Good day and beginning of the week Temple of the Jedi Order
[5:56 AM]
It is my hope that this week is clear of all distractions and drama and if its not, It is my hope you have a place or somewhere to find a bit of peace and time to do so.

There is a Creed we all unite under.

We can if we like

Good day and week Temple of the Jedi Order

May the Force be with y'all today where every y'all seek it.

I enjoy our Creed

There are MANY like it, but this one ...

is mine.

lol

Our Creed states this

I am a Jedi, an instrument of peace;

Where there is hatred I shall bring love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

I am a Jedi.

I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

The Force is with me always, for I am a Jedi.


I would like to bring to light the last part of the Creed

We as Jedi can be those who console- those who understand- those who give- those who pardon -

By THESE- there is a very much possibility of what can be. The potential is amazing.

This is a HUGE potential for any person

To be the one you console to

To be the one you get understanding from

To be the one who gives the pardons

Jedi can be the ones who console and the ones who understand and give it ... and the examples of those who pardon

The Creeds focus is this- let us be "these" things or even better....

We can be these things

This IDEA of being one of these can take a life time of seek and find

We recommend keeping things like this, a focus like this, in a Creed or in a place where you can remind yourself of your own choices and passions.

It IS waaaaaaaaay easy to keep anger and upset all the time, it happens that ANY ONE can get upset and angry at any given time REGARDLESS of level or place in life or reflection.

How does one Console?

How does one LOVE ?
How and what does ONE GIVE?

How does one Pardon?

These ideas are HUGE if you can grasp them in any part of your path in life

The HONING or the cultivation of character and skill is a thing a human can do at any given time.

Learn to console

Learn to give

Learn to pardon

It's funny but no one can officially tell you how to do these things either in your own path

No one will here

We will share what we have learned and can pass to one another.

But the bulk of what we do here is SHARE

How do you learn to console?

How do you learn to pardon? What the heck are you pardoning?

What are ya giving?

Some times it DOES help when you review your path and think on it.
[6:12 AM]
Reflection is one of the KEYS to being HUMAN and to understanding US as Jedi

Something to think about this week Jedi

Understand Love Give Pardon

For these things there is reflection

When your lost - look at a map

When you get lost in your path - look at your path (edited)

Identification is the "match" or the spark that can starts the fire of reflection (edited)

Being able to identify things in ONES path is key for any human and any Jedi

We choose to be Jedi

We also choose to be

---

different

By our ways

What do we understand- give- love -and pardon? THOSE are the million dollar questions that can keep us in a seek or a slump

Pastor Carlos
Temple of the Jedi Order

Any questions or comments or encouragements?!!!

A Jedi is unencumbered by bias or personal interest. Justice is a double-edged sword, one that protects the weak, yet also passes judgements according to a set of values. A Jedi tolerates that which is not Jedi and does not pass judgement on that which causes no harm for it is just.



What is NOT Jedi ?

Harm

Ask yourself, does it harm?

We did have a good chat and I will not post it for the sake of inviting y'all to the Monday morning chats LIVE!!!
Something to think about this week Jedi

May the Force be with y'all
Pastor Carlos

Today is a good day and a Monday at that
[6:00 AM]
Good day and May the Force be with you where ever you or Y'all are today
[6:01 AM]
We here at the Temple of the Jedi Order have a code
[6:01 AM]
its super eaasy
[6:01 AM]
The Jedi Code comes in two versions which are different ways of understanding the same teaching.

Emotion, yet Peace. There is no Emotion, there is Peace.
Ignorance, yet Knowledge. There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge.
Passion, yet Serenity. There is no Passion, there is Serenity.
Chaos, yet Harmony. There is no Chaos, there is Harmony.
Death, yet the Force. There is no Death, there is the Force.
by Greg Costikyan
[6:01 AM]
5 lines
[6:01 AM]
10 ideas
[6:01 AM]
emotion Peace
[6:01 AM]
idnorance and knowladge
[6:02 AM]
passion and serenity
[6:02 AM]
chaos and harmony
[6:02 AM]
death and the Force
[6:03 AM]
A code or Codes are used to resemble ideas or thoughts we choose
[6:03 AM]
Here we choose this code and it comes it two forms for what ever you like
[6:04 AM]
the ideas are fairly easy to understand too
[6:04 AM]
During times of emotional stress-
[6:04 AM]
we seek peace
[6:04 AM]
when we know we are ignorant of things....
[6:04 AM]
knowledge is the key (edited)
[6:05 AM]
would we rather have serenity rather than passion?
[6:05 AM]
harmony is much more than chaos
[6:05 AM]
and life and death is very much a thing we all are faced with
[6:06 AM]
A code is important to have
[6:06 AM]
it can help remind us of our choices
[6:06 AM]
it can help us HONE our path in ways we never thought possible
[6:07 AM]
how do we focus on Emotion not passion or even better ... we use the word YET
[6:08 AM]
these things are present - EMOTIONS IGNORANCE PASSION CHAOS AND DEATH-YET we can have or we can keep Peace Serenity harmony and the Force
[6:08 AM]
In this world of what is present , we can have that which we seek.
[6:08 AM]
The old adage is "Seek and you will find."
[6:09 AM]
That still rings true today regardless of your lot in life or where you give glory to
[6:09 AM]
Sometimes when we seek, we find things that are not what we were directly looking for
[6:09 AM]
but we find things in the "seek"
[6:10 AM]
When we "load" or we give our focus a bearing- when we make a choice to follow a path ... Journal it
[6:11 AM]
Journal it.
[6:11 AM]
I can not stress how important Journaling is as humans

1
[6:11 AM]
when we log or journal things we see what WE were thinking

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:11 AM
Morning all.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:11 AM
at that specific time

1
[6:12 AM]
heya !!!! morning Bru-he
[6:12 AM]
We are chatting about codes and our Jedi code in particular
[6:12 AM]
our Code can remind us of our own choices and decisions
[6:13 AM]
in life there is Emotion there is ignorance and passion chaos and death - these things are a given and they fear and take orders from no one
[6:13 AM]
they exist
[6:14 AM]
as a Code , they remind us that we are not subject to them
[6:14 AM]
If anything , and I say this half in jest and half in honesty, the Code states that we live here but we dont have to be OF it
[6:15 AM]
We see and experience these things but they dont have to hold you

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:15 AM
Good Morning Bru-He WiEph!

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:16 AM
if we have and keep peace here is the million dollar question, do emotions rule those who keep peace?
[6:16 AM]
those who give it?
[6:17 AM]
does Ignorance run knowledge and does it keep it?
[6:17 AM]
is there serenity in passion ?

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:17 AM
I love the code and I'm glad it is today's meditation
[6:17 AM]
Hello @Logan Laser Castle

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:17 AM
is there really some from of harmony in all THIS Chaos
[6:18 AM]
is the Force real or is all just death?
[6:18 AM]
The answers to these questions are in your reflections
[6:19 AM]
How do you keep or hold or seek Peace Knowledge Serenity harmony and thee Force
[6:19 AM]
thats today Idea and Meditation for this week if you like.... the how to is up to you .
[6:20 AM]
The "how to" is up to you.
[6:20 AM]
...and when I think about that, thats really the best place fro YOU and YOUR path to be, in your own hands

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:20 AM
*Personal Choice.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:20 AM
nods
[6:20 AM]
is that so bad?
[6:20 AM]
to make choices ?

