusting each other will we stand a chance at such a goal.

I don’t know that we are something that humanity doesn’t need very much. Yes, we teach things that most can learn in a variety of other places, but I feel we offer something that most other places don’t.

Acceptance. A lot of people preach tolerance, but do we really need more tolerance? Maybe if we accepted more for what it truly was we wouldn’t have to tolerate as much. And that is one thing I know that several people here desperately attempt every day. Accepting others for who they, the individual, is. Not for what they could become or what they might learn, but just for being who they are.

Does the world ever not need that?


I am by no means trying to disagree with you, just illustrate that I feel we do have something to offer that is not as common as many might think. And it is one of our more unique qualities.

PS, I agree with what you said about not giving something up.

I also agree with you. How ever the thought that people wouldn't reach "enlightenment in the midst of ignorance" without TOTJO is a little disconcerting. Many have gained the knowledge we teach and preach for we and our teachers and their teachers learned it from some one else. "Its all be done under the sun." :lol:

I can also point out many other people that have LIVED this philosophy their whole life. So many people have realised what we have without TOTJO. There are many schoolse of philosophy that have far more knowledge and experience than we do. I do hope we teach more than philosophy. Not every one can relate to philosophy.

If its in our future to become more we will...at least i hope we will.

Ask this question tomorrow.

Hmmm...Jedi of the future...what is the destiny of the order? What should we seek to become? Never have more insignificant questions been asked of us, in my opinion. Focusing to fixedly on the future loses sight of the now, and that is always detrimental to the "health" of an organization. What we are as an Order is a means for people to study, learn, and self-improve. How is that not what we should be? Why should we strive to be anything else? What we are as Jedi is an example to those who would see. How is this not what we should be? Why should we strive to be anything else? Seeking a future that is different from our present is, essentially, stating that we are not "good enough" as is. I don't see it that way. We are all exactly as we should be right now, in the moment and to strive to change is to find fault with what we are. I may not be getting my point across clearly, but I think that there is no humanity outside ourselves, and we are already what we need ourselves to be, thus we are already everything humanity needs us to be. I can't help but feel like attempting to "puzzle out" the future is a distraction from the now...which is where we should be focused.

Alluvius, while what you said is true, looking to the future is not a bad thing. Settings goals is how one grows, especially as an organization. Yes, looking to the future can be a distraction from the now, but with discipline, it wouldn't be. Imagine if nobody ever looked to the future. Think about where we would be today? Think about how far behind we would be in technology, science, health, etc.

TOTJO isn't perfect, nor will it ever be. But with a shared focus of the now, along with setting goals and ambitions, we will become so much more than we are now. Better, wiser. Sometimes, just sitting and waiting doesn't bring good fortune. You have to get up and reach for it, find ways to get to it or to have it come to you.

Whether it be an individual or an organization, settings goals and ambitions is a great thing to do. Looking to the future is not harmful, as long as you have the discipline to not let it get in the way of the now. Just my opinion.

Personally, when I began looking for such a thing as "real Jedi", it was because I was doing research on international affairs, studying my ever globalizing world, and saw a 'calling' from the international community for such an organization that could respond quickly and effectively to global tragedies, such as mass genocides and conflict situations where involvement by individual nations risked their own security.

That is what intrigued me about the Jedi as they were depicted within the Star Wars movies. Jedi in the modern world (in what might be considered a very dry and tacky description) would be a non-profit, non-governmental organization with the capacity to act as nonpartisan brokers of freedom and negotiators for the ceasing of human rights violations as per the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Jedi would develop the capacity to take immediate and direct action in dire situations such as genocide and neglected peoples of corrupt governments in the attempt to save as many lives as possible.

Being knowledgeable and understanding, Jedi also possess the skills necessary to coordinate international aid so that a complete solution is quickly and efficiently provided. Versatility, flexibility and insight along with on-the-ground-experience and knowledge are what give Jedi specifically the unique and necessary advantage to act quickly and effectively in international conflict situations. With their loyalty being to humanity and development rather than national or private interests, the Jedi will be understood as searching for a solution for all parties rather than a one sided solution.




Jedi, as I have describe, are not mass produced. They are not lightly versed or skilled. They are truly enlightened and powerful humans that happen to feel a sense of duty to their brethren. I am not saying that all Jedi must fulfill this task. Much like described in "The Jedi Path" book, there are many kinds of Jedi, and many avenue to explore and discover the Force. There is always room for expansion and development.


Today is an accumulation of all the yesterdays. Tomorrow is yet an idea, and a source of inspiration.

The Real Jedi of the future, hopefully, will be the fulfillment of Jim Channon's dream, and those of the First Earth Battallion.

The future of the Jedi is as follows:

First, Jediism will rapidly expand to fill the spiritual vacuum left behind from the scientific discrediting of all religions over the past century. This will create a spiritual renaissance and humanity will reach a new zenith of enlightenment.

Second, over time, Jedis will accumulate knowledge and wisdom collectively. This will translate into a few key areas: the ability to predict future outcomes based on past events, the ability to extend life, and the ability to control the fundamental forces of the universe.

Third, the Jedi will form an order which will give rise to chaos. By chaos I mean large pockets of unordered systems. From the chaos will emerge a singularity that seeks to restore balance between order and chaos.

Or something like that
