The Next Step

feeds@yuku.com (Jax Meridian) — Mon, 25 May 2009 06:24:23 GMT

The Jedi have been active in training, in discussion, and in studying the Force on the web and in their private lives for years. What is the next step? Should there be a next step? Should the Jedi step out from the cyber world and enter the "real" world? If we do, what will be our methods, obligations, etc.?
I give here my humble opinion for your consideration and discussion.
We have no choice. Eventually, the Jedi will have to step out into the real world and take...

Jedi's Evolutions

feeds@yuku.com (astasophi) — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 14:34:31 GMT

When any person decides to begin on a new spiritual/philosophical/lifestyle path - there is the excitement of discovery and learning. There is the adopting of a new identity to an extent. There is also finding a place among like others - and discussing similarities and differences.

After the intitial rush of discovery, often people begin to realize that there are...

Okay fair warning before you click the link below. I know Politics are a major sore point for most people when it comes to discussing them. I won't be trying to sway you one way or the other. I'm simply curious what everyone thinks about this. Think it's hype? Is it real? (I could not find any records of such a case. But I only did a very quick search so that doesn't mean there are none)

Question to the Masses

feeds@yuku.com (Setanaoko) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:24:11 GMT

There are many orders that want to see unification in the Jedi Community, that way those who come onto the Jedi Path do not get sucked in by "RP Jedi Realists".

In an attempt to find out exactly what it is that we believe Jedi should be/do, I am trying to get up a team of people to ask the communities what guidelines the Jedi Community(should we ever be united) follow.

Is it at all possible that we could start that very...

Holocaust "Theory"

feeds@yuku.com (JediMatt1000) — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:18:28 GMT

Did you know that some schools have now elected to teach their students that the Holocaust was just a "Theory"? There are several school boards here in Arizona that have come to the conclusion that they should just present this as just a theory. Can you believe this? It really does anger me when the evidence is there on the table and school board members can't come to a rational conclusion on how to present an article from history as fact, rather than fiction. My kid is going to...

Jedi or Jedi Knight...

I have been going-around the Jedi sites, old and new, researchings writings for the "Jedi Central Library" project I am beginning.

This post is off-topic from that project - but I noticed for...

I hear voices

feeds@yuku.com (Skywatcher9) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 05:27:31 GMT

I talk to myself, reflecting about events of my life and attitudes of people I see. I hear voice telling me what to do, when I am in doubt. I know I must follow my heart not my mind.

Yes, Johnny there is a dark side to the force.

Have just finished reading the book "Exhile" from the Legacy of the Force series. In the book Ben Skywalker gets tricked into going to the Sith homeworld because Jacen and Luminya decide to test him. He keeps hearing voices coming from the dark side when he is trying to sleep that try to get him to do things he doesn't want to do and he recognizes that these are not his own thoughts.

The same kind of thing happened in one of the other books when the new Jedi that Luke was...

Right or Wrong for the Administration....

Quote:
... Example; Chas comments openly about the Editing. Is it "Right" or "Wrong"? Well that is actually relative. It is Right because it is outside the Policy which is listed for ALL JO Members and Guests. It is Wrong, because it could have been handled in a much more approperiate way. And only serves to show that Chas will take any chance given to discredit the Administration openly. Not the best of...

Some psychological inquiries to debate morals

feeds@yuku.com (NaobiWan) — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 04:09:55 GMT

I went to a psychological seminar where we were given some amusing questions to answer and I thought they were interesting enough that some of you might get a kick out of them. They were meant to analyze how people would react in certain scenarios and to depict the moral standings that people had. Now, as unfeasible as they are, because they are kind of ludicrous, just try to imagine there's no way out of the scenario other than the options presented. I laughed at them because I kept...

This is a pretty big deal for Israel, because they're a fairly socially conservative country, being composed of so many devout Jews. They're arguably theocratic.

The Ultra-Orthodox Jews might even riot.

Is there any real right or wrong?
by Rick Warren

You know, you might have heard somebody say, "I don't believe there's such a thing as right or wrong." Or maybe you've heard a professor say, "There are no absolutes." Whenever I hear that I want to say, "Are you absolutely sure?" You have to ask yourself, "Is this statement even logical? Is there any right or...

Suicide opinions...

feeds@yuku.com (CanyonVR) — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 11:41:17 GMT

With the issue of suicide in the forefront of many peoples minds I thought it would be a good subject to touch upon in this section.

First off I would like to acknowledge that suicide is one of those controversial subjects. A subject comparable to abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, religion, and politics in the sense that many people have strong and often differing opinions on the subject. With that in mind, these are my opinions, whether you agree, disagree, or are indifferent...

Why I Don't Believe In Property

The most common definition for the origin of property right is Locke's theory, which is what this essay primarily addresses, is that labor, when mixed with nature, creates a right to ownership. If it did not, ownership would be impossible and the taking of one's labor equates with slavery, which is...

Understanding Conservatism

feeds@yuku.com (Declan Thaddeus) — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 08:20:20 GMT

For months now, I have taken a well defended beating for the beliefs I have. I even went as far as to comment on my beliefs within the "Why are you the way you are?" thread. Well, I have decide to provide some education as to what conservatism is. This way people will finally understand what conservatism is from a source outside of the liberal brainwashing that continues to corrupt the minds of America's youth. Below I have provided a short and sweet list of what Conservatism is....