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:21 AM
It's Part of The Way

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:21 AM
to choose to find a way to pass and keep peace
[6:21 AM]
to choose knowing and keep the idea that ignorance exist isnt Jedi
[6:22 AM]
Jedi are nothing special, we are never space cowboys or fly through the air- we are human
[6:22 AM]
as humans, we come together under this banner or under this ROBE
[6:23 AM]
we choose to be Jedi
[6:23 AM]
by that , we choose to be human
[6:23 AM]
no one will ever tell you HOW to find peace here

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:23 AM
Understood

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:23 AM
we can share how I found and where I find it and what things I do to keep and pass but in the end ....
[6:24 AM]
What and how you do it ... is to you, the Jedi themselves
[6:24 AM]
Further more, what type of peace are you passing and sharing and bringing?
[6:24 AM]
We can reflect on what we are passing as well
[6:25 AM]
I know and remember there was a time I got up in the mornings and had plans to ruin some ones day
[6:25 AM]
I am un balanced and upset- so shall every one else !!
[6:25 AM]
I am not that person any longer
[6:26 AM]
the choice was made to FOWARD my thinking and continue to share REAL ideas and REAL ways

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:26 AM
I never woke up being malicious, but I did tend (and still can) respond badly or defensively and be angry.
[6:26 AM]
And I don't like that feeling
[6:26 AM]
this is why I am pursuing Jediism.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:26 AM
only we as the Jedi can understand this - how WE work
[6:27 AM]
reflection is the bread and butter of the human

1
[6:27 AM]
it can help any human at any time in any path do pretty much anything
[6:28 AM]
The Star Wars sagas remind us as well as any Epic you have read or seen that life with or without us, happens
[6:28 AM]
it doesnt ask us for directions or ask Siri whats next

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:28 AM
Understood

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:28 AM
life happens
[6:29 AM]
at any given time the "Wheel of fortune" can be in any direction for US
[6:29 AM]
We could be UP on life
[6:29 AM]
or DOWN in a pit
[6:29 AM]
or on our way in or out of one
[6:30 AM]
our Codes and Doctrine can be what helps us during those times of life

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:31 AM
That's a LIFE Lesson I've learned, over the last years.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:31 AM
Do share !

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:32 AM
*Some Way, in the Course of 20 YEARS, most people I knew, passed on, or left my path

Codes are used to help remind us of our choices
[6:34 AM]
I hope this week we can remember why we choose the codes we do ... Why those codes?

To Abide by A Standard!

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:35 AM
What is it making ?

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:35 AM
I hope I can stand by the Code always

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:35 AM
as do I

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:35 AM
I better get to work. Have a great day all, thanks @Pastor Carlos and my the Force be with us all.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:36 AM
and that makes me feel good knowing that there ARE people like you AND me out there

Logan Laser Castle — Today at 6:36 AM
Bye Bru, have a good day!

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:36 AM
you have the right to understand and create your own peace
[6:36 AM]
May the Force be with you today and this week !
[6:37 AM]
so today the Code
[6:37 AM]
rather than one obvious NATURAL emotion you can have THIS one .. but how.....
[6:37 AM]
the how is to you today
[6:38 AM]
How do you keep and use and pass the Jedi idea of Peace Knowledge Serenity harmony and the Force . How do we see and seek peace rather than emotions
[6:39 AM]
the way we find and peruse knowledge is up to us, as is the way we find serenity and display Harmony.
[6:39 AM]
well, thats up to us too

Jedi teaching number Twelve

https://www.templeofthejediorder.org/doctrine-of-the-order

12. Jedi believe that love and compassion are central to their lives. We must love and care for each other as we must love and care for ourselves; by doing this we envelop all life in the positivity of our actions and thoughts. We are providers and beacons of hope.

Good morning, Temple of the Jedi Order
[6:00 AM]
May the Force be with y'all this week
[6:00 AM]
Jedi teaching number 12 says - Jedi believe that love and compassion are central to their lives. We must love and care for each other as we must love and care for ourselves; by doing this we envelop all life in the positivity of our actions and thoughts. We are providers and beacons of hope.
[6:01 AM]
We have two reminders here today
[6:01 AM]
To be a beacon of hope, love each other and yourself
[6:02 AM]
When these happen, there is a balance that can begin
[6:02 AM]
What is love then ?When we chat about teaching 12?
[6:03 AM]
12 reminds us we must have about the same time on "US" as others as well
[6:04 AM]
It is a balance that can be had by the effort
[6:04 AM]
A promise really if you really wanna call em those, the 16 promises !
[6:05 AM]
The teachings do have that potentiality to them
[6:06 AM]
I often think on the teaching like promises , if you can figure this out- you can get this.
[6:07 AM]
12 says we can be the beacons of hope where they are needed by choosing to love each other no matter what
[6:08 AM]
If we put love central for us and others, we envelope life
[6:08 AM]
What are we enveloping ?
[6:08 AM]
What does your love call to it?
[6:09 AM]
Does it shine or does it show? Is it a light of hope or so bright it can be blinding too
When things are down to it, where does your heart go?
Where does a Jedi 's heart go when we think of compassion ?
[6:12 AM]
It is my hope that by remembering Jedi teaching number 12 - our minds and hearts go to our CENTRAL place
[6:12 AM]
to our hub
[6:12 AM]
to where our hearts congregate
[6:13 AM]
By keeping or trying to, ...by trying to keep compassion and love for one another and us... THATS where the magic is.... "Compassion is encouraged."
[6:13 AM]
There is a magic in being human
[6:13 AM]
There is a potential that exist that has never died (edited)
[6:14 AM]
Humans love - it so strange but even if we as humans are hated and scorned even, the human potential will find LOVE somewhere

We even have cases where love existed in hope only

[6:15 AM]
Jedi teaching 12 states and reminds us to love one another and US
[6:16 AM]
By those two reminders, we can have the idea of being a beacon
[6:16 AM]
We say "Jedi are a beacon of hope"
[6:16 AM]
Here is how
[6:16 AM]
One way - NEVER the only way
[6:17 AM]
12. Jedi believe that love and compassion are central to their lives. We must love and care for each other as we must love and care for ourselves; by doing this we envelop all life in the positivity of our actions and thoughts. We are providers and beacons of hope.
[6:17 AM]
Jedi are providers of hope
[6:17 AM]
Can a Jedi provide hope?
[6:18 AM]
Every path is different but in the grand scheme of things, we all learn to develop our minds and body's and hearts
[6:18 AM]
In this quest- we are one
[6:18 AM]
We are connected
[6:18 AM]
We are on the same path as any other Jedi , and human for that matter
[6:19 AM]
We will NEVER teach any one how to float or FORCE CHOKE some one . Thats for Cinema
[6:19 AM]
What we will encourage one another to do is reflect
[6:20 AM]
Reflect
[6:20 AM]
On your development
[6:20 AM]
and those around you
[6:20 AM]


This IS a secret to life
[6:20 AM]


NEVER the only one with Jedi, but it is one
[6:21 AM]
If we keep love and compassion a focus and central, even for us, THATS THE MAGIC
[6:21 AM]
To give one another the hope
[6:21 AM]
To plant it
[6:21 AM]
To plant hope
[6:21 AM]
Have you planted hope lately?
[6:22 AM]
It is my hope, we as Jedi plant hope everywhere we go
[6:22 AM]
in every thing we do
[6:22 AM]
ESPECIALLY our own reflection
[6:22 AM]
its a 50/50 thing if you think about it
[6:23 AM]
Its you and others...
[6:23 AM]
Love yourself today Jedi and others
[6:23 AM]
Give away compassion like its candy and its going out of style friend
[6:24 AM]
Compassion IS going out of style
[6:24 AM]
Bring it back
[6:24 AM]
For YOU and for others
[6:24 AM]
Jedi teaching 12 reminds us we can and by doing this, THERES THAT PROMISE - we can envelope all life.
[6:25 AM]
Jedi are smart
[6:25 AM]
If you need to hear it or read it or it needs to be in your brain or heart this week then there it is. Be smart this week. I know y'all are
[6:26 AM]
Jedi ARE smart- this is my hope and reminder for this week - Jedi teaching number 12 - love and compassion can be central for a Jedi
[6:26 AM]
any time
[6:27 AM]
especially on Mondays at 6 am


