I was first inspired to seek the Jedi path when I experimented w/magnetic energy just messin’ around; and I discovered it was real! A phenomenon that made me realize the potential for boundless possibilities and that I was in fact, in “The Matrix” so to speak…This mind you, occurring as I’m exploring my “witchy” side in concurrence w/my studies in spirituality..For those that think: “Hey that’s pretty blasphemous or sinful”, Let me give a little background..My path towards enlightenment began with the study of conspiracy theories such as the illuminati and the New World Order…To my chagrin; it wasn’t much of a conspiracy at all but a series of unrelenting facts and coincidences that hardly seem as such!!! Further into my studies and ever so often along the way I came across many different aspects and views of theosophy/philosophy…A recurring theme was that of the Oneness and the dogma of religion keeping us from a certain peace and/or piece of information important…Another one was the occult being purposely hidden and demonized so as to be used for only the selfish gains of those who possessed the knowledge…Well in short, I want in!! In the top tiers of my research..someone gave me a nudge in the direction of Thoth/Ma’at… I googled it.. and found a whole world of “occultism” and knowledge that not only correlated with my studies but provided several missing links that made sense of so much that i had seen and brushed off b4 or perhaps took into consideration but didn’t have the knowledge to apply or make good sense of it… past 6 months have been very illuminating to say the least…(this coincides w/my answer on training I have had…)Then as I’m into everything(as we r everything and vice/versa) I thought the illuminati conspiracy was deep~ Ha! a shallow puddle compared to the knowledge that was stolen, hidden, made to be taboo, and plain demonized for the manipulation of the world for personal gain!!! pissed me off quite frankly.. and while I didn’t completely renounce my religion spiritually (as the principles are still sumwut the same and def. valid) I did immediately declare myself a Pagan/witch and looked into all kinds of forms of divination; partly as rebellion but moreso As I had now the Knowledge of (self) Our Divinity and of the potential we have as Creator!!!i.e. becoming AWARE,thinking like THAT which we are..then I was on a blog talk radio show; and as I was already fascinated by the whole concept of Thoth(thought) and him being “thricegreat”(trinity) and mostly the unspoken name of Dhwty or Djedhi(Origin of the word diety no doubt!!) The host kept calling hers3lf a jedi and referring to listeners as jedi and council, etc.. then when I saw the spelling? lmao wow! DJEDHI!! perfect sense!! Then like clockwork I began to see the prequel trilogy of “Star Wars” phantom menace clone wars revenge of the sith.. all of ‘em in a marathon nonetheless! I watched them again for the first time as an illuminated mind and saw so much useful valid and correlating info. that i wanted to do more research on Jedi and all things Force(which ironically is all things!! lol) my research led me to google Jediism the religious movement.. I saw the link for this site and clicked in curiosity~Quasar~ a star is born. So that’s pretty much the way it went down….Once realized it was in fact the Force that i was dealing with or rather experiencing; Though it is referred to by many other names(Chi, Prana, Kundalini, God, etc.), I was most intrigued by that of the Force as I had seen Star Wars again and well who doesn’t wanna be a superhero? lol Jedi are kinda like that to me….but they are so well personified in the movies w/the emphasis on training and the Force that it gives them a more realistic and obtainable view if you will…
Part II: The View Along The Way
In defining a Jedi, I would call them heroes; but also students of God(the Force) in an epic battle for the benefit/welfare of the good in whatever setting they may find themselves..Particularly so for the modern day Jedi I would imagine; as they are in much different times and situations than that of any movies featuring Jedi. I definitely aspire to attain several aspects of the Jedi attributes including, but not limited to: their wielding/manipulation of the knowledge of the Force, the ability to be selfless at times required, their physical attributes as a warrior, their relentless pursuit of growth( in most cases), and many other mental spiritual & physical virtues they possess such as their leadership skills etc… In my society, it undoubtedly means helping my fellow man whenever possible, trying to maintain an upstanding position in society, and a general constant pursuit of knowledge and greatness…
Part III: Looking Forward
My goals for training in the way of the Jedi are as follows:
In the next 3 months I hope to have a better understanding of the knowledge of the Force and the manipulation of said knowledge..Also I plan to have an even better grasp on the arts of magick(Force), Reiki, and Yoga…Also I plan to slim down a bit more and cut up so I can be as fit as possible for whatever reason along w/taking a CPR class and possibly a lifeguard class as I’m not certified and not really confident in deep deep water)….In the next 6 months I plan to have a better realization of my powers in/knowledge of the Force. Also I want to be versed in Yoga, healing, and other things like fitness, personal mental work and developing my mental psychic abilities…In the next year I hope to be well on my way to being an Adept or possibly one already? lol (gotta shoot for the stars) Also I would love to be able to connect w/the Force w/just my mind and see things and/or know things that one wouldn’t ordinarily pick up on…Telepathy/Telekinesis I feel it should be w/in my means of attaining because after all, I am more than likely a mental intuitive so it should be up my alley…I’d like to just sit and meditate and know everything that ever was/is/to be..Wow sometimes I gotta just relax and roll a fatty as it always helps to relax me and I hardly even have to try to concentrate when I’m experimenting w/the Force..Did I mention I’m like almost a Rastafarian (short of the Selassie aspect) and a definite marijuana activist as cannabis/hemp has more uses than the peanut!! Seriously google THC; the toxicity rate is 1000:1 as opposed to cocaine at 15:1, alcohol at 10:1, and heroine at 6:1..How’s that for an “illicit drug? Why is alcohol legal and Mary Jane not? hmmm I suspect it’s another aspect of the conspiracy as not only does cannabis help in the opening of the Pineal gland(third eye chakra) which we all know “they” don’t want, but it also has hundreds of uses(besides smoking) including treatment as a pain killer, the cures/prevention of certain cancers such as prostate cancer, not to mention the dozens of products that can be made from hemp such as everything from food to clothes, sauces, spices, materials themselves such as cement!, polyurethane plastics, rubbers, it’s phenomenal…That’s neither here nor there though. I try to make good uses of the former and latter..Sorry for the tangent; sometimes I just am compelled to get a certain view/point across to clear up potential misunderstandings and the like…Plus it frees my mind a bit… Anyway my biggest obstacles to attaining my goals are time restraints( as i feel there aren’t enough hours in a day sometimes) and perhaps some family responsibilities but that shouldn’t pose too much of a problem because I’m getting better w/my time management skills… Now that I’ve written these statements I feel excited inspired and overwhelmed( yes all three and more), and I’m sure it’s due to my mania (as I’m a self diagnosed manic depressive who self medicates babee;)… Sometimes I just want to do it all or do nothing. I’m very all or nothing but I’m breaking out of that…When I’m in a manic mode I am very dedicated and somewhat obsessive in my pursuit of the interest at hand..On the Contrary when depressed I’m very un-motivated and almost indifferent(but not quite because I always feel my God-self or conscience telling me I shouldn’t be feeling that way) and that gets me more depressed unless I make a conscious effort to “snap out of it” which I try to do often ;and hope to be able to control my emotions and or act regardless of them like a true Jedi should. In time I guess, with training…Also I do overwhelm myself w/thoughts of The Force being all and all being the Force( In the Aspect of God being any and everything, experiencing all things that were/are/are to be from all perspectives/viewpoints simultaneously!) It’s just so awesome that to fathom it I feel like my head is on Overload! A state of total awareness; to be Aware fully; is to realize that you are God looking at yourself through the eyes of God and observing life of all things which are connected and God simultaneously!! lmao It’s just great… When I’m able to convey/communicate the concept clearer I will be that much happier and at peace…”til next time…
