Why Jedi?

E-mail Print PDF

Recently a friend engaged in a philosophical discussion with me asked why I would affiliate this site with Jediism, in name and in spirit. He suggested that the term "Jedi" evokes Star Wars, George Lucas, and a complex and possibly distracting set of science fiction and pop culture baggage—rightfully so. This led to some soul-searching and reflection upon the initial reasoning process that went into choosing a site domain. Perhaps it will be useful to share this perspective so that anyone who happens across this site and wonders why they are reading (hopefully) thought-provoking articles and forum discussions attached to a term that they previously saw only in Star Wars movies and fiction books will be able to review the reasoning that went into this choice of affiliation with Jediism.

And They Shall Have No Masters: The Natural World Order

E-mail Print PDF

Dying is the Old Order of fear, mystery and centripetal control. The New World Order conceived by a few elites for the rest of the world must evolve and become the Natural World Order, a more distributed and natural affair of decentralization and renaturalization. If the elites do not make room at the drawing board, then they imagine less than they should and hold Nature in poor esteem, even disregard. A natural world order is timeless. A new world order is merely ... new. And thus far, the control of the many by the few has proved poisonous to the Earth. Given our situation, it would seem that we no longer have time or cause for incrementalism.

Control and power dramas cannot describe human civilization forever.  These stories are old, repetitive and uninspired. How is a code written in stone a living code? How is ink on paper divine? For too long, we have accepted arbitrary limits in the guises of such memes as "one true religion" and "chosen people", and hierarchical spiritual control. These are forms of outsourcing that let other people think for us as we sleep our lives away, and they are counterproductive and unsustainable.

Yggdrasil Foretelling Three

E-mail Print PDF

A word from Yggdrasil, diviner of Earthmind:

 

Deep Waters on the face of the Earth:
Surface waters flow together.
The Wise Person recognizes the situation calls for joining together.
Thus he cultivates friendly relations with all.

Good fortune is possible.
Those uncertain will gradually join.
Those who join too late will meet with misfortune.

This joining is the Great Unjoining, and the birth of mature and libertine spirituality on Earth requiring no gods or intercessors: no illusions between our senses and the reality of our lives in Nature.

Yggdrasil Foretelling Four

E-mail Print PDF

A word from Yggdrasil, diviner of Earthmind:

 

What must we do with ourselves now, as the humans of Earth, in these circumstances?

 

Social Mechanism


Heaven reflects the flame of clarity:
The Wise Person analyzes the various levels and working parts of the social structure, and uses them to advantage for all.

Success if you keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.

This is a matter of Positioning—not only yourself, but others as well.
There are niches to be filled, potentials to be realized, right livelihoods to be found.
You are not building a new organization, but altering an existing infrastructure.
It's worth the effort, because it will provide union, community, and an ironclad alliance.

Aquarius

Some time ago I learned of a prophecy, given by our ancient ancestors, that spoke of the end of the world. But what really would end? That is the question. It may be that we will simply go through a dramatic change in which the world we knew would no longer exist. You can interpret it however you want, but I can say with certainty that change is coming. You won't find me shouting in the streets, "The End is Near!". No. In fact, it is believed by Christians that this change will come "like a thief in the night". Perhaps we aren't supposed to be prepared for it. Maybe there simply is no way to prepare for what's coming because it will be beyond anything we can fathom.

Newsflash

Noetic Jediism may be described as scientific universalism. While we recognize the power of positive thinking. We rely on evidence-based scientific methodologies and find faith unnecessary.