May the Force be with y'all this week and every other week.
Pastor Carlos

From the Discord channel



May the Force be with y'all everywhere you will be today
[6:01 AM]
Today's Monday Morning reflection or Meditation can be found in Jedi teaching Number 16
[6:01 AM]
16. Jedi make a commitment to their cause and to humanity. Our ideals, philosophies, and practices define the belief of Jediism and we take action on this path for self-improvement and to help others. We are both the witnesses and protectors of the Jedi way by the practice of our convictions.
[6:02 AM]
What is OUR CAUSE?
[6:02 AM]
How do we commit to HUMANITY?
[6:03 AM]
We are both the witnesses and protectors of the Jedi way by the practice of our convictions.
[6:03 AM]
By OUR collective and Individual practices of our Jedi way
[6:04 AM]
By our focus toward the Force together we can find it - the Force
[6:04 AM]
by trying we find it but my trying to define it we set it free
[6:05 AM]
That doesn't seem fair some days but the word "fair" can be used do many ways for each or us as well
[6:05 AM]
so there is a ..seek ... that we all have on at times
[6:06 AM]
We as Jedi have a SEEK
[6:06 AM]
a desire
[6:06 AM]
a draw
[6:06 AM]
a calling
[6:06 AM]
a mission
[6:06 AM]
we call it many things but we can choose our own purpose
[6:07 AM]
We as Jedi MAKE a commitment to our causes AND to our own limits and humanity
[6:07 AM]
Are our causes the same? Are they ever VERBATUM what other Jedi have?
[6:07 AM]
*shakes my head
[6:07 AM]
nope
[6:08 AM]
Each of us has our own causes
[6:09 AM]
we are "allowed" - I am not sure if thats the right word but it helped me to start a path of findings that has not stopped yet
[6:09 AM]
We are allowed causes and our own humanity
[6:09 AM]
We choose them too
[6:09 AM]
Jedi 16 does say that we can be defined by those very decisions.
[6:10 AM]
"...Our ideals, philosophies, and practices define the belief of Jediism."
[6:10 AM]
What is Jediism but just that
[6:10 AM]
OUR chosen Beliefs ideal and philosophies
[6:12 AM]
and by our choice and practice of them ...we BECOME the witness to it AND Protectors of it. The Jedi way
[6:12 AM]
By our trying it out - we create it and LOOSE the possibilities (edited)
[6:13 AM]
16. Jedi make a commitment to their cause and to humanity. Our ideals, philosophies, and practices define the belief of Jediism and we take action on this path for self-improvement and to help others. We are both the witnesses and protectors of the Jedi way by the practice of our convictions.
[6:14 AM]
By the "practice" of our convictions
[6:14 AM]
I do like that
[6:15 AM]
There is a room or a space for application there. There is application portions for almost everyone in the Doctrine
[6:15 AM]
As a Pastor- I encourage every Jedi I meet to .......make a commitment to their cause and to humanity.
[6:16 AM]
What is YOUR CAUSE Jedi This week
[6:16 AM]
Whats this weeks commitment?

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:17 AM
Well, we have a huge event coming up that basically my wife and I organized together.
[6:17 AM]
And we disagree a lot whenever we work on stuff

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:17 AM
Take teaching 16 this week with what ya like in your heart mind and soul this week and see if that can't change a few ideas and actions and at least, thoughts
[6:18 AM]
good morning Bru He

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:18 AM
So it has been really trying and I really need to learn to listen to her and respect how she wants the stuff done
[6:18 AM]
And i mean, I need to do that every day anyway

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:18 AM
May you find GRACE with your project this week

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:18 AM
Yes, thank you
[6:18 AM]
I cannot wait until Saturday is over

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:18 AM
one of the BEST things I do is work with my MATE on things in life

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:18 AM
In addition, I need to have a serious convo with my boss today and I'm not looking forward to it.
[6:19 AM]
I really need to learn patience, I've been saying that forever, and a lot since I have joined TOTJO
[6:19 AM]
My cause this week will be in improving my communication with people

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:20 AM
People who take time with their LOVERS and loved ones for projects and things make so much headway in their relationships, its almost like magic to get to know some one, some times if you work a project with them you find things out you never knew
[6:21 AM]
I recommend it for couples who want a deeper relationship with others, work a project with them
[6:21 AM]
It does reveal much
[6:22 AM]
but to give time to our loved ones and our own circle is important too
[6:22 AM]
it is and CAN be one of our own causes
[6:23 AM]
I am all about my family focus some days a bit too much as my own Jedi focus too
[6:23 AM]
Between our own causes and humanity- you can have pretty much your hands full all the time
[6:24 AM]
I will always recommend Doctrine and Philosophy to any one who ever says in their mind heart or soul, Im lost.
[6:25 AM]
Make the commitment to you and to humanity
[6:25 AM]
There IS a magic in it
[6:26 AM]
The connection and relationshios we have are amazing and IN THE FORCE they are much more, well MORE
[6:26 AM]
Wanna change the world ? Your life/ View Ideas ----Add the Force to it lol

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:26 AM
I appreciate this and every Monday Meditation. Thank you @Pastor Carlos. I need to get to work.
[6:26 AM]
May the Force be with all of us today and always.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:26 AM
thank you fro joining !!!
[6:27 AM]
And may the Force be with you

Bru-He WiEph — Today at 6:27 AM
but first...coffee....

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:28 AM
I swear to you all - If you add the Force to any and the equation, Expect things to never be the same and expect things to change.
[6:28 AM]
expect "change" to be the only constant thing
[6:28 AM]
make the commitment
[6:29 AM]
tiss your right and gift to be called a Jedi in todays world
[6:30 AM]
16. Jedi make a commitment to their cause and to humanity. Our ideals, philosophies, and practices define the belief of Jediism and we take action on this path for self-improvement and to help others. We are both the witnesses and protectors of the Jedi way by the practice of our convictions.
[6:30 AM]
...and thats good to know.
[6:30 AM]
any questions or comments or encouragements or PARTY INVITATIONS???


May the Force be with y'all this week.
Pastor Carlos

Do you

6. Jedi use their skills to the best of their ability. We do not use our knowledge and skill to boast or be prideful. We are mindful of the ego and mindful of our actions, exercising wisdom and humility.

The term Jedi use is Hubris.

Look the term up and find more than one definition from more than one source or place. Ask a few Jedi as well and they will tell you it is a balance that takes work and constant focus.
I will say this, Jedi are amazing. There are many types of people in the world, and I have not found quite a band of people who come together the way Jedi do.
If YOU, as a person realized the potential of each of us, then you can realize the same potential in YOU. Imagine if every Jedi did what they were trained to do? Think about that for a second. Some of us are ALREADY trained to do things by the world and by our own jobs and careers.

