TotJO: New York

- Sponsorships
- Is there a big need for sponsers? I try to read any IP entrees when they come in. If the temple cannot find enough sponsers, I am willing to formalize the process and help out (although not many people seem to be working on the IP these days).
- ATTN: COUNCIL; Updated Doctrine Proposal
- um. EXACTLY. This is why, I, being verbosity incarnate, recommended a much more concise version. A creed, is more kinda targeted to what you do in the ideal. I would say, "A Jedi strives to....", etc. to indicate that we too have standards and that we too can miss the mark. But having standards...
- Joseph Campbell is awful
- This was a great discussion to read and really helped me feel better about some of the things that were dragging me down about this Campbell section of the IP, thank you Paschal!!!!!!!! And thank you to everyone who participated. I agree that Campbell is kind of a blowhard. There is merit to...
- How did you choose your totjo name and why ?
- I jut used my real name, first and middle initial, and my last name. I rocked the J. K. way before Rowling, and I'm stickin' to it B) Seriously though, my intent was to keep an open, honest, and consistent record of myself and my Path. I would imagine there being difficulties with using an...
- The Block
- Being "born again" is metaphor : whereas body-soul ("soul" = anima/l, that which 'animates' a physical body beyond biological necessity ~ thoughts, sentiments, desires, fears...) birth is imposed - as is death of this duality 'body-soul', the "rebirth" is that to "Spirit" and is voluntary. One must...
- Looking for the people who introduced me to jediis...
- Incidentally, this has been on my mind quite a bit. The TotJO, and/or all organisations like it (churches, charities, philanthropic associations &c.) must respond to the transcendental needs of their participants. "Transcendental" here means only that 'greater-than-myself' liberation from the...
- Post-Modernist Pirate Jokes
- How come nobody played cards with the pirate? Because he was standing on the deck! The other pirates had no universal moral perspective from which to criticize him, so they stared at the ocean and contemplated God’s absence. Why don’t you ever see a pirate cry? Because, when they do, it’s a...
- About Police Shootings (in America, Duh)
- To comment on the video, a totally anecdotal stat I've heard from my military friends is that while 50% of the time people will be incapacitated by a single shot (i.e. unable to continue presenting a serious danger), 10% of the time people will survive ultimately fatal wounds and be unfazed by it...
- Live Liturgy Service
- Thank you for a wonderful service, J.K.! May the force be with you.
- Lightsaber Meditation
- Thank you for the share! My lightsaber (which is a silly cheap plastic toy) went wrong so I will simply use visualization, and maybe the image of the ceremonial lightsaber hilt design I made for TOTJF Apprentice trials. Hope I can afford Saberforge sabers once (it is said, they are really good,...
