Can someone bring me up to speed on the new Order?

Been away for a long time. Last I checked all the old Order people were still around but the council was all new to me and a bunch of things changed(notably the IP). I'm updated back to when Jestor was on the council and VTOG had just ascended. As I recall it was a merry old crew and back then. If you young whipper-snappers would help an old man that would be great. hehe

I’m not sure I count as young, but I can answer questions if ya have them….feel free to pm me

Hey I remember you Whyte, welcome back!

Pastor Carlos here and it IS good to see you back friend. As always, take some time to look around and see what's good and what's up with the what's up. Things are way different and are in the process of changing as well so take your time and I am here if you need anything at all. May the Force be with you.

Well, I've just finished a chapter in my life and am starting a new one so I'm looking for ideas. I've done the old IP so not really interested in repeating 16hrs of Joseph Campbell, hehe. My latest goal is to defeat a narcissist in court and GTFO of the US but I'm stuck because of the court stuff.

Campbell is no longer part of the ip. That said, I have a couple questions.

1. What was your rank when you left totjo?

2. Do you want to pick up where you were or begin anew?

I'm not on the admin/ edu side of things so I can't really comment on where you'd be in terms of rank and potential next steps and all of that. But I do know that there's a brand new IP, which you'll find under the studies tab as "IP 2022" if that interests you. (No more Campbell, lol)

I'm rank-agnostic so I think I've always been a "guest"... but I remember having the ability to post to the Jediism forum which is where I got the most bang for my buck, so to speak.

It would be nice to pick up where I left off in terms of self-development. I had a really bad attitude when I first joined, severe physical disabilities, and undiagnosed high functioning autism. Since then I've fixed all that and am working on making friends and having a social life. I think Jediism ties into that by connecting me with people that I'd actually want to have as friends.

I'm not really sure how that plays out. I know men socialize by doing things together, overcoming challenges, etc. I suppose going through the Knighting process is one form of that.

What does it mean in your signature where it says "House of Jestor"?

Well finishing the ip would give you the rank of initiate, but I’ll have to dig and find your ip journal first.

And the house your referring too is how apprentices and knights trace their lineage. In my case I’m house of Orion. Meaning alexandre Orion trained my Masters masters master…..in rivers case, her lineage can be traced back to jestor

Yeah I'm pretty sure my IP journal is trash, hehe. Is Jestor still around?

I think he pops in quietly once in a while, but he's not an active presence

His focus shifted to family, which is by no means a bad thing.

I hear that. So did he go and have a bunch of kids or something?

Having found your journal, I’m sorry to tell you that you will forsure have to do the ip again brother man. Lots has changed in the past ten years. Not only has every lesson changed, but what’s expected from each lesson. Pretty much every lesson now has atleast a 500 word requirement and several are 750 words. Our training has got way more in-depth than it was it was back then. I’d also take a peek at our rules and policies as I’m sure most of them have changed in a very dramatic way.

Reguardless we are happy to have you back and hope you will decide to stay.

It means that their training falls under either jestor, or one that has trained under jestor, in this case river trained under edan, whom trained under jestor... it's a training lineage...

Haven't seen you around in some time....

Oops, sorry, I totally missed the Houses question.
Yeah, what they said, lol

Zero, I have taken notice that dear Jestor is listed with white letters in the Constellations tab indicating he has given up, but in his own house his name appears black as if he is around and doing his Jestor thingy here at the Temple.. :whistle: Could it be possible that one of the two names might need a paint brush, or am I missing some feature of this really awesome sheet? (Buy the way, it does look very awesome and sorted out!)

Jestor has popped in once or twice in the past cpl years…..but that’s about it for his involvement with totjo.

Hello Whyte Horse,

It's been a while. I hope you have been well, your current situation considered.
A lot has changed since you were last here. The IP has less to do with the Star Wars mythos and more to do with personal development. In fact, just about anything Star Wars has been stricken from just about all the training. They might as well call it Temple of the Personal development and book report order. LOL :lol:

All joking aside, many of those that were here are not any more. I try to log in at least once a week; but, sadly most of the old crew has moved on. The new people are have new ideas and are trying new things so a lot has changed.

You were a member before and the forums were set up differently, hence why you could post. You'll probably have to resubmit/submit application (if they even still do that) and become a member again.

I talk with Jestor more on the phone than I do here. He's good.

The house thing was something brought up a long time ago but we shot it down in council to avoid cliques from forming. The new guys like cliques I guess so it got instituted. No, in all seriousness, I believe it is because they are less focused on the living moment and more into the history of, or where we come from.

It seems a lot of the conversations happen on Discord now. I believe you have to get invited or permission to join. Roz would be a good one to PM about that.

If you have any more questions I'll be happy to help in any way I can