6. Jedi use their skills to the best of their ability. We do not use our knowledge and skill to boast or be prideful. We are mindful of the ego and mindful of our actions, exercising wisdom and humility.
[5:44 AM]
Today is called "Do you"

Pastor Carlos
[6:00 AM]
Good morning, Jedi everywhere
[6:00 AM]
May the Force be with you
[6:00 AM]
Today is Monday and it feels like a beginning to new things
[6:01 AM]
Jedi are amazing
[6:01 AM]
I just want to throw that out there
[6:01 AM]
I have met a lot of Jedi in my small time here and I will tell you by first hand experience that there is no one quite like a Jedi
[6:02 AM]
There is a glow about them
[6:02 AM]
its this "glow" I want to chat about today
[6:02 AM]
In each of us is work. We live in 2022 and one way or another we all work at some JOB or Career or at some task we do for pay or compensation.
[6:03 AM]
Jedi get up in the morning with every one else - we drink coffee and scratch our feet and everything else in between the possibilities
[6:03 AM]
First and for most, Jedi are human
[6:04 AM]
We are human
[6:04 AM]
We are not space cowboy's or rebel pilots with one idea on our mind... WIN at any cost...
[6:05 AM]
We dont have magic powers or even levitation skills of any kind.
[6:05 AM]
We count and read and do things we were trained to do as humans.
[6:06 AM]
I have had MANY jobs and Careers in my life. I have DONE a lot. Many Jedi have as well. This does not make the Jedi - what you do or where you go.
[6:07 AM]
Your job or work can define parts of you and its those parts I would love to remind Jedi that they have.
[6:07 AM]
6. Jedi use their skills to the best of their ability. We do not use our knowledge and skill to boast or be prideful. We are mindful of the ego and mindful of our actions, exercising wisdom and humility.
[6:07 AM]
Some of us are flat out really good at what we do
[6:08 AM]
Some Jedi I have met can write and read waaaaaay better than me. This is not the focus- the focus is TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY
[6:08 AM]
What is it that YOU do?
[6:09 AM]
Most of us have had some type of training or instruction from work or a job and we as Jedi have skills we have received from the world.
[6:09 AM]

DO YOU

[6:09 AM]
Be that which you art...
[6:10 AM]
are
[6:10 AM]
Do remember Hubris
[6:11 AM]
In the Star Wars films and Cinema world it is a constant thing and theme to remember that YES YOU ARE TRAINED and YES you do take EXTRA Time to study and care... YES YOU ARE AMAZING but at the same time...
[6:12 AM]
Some of us as Jedi have found things and reflections no one will ever dare to ask themselves.
[6:13 AM]
I have seen people "called" and grown in to beautiful things all by THEIR focus on the Force.
[6:13 AM]
Each of us has MASTER potential every day
[6:13 AM]
We can master anything as Humans
[6:14 AM]
If it is in the realm of human potential, it can be done.
[6:15 AM]
Jedi - Jedi today- off screen Jedi are teachers and lawyers and politicians and Moms and Dads and friends and brothers and sisters.
[6:15 AM]
We are human
[6:15 AM]
6. Jedi use their skills to the best of their ability. We do not use our knowledge and skill to boast or be prideful. We are mindful of the ego and mindful of our actions, exercising wisdom and humility.
[6:15 AM]
Being mindful helps Hubris.
[6:16 AM]
So Jedi, what do you do....
[6:16 AM]

Do it

[6:16 AM]
Do you and do it like only YOU can.
[6:16 AM]
We have training already in things.
[6:17 AM]
Some of us have GOBBS and OODLES of certifications and degrees, JEESH, Jedi have degrees in everything now a days. Thats the human parts of us, we can DO ANYTHING, if some one else has done it.
[6:17 AM]
We as humans, can even do something new (edited)
[6:18 AM]
People do new things every day.
[6:20 AM]
It is up to the Jedi or the person to choose what the focus is for them and their own path, who better to know you than ... you and what YOU really need
[6:20 AM]
Reflection is healthy- as is healthy Hubris.
[6:22 AM]
The human potential is AMAZING- in it, dwells every experience possible. TERRIBLE things can have impacts as well as amazing. Even some terrible things are amazing at times.
[6:22 AM]
It can all depend some day on the ABILITY we have
[6:23 AM]
What are YOUR abilities?


[6:25 AM]
May the Force be with us all
Today at 6:25 AM
Remember, Jedi are smart and awesome and also po·ten·tial·ly powerful.

[6:26 AM]
Each Jedi have a unique skill set and each Jedi can learn ...anything
We can train" US" to do pretty much anything now a days- ya know.
[6:28 AM]
Be vigilant to what you train in and who you train with.
[6:28 AM]
if Jedi are smart- be wise

Doctrine can be reminders of our focus and paths
[6:29 AM]

Do you

[6:30 AM]
Train the "you"
[6:30 AM]
If you choose to be Jedi then ....DO IT
[6:31 AM]
Do YOU because there is no one quite like you. Even your Hubris... it is all yours.
[6:33 AM]
Have a balance because only YOU can know what is healthy and for you. Only YOU know what is good and what is not for your own path and mental garden... DIG IT? lol
Find your own mental garden and realize some of us have trees and forest full of skills and knowledge that has been there for years.
[6:35 AM]
It is amazing to reflect on what is present some times but do remember Hubris
[6:36 AM]
It can be up to us to organize and display our "skills" or our "training" in ways that don't blind or harm or even "HACK" or take hands off...
[6:37 AM]
It is up to us to find the HONOR in which we keep
[6:37 AM]
Doctrine and codes work

Be smart and remember that we are Jedi AND Human
[6:38 AM]
Human first
[6:39 AM]
I hope this helps a bit this week
[6:43 AM]
Happy Monday and may the Force be with Y'ALL this week

Pastor Carlos

It is surly a Monday in my own home. Today we woke groggy and tired and so very wary of this past week. Talk about stress, we are trying to buy a farm in Texas and we are on our THIRD closing extension. Needless to say, the will of the family has been tested hard and daily.

Our Maxim on Courage

Courage: To have the will.

To be a Jedi sometimes means choosing the more difficult path, the personally expensive one. A Jedi knows they must make the right choice, take the right side and that the weak they have sworn to defend often stand alone. A Jedi puts aside fear, regret, and uncertainty YET knows the difference between courage and sheer stupidity.

What is the right choice for you and who can make it? In the grand theater of life, it is YOU who can make those calls.

Do you know the difference between courage and stupidity? Do you know the difference in your path?
If we but only ask our self questions, we could have so much more than we did yesterday.

Have courage, not stupidity. Stupidity does things like NOT listen and not take heed when given it.

As I reflect on my own path, I have done some pretty stupid things. None more than that of not taking heed for what it is worth.

Each of us has choices no one else can make for us. The easiest are wardrobe and styles of hair, the not so easy is where to find character and honor and faithfulness. These things seem to be what a Jedi seek.
Have the courage to make your own choices and be the main character of your own tale. There is a magic when this happens in literature and there is a magic that happens in REAL life when it is understood as well. Have the will to do you Jedi. Remember that we CAN put aside things like FEAR, REGRET, and UNCEARTAINTY.

This simple collected truth reminds us that as we make our own decisions, we may be alone. We may be the only ones. Thats ok too. Not everyone is called to be mentors or teachers. What we are called to do is sometimes clear in our path. Other ideas we have to think and seek and wait for are not NO's. Character takes will. Will is needed. Do you have the will? What is your will derived from? Take some time this week to resolve your will. Remind yourself why you do what it is you do.

Courage: To have the will.

To be a Jedi sometimes means choosing the more difficult path, the personally expensive one. A Jedi knows they must make the right choice, take the right side and that the weak they have sworn to defend often stand alone. A Jedi puts aside fear, regret, and uncertainty yet knows the difference between courage and sheer stupidity.

If it is in the realm of human potential, it can be done. Some ones already done it. Do it or figure it out.
Something to think about this week.
Pastor Carlos

A Tenet is a principal belief. As a chosen Jedi, we have 3 here.

Focus
Knowledge
Wisdom
To know how to delight and arrange these in an order that is healthy can be done by any person on planet Earth.

Any Jedi can have a balance of observance.


Focus can help us pay attention to the things that matter to us. Where does your focus lay? Where does your attention go? Identify where it goes and why.

Knowledge- What do you do with everything you have learned so far? What is it making and bringing to your own path? What are the results of your assessing or keeping these focuses? What are they making you become? What ARE YOU becoming?

Wisdom- what is wisdom to you? How do you treat and use it?

To be quite honest, there is a huge mix of possibility and potential to just these three ideas and in this way. One watches out for the other in a way.

