Ask A Jedi

[MathewJames]

This is a good question, because I recently discovered that some Jedi's carry around Light Sabers to churches that exist for Jediism.

I do not do this because it isn't a thing we have to do I guess.

Sure, a non-Jedi can have one.


This is only as far as I know for light sabers. Interesting question, I have learned something from this myself

I have a green one that is the best, my blue one is about have as bright, the red ones are the weakest. They cost between $4 and $15. I use them to point at the stars. They are sold as lazer pointers, but they feel like Light Sabers, just alot smaller, but with a better ray of light.

I'd want to be a Gray Jedi. Sith and Jedi are both extremes.

I'd figure you'd want to be a multicolored (red,pink, yellow, blue, green) Jedi! With flaming hair.

I heard that the Jedi was started by a Sith who defected from the Sith teachings, and the Sith was started by a Jedi who denounced the teachings of the Jedi. Is this true?

Yes, those sites will answer your questions, if you have an unanswered one not on that site or if you want to hear an answer from me not the sites then ask if you want to.

Oh yeah, I get that. For me, that went without saying.

The focus then is on George Lucas, the writer and the wisdom(s) that he expresses (whatever their source), and not on the fictional characters themselves.

But the force and the "supernatural" abilities that the Jedi have in the movies/books are available to the Jedi now --- or in the future.

There are some of us that believe that we can learn to utilize the force and use "supernatural abilities," but from my experiences I haven't been able to choke my enemies or control other's will

 

[Boethiah]

How do you feel about the criticism based upon perceived "silliness"?

 

[ninerbuff]

Can the force be used to have sex with anyone you desire? Or at least from afar?

 

[Aar Ghuntu]

Hello from Czech republic.
I am Czech Jedi.
Jediism is no celebration of SW or Lucas. There are no lightsabers. There are no supernatural jumps or mind trick (to mask rape as sex, Ninerbuff?).
There is wisdom, continual training.

Agreed!

How do you justify sending clones to the slaughter. They are still humans and were not given a choice about whether they wish to go into combat or even be created in the first place.
I realise you claim the Jedi beliefs you hold are separate from the movies (if that's at all possible) but it does reflect on the Jedi as a whole.

One other thing. Are you apt to see things "from a certain point of veiw".

I'm not making fun. I saw Star Wars in 77 when I was 13 and have been hooked since.:bow: I still manage to realise it is just a movie. You obviously simply wish to live by a jedi code and don't believe midichlorians are real, so is jedism a kind of atheism?

I don't understand your clone question

It is separated from the movie, being that the only thing used from the movie in the religion is the word Force and Jedi. The Force was stolen by the movie, just renamed... It has been in various religions existing. Then we do not follow anything else in the movie.

what is a parcept?

 

[Straw Dog]

Ask me anything. I'll reply as soon as I can. I probably won't be here Saturday.

Do Amish Jedi condone the use of advanced technology like light sabers? Or do they draw on a line on metal swords?

what is a parcept?

Supposing you mean percept, there is no strict regulations or anything, but mostly if you get deep down into Jediism, you'll see that Jedi's mostly just let whatever happen happen because it is natural for it is within the Force. They don't try to change things to make them better for the individual self, they try to adapt to things that are naturally changed.

It's basically, in other words, the practice of being one with the Force.

Most definitely wooden light sabers.

I think it's actually precept

 

[Drax]

There are Sith. Do a search for Sith religion, and you will find them. They are not exactly as you describe. I personally think that they are closet Satanists. I was a member of one of their forums about 5 years back.

I was a member of one of their forums years back as well and ended up banned for being too dark. This was before I decided to wear the mantle of Satanist.

i apologize for the spelling error...


but i went ahead and did the research myself and found out that it's a measurement of distance equal to approximately 3.26 light years.
