Misconceptions THE JEDI TRIALS: THE TRIAL OF COURAGE Reposted from Return of a Jedi, the blog of Destiny Froste, with permission.. From The Jedi Path by Daniel Wallace:. Trial of Courage Establishes a Jedi’s skill and fortitude in the face of danger and overwhelming odds.. Even if your talents lean more toward diplomacy than war, courage is an intrinsic part of being a Jedi. Though the Force is with us, we are small in number when compared to FIVE VIRTUES OF A JEDI KNIGHT By Katherine Mock. There are many virtues required of all Jedi: objectivity, love of learning, emotional control, discipline, the desire to help others the list is long. But there are a few that are specifically important for Jedi Knights. The main virtues of the Bushido code and the western code of chivalry are interestingly

similar.

KNIGHTHOOD STANDARDS Pursuing knighthood with California Jedi is open to all members, but required or expected of none. Firstly, a Jedi Knight is someone who has walked the path despite obstacles and trials for a long time: long enough to deeply explore their path and internalize it so they are a Jedi every day, not just when it is helpful or convenient.

WHY JEDI MEDITATE

Here are why some California Jedi members and friends meditate, in their own words. Meditation has helped a lot. I find that it helps with bouts of depression that I deal with. I’ve found that it’s increased my patience, and has helped me be more observant and introspective about my actions. I also think it’s helped me gain

some calm.

THE JEDI TRIALS: TRIAL OF INSIGHT Through a perceptual trick all were made to believe they faced a horde of angry warriors. One battle on the face of certain defeat and passed her Trial of Courage. The second perceived the illusory nature of the combatants and passed his Trial of Insight. The third bowed out of the trial, citing exhaustion, and failed to become a Knight. 10 THINGS ESSENTIAL TO JEDI TRAINING Written by Kevin Trout for 356Jedi. 1. Up Early. As a Jedi we have a lot to do. That means getting an early start on the day. To be clear this has nothing to do with AM or PM. It simply follows the HOW TO START AN OFFLINE JEDI TRAINING GROUP How to Begin. Decide you want to start a Jedi group. Understand that this is going to take a lot of hours over the next several years, and possibly some monetary resources, depending on how you want to go about this. Find one other person to support you and bounce ideas off of, ideally interested in being a first member.

JEDI WELLNESS

A Jedi is defined by their training. Here are posts specifically targeted at improving the five areas of wellness: Phsycial, Mental, Emotional, Social, and Spiritual.

MEDITATION SERIES

Meditation is a practice common to most philosophical or spiritual paths. Whether it is the common image of Buddhist or Hindu meditation, or the Christian or Muslim practice of reflective prayers, or even the non-religious practice of self-reflection and relaxation, all Jedi practice a form of it.

WHAT IS THE FORCE?

"It surrounds us, penetrates, binds the galaxy together." What is the force? California Jedi Members speak on what the Force means to them. OPINIONS AND PERSPECTIVES There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge. Here you will find lectures and lessons written by members of the California Jedi.

KNIGHTHOOD

The path toward Knighthood is a common goal for Jedi, but what is it

all about?

ALTERNATE PERSPECTIVES Although this site is focused on the training and wisdom of California Jedi members, we all learn from each other. Here you will find lectures and lessons from non-California Jedi. 5TH ANNUAL (VIRTUAL) CALIFORNIA GATHERING __ Katie Mock __ July 31,