When used correctly, the Jedi Tenets allow us to better ourselves and overcome any obstacle. They help us improve the world around us and fulfil our purpose in life as a Jedi.

Pastor Carlos — Today at 5:59 AM
Focus
[5:59 AM]
Knowledge (edited)
[5:59 AM]
Wisdom
[6:00 AM]
Good morning and May the Force be with you were ever you are today
[6:01 AM]
There are three ideas in a basket or together I would love to remind y'all about
[6:02 AM]
When kept together, these three ideas can be as IRON that sharpens other Iron
[6:02 AM]
Tenets are a basic and principal belief
[6:03 AM]
The BACIS idea is this- what you look at, when you read- what you listen to or watch or put in our hearts and minds and souls - go in
[6:04 AM]
There is an old OLD computer term called G.I.G.O. or Garbage in, Garbage out
[6:04 AM]
It can remind us that we are the way we are because of our FOCUS
[6:04 AM]
Where OUR attention goes
[6:05 AM]
What we put in will come out.
[6:05 AM]
This applies to every Jedi as well as every human
[6:06 AM]
When I realized this for my own self, I did realize I was some days, putting a snake in a box and shaking it all day then getting mad because the snake struck. I will start with music.
[6:07 AM]
I have kids and some of the songs at night I used to sing to them were...not kid friendly and the content of the ideas were not what I really wanted to pass
[6:07 AM]
It was when I paid a bit more attention to what songs I choose that made the tone of things change
[6:08 AM]
We can create or find a healthy balance with anything we come in contact with
[6:08 AM]
IT TAKES FOCUS
[6:08 AM]
after that ... then what- after we find the things we would like to change then what?
[6:09 AM]
Knowledge
[6:09 AM]
There can come a time when we AQUIRE more or what we do need
[6:10 AM]
The Knowledge part of the TENTS reminds us we must seek
[6:10 AM]
TURN YOUR SEEK ON!
[6:10 AM]
Look for things
[6:10 AM]
find them
[6:10 AM]
Find the things you need
[6:10 AM]
Know... what you need and what you DONT need
[6:11 AM]
What do I do with everything I have learned? Here is a good question for every Jedi and human....
[6:11 AM]
Do you think you will ever know it all ?
[6:12 AM]
Wisdom comes in many forms with the same info
[6:12 AM]
Same ideas and same truths, just different applications sometimes.
[6:12 AM]
Do you think we will ever know everything and how everyone does it?
[6:13 AM]
hmm
[6:14 AM]
Is there wisdom in the same truths and in the same ideas that everyone else has? Yes, is all of it for YOU ...
[6:14 AM]
well , no
[6:14 AM]
but that's the kicker... to figure out which is which
[6:15 AM]
A seek like that, can last TWO lifetimes.

The seek of "finding" or " search " is a good idea
[6:19 AM]
Turn the seek on and see what the three Tenets bring you
[6:19 AM]
Keep Focus Knowledge and Wisdom as guides and you can not go far or wrong
[6:20 AM]
These can be three TINY SET screws that can set sooooooooo much into motion
[6:21 AM]
By adjusting them and the ideas they represent, you can fill books and homes and LIBRARYS full of experiences and life changing times.
[6:22 AM]
The potentials are exponential
[6:23 AM]
If it helps, think of these three ideas as GATES
[6:23 AM]
doors
[6:23 AM]
windows
[6:23 AM]
openings to something else (edited)
[6:24 AM]
In a rut or stuck?
[6:24 AM]
Can not see clearly or just got a bit confused or even turned over??? Have you lost your way? (edited)
[6:25 AM]
Focus
[6:25 AM]
Knowledge (edited)
[6:25 AM]
Wisdom
[6:25 AM]
They are there for reminders and potentials to give us hope
[6:26 AM]
There is hope in knowing YOU are the one in charge of your path.
[6:26 AM]
One of the many ways we do this is self-reflection
[6:26 AM]
Remember who you are
[6:27 AM]
Remember HOW you are, you.
[6:28 AM]
Remember YOU can choose your Focus and your own Knowledge to keep and where you get your Wisdom from.
[6:28 AM]
How you display- what's inside, is who you are.
[6:29 AM]
See how that works?
[6:31 AM]
I hope this helps
[6:31 AM]
I will be around for a bit off and on today, but I WILL BE CHECKING for those who have need.
[6:32 AM]
The CONTACT THE CLERGY is up and running so if anyone has need or if any Clergy member would like to help just see me any time. Its free and painless and can be done anywhere lol

Pastor Carlos

Knight Ashria and myself just had a conversation about this very thing the other day. We as people can get lost and see our inner compus going in circles. The forest is lost through the trees so to speak. Those are the times that require us to just stop and just breathe, rethink where we are and where it is we are heading. Just as a general PSA, you(we) are not alone...seek out that light in the darkness, call to it, in that time of need you will find it.

Do you know when to fight and when NOT to fight?

We all develop in the same way. There may be difference in timing and who takes us through it, and where it all happens but, for the most part, we develop as humans in a similar way. It DOES seem that this world often "promotes" confrontation and arguments.

Do you know when it's time for action or non-action?

Knowing the difference between action and non-action can help one find the balance between healthy and unhealthy some days.
The goal here in a place like this is to reflect in a healthy way.

Conflict: To know when to fight.

A Jedi knows the conflicting nature of the Force but they also know its peace and serenity. A Jedi does not blindly enter into conflict and strives to do so for the greater good.

Intervention: To know when not to act.

A Jedi knows how inaction can have as great an impact as action and how some of the greatest lessons are self-taught. To be a victor is also taking that victory from those you protect. A Jedi intervenes only when a Jedi's intervention is required.


These are the last two in the Maxims. The last one states that through all of the seek of these things we can have a Harmony in it and during our seek.

I am a natural fighter and a DO-er. I will never quit or even fail if I fail the first time. I expect it some days.
I know I will fail some days and that is ok too.

Some days, we can reflect and see what we may have missed in the past. This is one of the JOYS of reflections and Journaling... you - YOU will find things YOU missed or have of importance.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST things I have done in my own reflections is to STEP back a bit. To turn around in your own path is to sometimes be able to see what you're doing and how you're doing it.

To know... means you found out a few things so, what do you find out?

Know when to fight and when ... NOT TO FIGHT.

Just a weekly reminder from our doctrine that if we stop and reflect, we can see a few things MORE.

If your lost, find your Doctrine and Philosophy and brush up on it.
May the Force be with y'all
Pastor Carlos

Happy Monday and beginning of the week.

Jedi Teaching number Nine says:

9. Jedi have integrity. We are authentic to what we believe and are open, honest and true to our purpose and our minds. We remove all masks to reveal ourselves as courageous and noble of heart. We do not hide from fear of damage to our image because we know that our image cannot be blemished from the words and actions of others.


When no one is looking, when no one is around, those are sometimes the time for action. A Jedi has HONOR but where they get it from is up to them. Where does your INTEGRITY come from? When no one is around, how do you act? Better still, where does your mind, heart, and soul go when your alone? What do you RETURN to? Knowing WHAT you believe and reminding yourself of your own causes can be a very much needed thing for some. Sometimes, I need to be reminded of who I love and WHY. It is not that I forget, or they do not mean that much to me. There are times we as humans get occupied with life. Life WILL demand our attention. It is good and HEALTHY to remember why you do things and why your serve or chose to act the way we do. Our Doctrine belongs to the human and the Jedi. We can keep things in our hearts and minds.
Our INTEGRITY comes in when no one can be around. As Jedi, we choose where we get our HONOR from. That is a human thing too. You as a human have every right to have a balance of your own and to have a brand or a goal of HONOR to display or represent. It is not a mask if you represent the idea. Just saying. That is also the idea too and reminder, removing of masks can identify what's really there.

