My book Shelf

The mind is a wonderful thing. It is complex and difficult to explain and understand. We all know this. I have a few book shelf's in our home library. Some are tattered some books are rough some are new, some are comics some are magazines some are pamphlets. Lots of different styles and types in the Martinez Library. Small ones big ones Photo copied versions and even 3 ringed versions. Get it? See it?

Our minds can, CAN... be as such. Different books, subjects and versions CAN be available. Some of us forget that each and every time we learn something new "books" or volumes or just new info is placed in our "bookshelfs", aka our brain. The other day I bought a new version , a very great one!!!!!! of "as a man thinketh} james allen . Its a light book, small thin, but something happened...I had no room. I noticed a few out of place, my famiy and friends have full open use but often...usually re locate them. don't mind, anything to get them to read a dam book! any how, I had to re arrange the shelfs and make room stow a few ....IT REMINDED ME ABOUT MY MIND. some times we need a moment to organize re read stow and fix the doubles or the missing ones.
your book shelf? been at it lately? need some attention? dusting? filling? emptying? I hope this week we as a whole can take a few moments and straiten up or own before we start teaching a dewey decimal system? to preachy? lol May we find the Force where ever we seek it!

Character . It seems the more I learn the more I realize for my self it's this I am missing. The myths give examples of many possible examples . Our parents give us examples. Our peers give us examples. There are so many different examples when it comes to character that my brain can literally be lost at the search of somthing worth. The question is always asked me " so who has the right to chose those things your looking for" the answer is simple ... Me , you. Jedi character is even tougher to find friends because we are few and far between. Keep the study and the seek in your life fellow Jedi , you WILL find the character you want and... You can build that up.

So what can one person do.... Be the difference ! The NEEDED difference ... See that? Be well my Temple! May the Living Force be with y'all!

The needed example I portray is to not compete with anyone else. I simply try to be a better me than I was yesterday.
May the Living Force guide us all well

you do not lack character, master. I agree that being a Jedi can be very lonely as there are so few of us - but the brighter each of us shines in his / her community, the more of a difference we can make, even though we don't have a lot of opportunities for personal exchange and guidance. To some extent, Jediism is an individualist's religion in that we attribute great value to the personal path and to personal development, we welcome personal ideas and values. This and other younger religions are an evolutionary step - most of the widespread religions we know today came into existence out of necessity for a the community to survive. Individualism wasn't possible and was a danger to the survival of the group as a whole. Today, in modern society, that's not really true anymore - very much to the contrary: creative individuals drive innovation and lift us to a higher level. As such, it was high time that this development is also reflected in religion. And that is the case in Jediism, to a very large extent. We're a community of individual minds, rather than a faceless blob.

I agree brother. Master Carlos, you are not even close to being short on character. I look up to you for so many things. You have helped far more than I think you realize. Your character helps give me the strength I need to keep a positive attitude and keep moving forward...no matter how slow I may move at times.
May the Force be with you always Master