So - what is really there? Where does your INTEGRITY and HONOR come from and what do they entail? That's the million-dollar question.

9. Jedi have integrity. We are authentic to what we believe and are open, honest and true to our purpose and our minds. We remove all masks to reveal ourselves as courageous and noble of heart. We do not hide from fear of damage to our image because we know that our image cannot be blemished from the words and actions of others.

Hope this helps this week.
May the Force be with you
Pastor Carlos

Greed

One of the biggest OBSTICLES for any Jedi and HUAMN is our own Greed.


To manage Greed- What does a Jedi do and how do you combat it? Is greed ok or is it something we can be aware of.

Selfless can be an opposite of greedy. In fact, this is one of the universal ideas we share with one another.

Anakin:
Mom, you said that the biggest problem in the universe is no one helps each other."
Phantom Menace

Our paths are our own. The level we choose to participate is always up to us.
There is a very real mood in the word. It is so common that we understand it to be almost a natural thing. Un touched, our greed can naturally grow in ways we did not intend it to.

One remedy for this human factor is The Selfless.
In my own path, I have different ways to do this. One is in my mind; I think about others or TRY to.

In our 16 teachings- the theme is almost you and others. I want to encourage every JEDI to have and evaluate your Codes, Maxims, Teachings, Philosophy and Doctrine.

What does your Selfless path look like? This week, do you need a RESET? Re - set yourself. Check your path and see how much GREED had a grip on things. THINGS change when you change the flow. Change the flow.

Greed VS. Selflessness



GO!


Have a great week and may the Force be with Y'all
Pastor Carlos

Very nice. Gives something to ponder and meditate about.

Harmony: To be connected to the Force.

A Jedi seeks to live in harmony with the Force, for that is the reason to be a Jedi. To better understand its ways, to better know one's place within it.

Good day and good Monday Jedi everywhere.

Jedi have this BALANCE that is only, THEM. Yoda said "Do or do not, there is no try. " In the thick of things is where we find life. To be in the Force is to be alive. Our own harmony comes from our own "seek. " This week, think on this if you like ..
Where would you be without the "seek" of the Force? What would YOU be seeking? Balance can be a vital part of our path. We can MAKE it or find it.

As Jedi, there is a peace that comes from this seek. No one is perfect and no one ever will be. That's not the goal. What is?

Harmony

This week think about that if you like. We can create discord and frustration just the same way we make peace- love- pardon- faith-hope-light- and joy. How? By doing it. Give it. You know if you do - it does come back and it does make a difference. Keep and give what you need... think about that this week.
May the Force be with y'all this week
Pastor Carlos

Jedi teaching number eight states this...

8. Jedi are patient. We work on training ourselves not to precipitate events around us. We know that becoming a Jedi is long and hard and requires rigorous dedication and commitment. Jedi train to act with a conscientious state of calmness.

There is a calmness that can be had. After time, there is a peace that dwells in what YOU do.

We are reminded of the long and time-consuming effort it takes to develop our paths. Rarely does a path happen overnight or "INSTANTLY." To live a Jedi life, one must choose to want to be a Jedi, after that- PICK a Doctrine to study, HOPEFULLY, it's your own.

To act in a state of calmness or to be in one, requires time and effort. Active effort every day. What type of effort are you putting in or are we peddling? Is it actual calm? How do we share it? How do we find it? What does it look like? Is an example enough?

We have reached the maximum extent of our ability to try to buy a house. We are out of money, effort and will. The housing market is so mixed up and currently there are 1.7 million Veterans trying to move to Texas at the same time we were. Yet, in the mix of LIFE- winter showed up with or without a place to stay. We did find a rental property and now we are in a forward motion.

We got eggs in the incubator yesterday. We just got internet up and running at the rental farm.

Life is always full. There is no doubt of that. Being a Jedi DOES NOT MAKE IT EASIER. Please don't think we preach and teach happiness and lollipops, all the time. What we do preach and teach is the BOON of patience and character.
There is a peace in trying and life. There is a peace you can have in what we think is failure and sometimes, failure isn't failure. Sometimes, we meet our path or partners in the THICK of things or in the pits of life.
See the movie Solo.
Stay your course and keep on. Life will happen. Count on it. Count on your own study and ideas as well. Fall on your Doctrine whether it be ours or your own culture (s) in your path.

[6:21 AM]
Calmness begets itself always
[6:21 AM]
inside
[6:22 AM]
It IS contagious
[6:22 AM]
go figure hu, being is a actual present state of calm DOES calm those around us
[6:22 AM]
What a ripple to send today hu???
[6:23 AM]
so this week - if you like - send the calm
[6:23 AM]
be the calm
[6:23 AM]
It does require time and effort
[6:23 AM]
but it is worth it at EVERY and Any level
[6:24 AM]
8. Jedi are patient. We work on training ourselves not to precipitate events around us. We know that becoming a Jedi is long and hard and requires rigorous dedication and commitment. Jedi train to act with a conscientious state of calmness.

2. Jedi maintain a clear mind; which can be achieved through meditation and contemplation. Our minds can become unduly troubled and concerned with the happenings of the world. We must work on overcoming our individual issues through training and diligence.


Good day and Time zone and happy Monday Temple of the Jedi Order.

Jedi Teaching number two states we can have a clear mind. This year seems to be one too many people and not enough hours in the day, for me. I do have a feeling like this next year will go by just as fast. There is always plenty to do on a farm and in our paths, there are many things we can pay attention to. During this holiday season I want to remind every Jedi that we can reach the point of LIMIT. Every person has a limit and every love has one too. Things will go on in the world and sometimes we can feel attached to everything we see.

To MAINTAIN means to have and actively work on. Stopping to think and meditate helps. There is so much benefit from it that I can encourage everyone to start or get a routine down. I recommend morning times and Mondays but that's me. Have a place you can go to think. Have it. When you do, use it. Set aside time and make the effort. It helps. Place what YOU need there. Part of our own "TRAINING" is finding our own balances in how we schedule our own lives. It is up to us some days the path or paths we take. It is up to us the flow we want to take.
Some days I wake up thirsty.
This morning there was BIG RED in my fridge. Big Red is a cream soda that's red made in Texas. It is a super sweet favorite of mine. I can drink it flat or cold or even just room temperature. It is hard to find in the state of Illinois. Possible. I have found two places here that sells it so I stocked up for the holidays. Knowing that we have limits can help create a flow that recharges us. I stay stocked on a few things but as a farm we have to buy in bulk. The same can be said for our own personal paths. A Knight is sometimes alone in their search and Jedi usually stand alone in their seek. But in the pursuit of character and path, we find that we all go through the same development.

Create a place for you that you can go to when you need it. Pick those things that you want to learn. Choose the path you go. Have it handy. Some days you may need it, some days you may not but you can have it ready when you are in need. Place your favorite books, reads or authors at your fingertips.

It helps.

We as Jedi MUST WORK on overcoming our individual issues. Train and be diligent.

Wisdom is the sound application of accrued knowledge and experience through patient, good judgment.

How do Jedi IMPROVE the world around them?

By doing what they are seeking. By applying the things they learned in their own path. To better the world, better yourself. This leaves better people.

ASK
Where is my focus-Where do I get my knowledge from- What do I have for wisdom?

True Self Reflection can reveal many things. It can PRUNE us. We AQUIRE knowledge from our own paths. SOUND APLICATION is one of the things in our own balance we have to figure out.

THERE IS THE KICKER!


How do we apply it to make us Jedi?

By applying it soundly. One way is to find those who have tried and are doing that which you seek. Find those who have WHO HAVE a balance. That was the difference in Jedi in the CINEMA verses non Cinematic Jedi. Mentors can be anyone on any path of life who have been there and done that and have a active balance. I feel bad when I hear those who say, " Do as I say, not as I do." Drives me crazy but it is possible too. The SYMBOLISM is Mentors. Find your Yodas. Seek them out. Talk to your ELDERS. I guarantee they are waiting for you and they have more likely been there the whole time and know a wee bit more of what we do.

Make contact with those around you, not just people but find the teachers and those who have what we seek.

Hope this helps this week
Pastor Carlos
There are 3 HUBS or ideas we can gravitate with that can create a balance like no other
[6:05 AM]
reflect on our focus
[6:06 AM]
reflect on our knowledge and where we get it from
[6:06 AM]
reflect on what we call wisdom (edited)
[6:07 AM]
This can help to improve the world around us
[6:07 AM]
by creating a balance on our own
[6:07 AM]
What is your focus today and this week ?
[6:08 AM]
Where does your heart mind and soul go on a Monday ?
[6:08 AM]
or any day
[6:08 AM]
It is important to realize we can SET our focus some days
[6:09 AM]
Some meditations can be on a subject or two
[6:09 AM]
We do not always have to hope something comes out from out of the blue
[6:09 AM]
Find those and that which you seek
[6:10 AM]
There are some ideas and others I honestly do not want to be like
[6:10 AM]
Some are just not healthy for me and my own family circles
[6:11 AM]
then there are some ideas that shine like gold or the sun
[6:11 AM]
THOSE are the ones I find Elders for
[6:11 AM]
ELDERS are the most talkative people in the world

1
[6:12 AM]
They will stop what they are doing just so you can know something, its kinna their thing.
[6:12 AM]
Mentors are the same way
[6:13 AM]
I want to encourage those who need a ELDER or a Mentor to find one in your path.
[6:13 AM]
They are normally seated or waiting. This week, if you like, find em
[6:13 AM]
Notice in the myths and stories we share - where they are at.
[6:14 AM]
Most of the time they are right in front of us
[6:14 AM]
or next to us
[6:14 AM]
or in IT with us
[6:14 AM]
Mentors come in every shape and size and LEVEL too
[6:14 AM]
Some do one thing and some do many
[6:15 AM]
The idea is to notice that they have ALWAYS been there
[6:15 AM]
for you
[6:15 AM]
when YOU are ready
[6:16 AM]
It is the old idea when the student is ready - the teacher appears
[6:16 AM]
In reality , when we make the decision to see it, we can not UN SEE em any more
[6:17 AM]
to better the world around us- seek thee out a mentor
[6:17 AM]
" seek out Philoctetes."
[6:18 AM]
by this action, the seed finds the sun
[6:18 AM]
we find what we seek
[6:18 AM]
we find people who have who HAVE a active balance or a realistic application of things
[6:19 AM]
we can hunt and gather and seek and find all day and gain wisdom and knowledge till we run out of mental space and book shelfs...
[6:20 AM]
but it is those who have" been there and done that " that can share just a bit more
[6:20 AM]
We have three ideas called Tenets
[6:21 AM]
FOCUS KNOWLEDGE WISDOM (edited)
[6:22 AM]
When used correctly, the Jedi Tenets allow us to better ourselves and overcome any obstacle. They help us improve the world around us and fulfil our purpose in life as a Jedi.
[6:22 AM]
If for any reason you need help or reflection, call on a mentor or a elder

not just any one... Help- I need sombody- help , not just anybody , help you know i need some...heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp...


[6:24 AM]
morning and good day Bru HE WiEph
[6:24 AM]
and see , so we find reminders or those we trust to remind us of our focus and our knowledge and wisdom.
[6:25 AM]
eventually the student DOES become the mentor
[6:25 AM]
its a part of life and the circle of life
[6:25 AM]
We share with one another no matter the cause some days
[6:26 AM]
What we share...
[6:26 AM]
ahhhh
[6:27 AM]
this is a million dollar question
[6:27 AM]
What are we seeking?
[6:27 AM]
One of the things I have learned in my own path and in my own studies is that the sooner we find mentors,the better
[6:28 AM]
not just any mentor
[6:28 AM]
The right one for us
[6:28 AM]
That part is up to you
[6:28 AM]
Know what you seek Jedi
[6:28 AM]
it is possible and it is possible to find a mentor at ANY part of life. For almost anything
[6:29 AM]
The human potential is still alive and kicking and just as amazing as it was in the past.
[6:29 AM]
So too can we find that which we seek
[6:30 AM]
Know what your looking for friends and Jedi
[6:30 AM]
to make the world better- better you
[6:30 AM]
upgrade your mentors
[6:30 AM]
upgrade your focus
[6:31 AM]
upgrade your knowledge
[6:31 AM]
upgrade your wisdom
[6:31 AM]
by finding better mentors
[6:31 AM]
by finding better Myths
[6:32 AM]
I said it -Thank you so much - May the Force be with y'all this week

To have a Doctrine and Philosophy is for when you need it. It can be like Honor or Devotion. We can say we have it but when push comes to shove, how do the Jedi act? We are not Cinematic Jedi by any means and although our symbols and honor have the same flow, there is a difference between Cinematic Jedi and Jedi today.

Kata is a key factor to some forms. Your participation depends on your willingness to reflect as far as you like. Why do we have a Doctrine and why do we teach it so freely? It is for the Jedi. It is our Kata or our flow. Memorize your Doctrine and apply it as you see fit. Use it. This is ONE way to make changes. Change what's in your mind by placing good Philosophy and Doctrine there. Examine it before you put it in your heart. Will you really use or need it?

We as Jedi do not forget our Oaths and word.


Todays is a reminder that we need Doctrine and Philosophy in our lives

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:02 AM
When things get out of sort or when we need to be reminded of our choice or flow or path we have.....
[6:02 AM]
Where do we go?
[6:03 AM]
Is there a fountain of RECHARGE some where ?
[6:03 AM]
The answer is yes
[6:03 AM]
Both HAVING and using a Doctrine and a set of Philosophy can help us figure our life's out
[6:04 AM]
When we get lost we need a map or a guide
[6:04 AM]
our chosen "rules" if you like can be our Doctrine we have and how we philosophy
[6:05 AM]
our Oasis can be when we study it or remind each other or even our own reminders of what we want and how we want to act
[6:05 AM]
Life gets tough
[6:05 AM]
fall on YOUR OWN philosophy's
[6:06 AM]
when we fall, we can fall on our own Doctrine
[6:06 AM]
its a nice pillow like ideas we know and heres the kicker too....
[6:06 AM]
we can have a few or several
[6:06 AM]
The contradictions only come when we decide they contradict.
[6:07 AM]
I want to encourage every Jedi here and who will be here to guard your heart and your philosophy and doctrine.
[6:07 AM]
first - find them
[6:07 AM]
lol
[6:07 AM]
then study em
[6:07 AM]
then apply them
[6:07 AM]
them share them
[6:08 AM]
It is not as easy as it sounds
[6:08 AM]
Jedi believe In the Force, and in the inherent worth of all life within it. (edited)
[6:09 AM]
but do we ???
[6:09 AM]
How do we treat things and others with a INHERENT worth?
[6:09 AM]
WHEN .....do we act like that?
[6:09 AM]
all these questions are up to US
[6:10 AM]
but by having Doctrine in place, we have reminders of our focus.
[6:10 AM]
I will be honest, it is not in my nature to be kind, yet here we are early in the morning on a Monday morning
[6:11 AM]
The things we study and learn, and some times teach, can make us
[6:11 AM]
it is sooooo important to know what your reading and listening to and how it can influence you in your Jedi path
[6:12 AM]
It is EQUALLY as important to be careful and mindful of where we get our MYTH from too
[6:13 AM]
As a point of study, I often tell people that in every Myth we find, there is a ORIGIN story from where it hails and the original story itself can be found and validated
[6:13 AM]
Some storys we pass are made up
[6:13 AM]
thats the truth , but that doesn't mean they are NOT for edification.
[6:14 AM]
Some MYTHS are for RETAIL only
[6:14 AM]
The Star Wars is no exception
[6:15 AM]
So i want to encourage Jedi today to VALIDATE your MYTHS and your Doctrine and Philosophy
[6:15 AM]
Because those are things we need
[6:16 AM]
How can we tell our self which steps to take or what type of things to seek if we do not know ourselves?
[6:16 AM]
We can and we will
[6:16 AM]
What do you fall on when you need it?
[6:16 AM]
Is it real or fake ?
[6:16 AM]
is it a toy or a symbol?
[6:17 AM]
Is being a Jedi a something to do or a honest seek?
[6:18 AM]
boredom comes from well, being bored
[6:18 AM]
By examining our own ideas and ways, we can check to see what type of path we are on
[6:18 AM]
What type of path are we on as Jedi ?
[6:19 AM]
Do we share monomyth or memorabilia?
[6:20 AM]
Something to think about this week and during the Holidays if you like. What do I have and what is it really making me?
[6:21 AM]
As Jedi - what are or is your doctrine (s) making you ?
[6:21 AM]
What are your katas and your every day practices?
[6:21 AM]
are they real?
[6:26 AM]
My hope is we grow together
[6:26 AM]
maybe in the same ideas as well
[6:27 AM]
I am here all day and just a click away
The idea is to seek that which we need
[6:43 AM]
I and my family circle us cooking terms so we call it- boiling it down or just the potatoes and gravy

[6:43 AM]
but you can find good food and good bread if you seek out the originals
[6:44 AM]
This is why Elders, REAL Elders are needed in the world
[6:45 AM]
Real Mentors who have actually been there and done it and have lessons ad paths and ways and are open to new things.
[6:45 AM]
Do as I say and not as I do never really works for me or any one really asking
[6:46 AM]
There is mumbo jumbo out there
[6:46 AM]
Jedi mumbo jumbo too
[6:48 AM]
I hope this helps this week
[6:48 AM]
seek out that which you need and that which helps
[6:48 AM]
and VALIDATE
[6:49 AM]
every Myth has a origin of culture and use
[6:49 AM]
YOU WILL FIND ELDERS at the end of every useful and passed myth

Happy seeking Jedi everywhere and May the Force be with you
Pastor Carlos

It is said a Knight is known by the codes they keep.

Good time zone and good day Jedi everywhere.

Our Code and Codes we choose say something about us. Some Codes are not penned or even recited but are considered known. See, the thing about a Code is it is it can be a reference point to fall back on. Codes can be reminders of what we choose as well. Wehn life gets full and we lose our path, fall on a Code or recite one. Repeat it out loud. SAY IT. Some days, the only way we will know things is if we say them or remember that we DID choose to be like this or like that. Our Codes can create a central hub of ideas we can count on. Heres the dilly yo, can you count on your Code(s)?
Are the Codes we as Jedi keep, worthy? That would be up to you but here is a kicker, do they actually work?

When you need them, are they there for you and do they lift you up or always break you down? Does your Code(s) make you what you are seeking? Did you choose the right one?

We share a creed here.,

I am a Jedi, an instrument of peace; are we ?

Where there is hatred I shall bring love; is there?
Where there is injury, pardon; do we?
Where there is doubt, faith; is there?
Where there is despair, hope; where is the hope?
Where there is darkness, light; where does the light come from?
And where there is sadness, joy. What kind of joy are you talking about ?

I am a Jedi.

I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console; How do we do that?
To be understood as to understand; but every one wants to be the GURU...
To be loved as to love; What's LOVE got to do with it?
For it is in giving that we receive; What do we give or what are we giving?
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; How is forgiveness relevant?
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. I have to sacrifice???

The Force is with me always, for I am a Jedi.


These are the ideas we want others to find out for themselves. You can and you will when it is time.

Are Our Codes ours?
Something to think about this week if you like, Happy holidays and happy week this week till the New Year!!!!!

May the end of this year be filled with ending and new beginnings
Pastor Carlos

Jedi Believe
In the Force, and in the inherent worth of all life within it.
In the sanctity of the human person.

To sanctify someone or something is to set that person or thing apart for the use intended by its designer.

How do we sanctify the HUMAN PERSON?

How do we set people aside for better ? Why should we? What's the benefit or what is the YIELD of doing this?

I have a upset stomach from all my celebrations lol Todays message and meditation is INHERENT WORTH

how do you give such a EQUAL mark to one another ?

How do we as Jedi believe in the Force and the sanctity of life and everything in it

This is a very big hug or idea we can hand out and even recite

I think of INHERENT WORTH as a hug some days lol a hug fro the people

but in the human potential of things- we are all Inherently equal

this pisses some people off

It used to piss me off I will tell you that

Every one has the SAME potential

is that upsetting? I was brought up in ways that actually are very selfish and regret others getting ahead and finding things out thought me.

If it wasn't me first then it was I was last and I couldn't have that

This is natural and even a part of our human development

We as Jedi make it a habit and a area of focus that we can change this

As Jedi, and as humans, we change change any habit or routine we so desire

We can choose any from or choose any Elder we like

We can grow in the same pants we do not grow in

The sanctity of all life within in the Force is a idea that we are all connected by so much more than just presence

and we acknowledge that and honor that relationship

WHAT DO WE HONOR ?

If you reflect and ask yourself this question- I do hope it reviles the truth. I hope you can see what your time and efforts go to and where you see things as well, different.

Antares —
Good morning temple

Pastor Carlos —
Place a few things in the "SACTIFYY PILE LOL "

vampiric-conure —
Goooood TmOrning

Morning**

Pastor Carlos — Today at 6:12 AM
morning Antares

we are chatting about SANTITY and the human potential

Sanctifying the Human

lol

The BIGGEST equal mark or the most we can do for one another is remember that we are all EQUAL

Tx_druid —
Morning y'all



Pastor Carlos —
and not equal in what I have you have but much bigger

vampiric-conure —
Morn'n Druid

Pastor Carlos —
hey ya Tex!

vampiric-conure —
Our worth as humans is equal



Pastor Carlos —
the idea today is to give the Inherent- "ability" to everyone

not to say you are EQUAL to MY action, nope to say you have the ability to rise above it !

You have the ability to find A BALANCE and one all on your own

not mine

lol but we can share mine anytime

The equal mark is the HARDEST to give another human

it gives the ability to leave those who share it ...behind

Can you or can we as Jedi tell one another "Please learn more than me or do more than me or find out more than me?"

Its a huge ego drop

not to mention it is the OPOSITE of what most teach in the world full of ME FIRST

How about "Here is a good idea"

the Human potential is amazing

It dwells in us EVERY ONE OF US equally

As Jedi, we acknowledge this

We even Believe in it

Jedi Believe
In the Force, and in the inherent worth of all life within it

How do we sanctify the HUMAN PERSON?

There are a number of ways to do this

but the number one idea is to believe it is so

We are inherent in our worth

the potential is present

Have you seen it or experienced the human potential ?

This is where we can be this week as we go through our New Year and more time

Have we experienced the potential of humanity for our own path?
Are we giving it away? and how?

I DO hope this helps this week

Jedi Believe
In the Force, and in the inherent worth of all life within it.
In the sanctity of the human person.

Understanding and apply this to our paths can change the results every tim

EVERY TIME

It is a trust thing too so do not think that its a switch you just turn on like a light - nope

Giving people the INHERENT worth of humanity also means they and WE can poop our socks just as well as the next person or fail hard.

So be carful the POTENTIAL you give too

be smart

Jedi are smart

Be wise

Know we all hold the same potential

we do

does that change things this week?

I hope so

May the Force be with you this week and at the beginning of the year

I am a click away and I am available on may platforms so feel free to take advantage of that too lol
