July first is my birthday. It is my custom to pass on wisdom on such days. As this is mine , may I ask the temple so wonderfully please take some time but on this place here on the block , please leave birthday wisdoms here. I am looking forward to what we find!

"Obstacles"

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold

Take two steps forward, one step back
Every time I get on track the light fades to black
As the curtain drops back, I still step to my destiny
I see it right in front of me, it's in your eyes (I see)
Dancin' to the beat and these sweat melodies
Ridin' on a breeze, the trees part for me
But these sharks still circle through the park

I look to you, it's in my nature since a youth
When I ran after you and lights went blue
Me and you, you and me
I share my heart with ya, you're my family now

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels, the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
So play your cards then...
Once upon a time I ran to you,
Banned myself to find your wealth
Return to the land of truth
Found myself all alone as the stars they kissed
Still runnin' after you through this wilderness
At dawn I tracked snow through back yards and front lawns
I'm up late wide awake I'm reborn as day breaks and gets on

To you, it's in my nature since a youth
When I ran after you and lights went blue
Me and you, you and me
I share my heart with ya, you're my family now

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels, the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards...

Siftin' through the sand
A man is just a man
No matter how you fan the flame
It all comes out the same
In the end you are my friend <3

walk with me Jedi ...
here's something to think about a bit more heavy...'
water wind fire earth
All elements and all proofers. All have the ability to take everything down to its simples. Some times decaying yet simplest form.
Each has it own value and properties and such, yet all do the same. definitions will differ and to tell you the truth the differences in small parts can even be a factor of taking and giving. They exist. They do not hate as us or quibble as we. human emotions. I often use them as example of proofing. fire proofs water... boils out the impurities as it does for metals and things of that nature. Water proofs earth at times in volume and in minute moments. Big and, AND small. wind some days can not be stopped by any of the elements and we have put it to the others to control it even charge it, excel it, with wind. AIR I could go on and on but Jedi are smart... so I leave this to you, can we be like the elements? Can we benefit from them? can we use the examples we have seen in our own life's and apply them and begin to step toward that place where we are seeking? I believe in every single one of you ! you are the FIRE the WIND and the air! Some of you are many some are one...some of you are waiting!!! My oath is to the Temple and my students and I still say, Temple I am yours, May the Living Force we seek and sare find you where you look!!!!! KEEP SEEKING!!!!

The no contest contest

Jedi believe a bit more difrent and open minded . One of the most wonderful things I have read here is this ... " there is no contest." Many different organizations call it many things... Selfless ... Humble ... Removal... Fact is we are not in contest in life. Here especially. I am in no race with you. You ... Shouldn't ... Be in a race with me , we are in life with no contest . The no contest contest is my challenge to all Jedi , try it , live like there's no contest , speak like there's no contest , act like there is no contest , Kinna changes things a bit ? I hope so!
Force be with y'all!

Wanna try ? Do not ! See if there isn't a ... Difference... See if it's you some times!!!

As a Jedi I believe in life as a path. Many do and many other organizations sects groups relate to the same. One of the neatest things ideas colors songs vibrations I have discovered is ther is no sway on my path. Let me explain ...


Everything done choice made or not Made is and has gotten me to this point . Right here right now. I also believe that There is no ... Right or wrong there simply is. Both sides , all sides present all moments acssessable . (Like a great library of life) It's our choice and focus to bring to light the sad glad and so forth right now. All those choices or not choices have led me here . . . The right and wrong are only opinions really lol.
So , on this path we can choose to have opinions of this not that or , we can share a few ideas like , there is no stray on the path of life . It's not for every one and that's ok too but here's somthimg from this old Jedi to share with you as you put things in your thinker ! May the Living Force we share be with you !

Life is full. Do we fold ? Some do I have , other will. Find the light or song or thing or idea you seek. Keep it share it grow it. Remember we are Jedi and fans and husbands and wives and friends and brothers and .....

The All Myth

We as Jedi believe in no original sin. That's a religious choose . That's a choice of each individual to take or not take. We believe in life , connections , and wisdom shared for the progression and or freedom of the individual.
The All Myth is an easy idea to share and a big benefit to those who include It in any form or degree at any time in their path.

The All Myth says , I as an individual take or give no credit to where it ... Orbhow some times I see a story, a myth , a moral , Amy form of wisdom on my path I treat it as equal and valuable and attainable for what ever purpose I choose or is given to me for or attained. Any myth I can have and incorporate ant moral, any character building examples I can have and use to create my own desired character.

There are ARE many difrent deeper lesser equal and different variations of this idea. Ide love to chat here about it .
When I first sAw this idea in practice , actual practice was in Joseph C. Writings. He thought larger and saw larger. The more I actually studied the man the more I realized there was few things he did not verify himself. Did you read that right ? I hope so. He verified everything he knew .... First hand.
Now , the hope for the All Myth is to not regard the credit of who and where things come from but the prize rather than the credit. The idea and the reason for it , does it give you strength or hope or joy or peace ... That's the All myth basic. Lol this is not my idea so I can not even begin to explain the ins and outs o somthing I share with many and we all still don't really don't know the possibilities. So far as labels ... Smh label this one the All myth . The book myths to love by by JC himself can show a find in and reporting style of stories he collected and giving credit to the people he found it at he says these are the same , stop worrying about the credit the idea is .... The moral the reason is ... This .... So take it to use as a human. Make your own song. Ideas like this free. Ideas like this truly remove lines like religion or credit or that type of idea and changes focus not on that but on the prize , the moral the strength the reminder the what ever. That begats growth . Man is growth. Care to grow a bit ? Might hurt . It's always personal when it's real. The All Myth , as real as to wanna make it ... Or not . Smiley face !
My hope is our conections grow if not directly indirectly. But ... Together . This idea can help and has helped me a lot ... A lot . Maturity in a lot of parts of my life needed attention I never knew I could benefit from. All right there . Right in front of me the whole time . Join me friends and think about it ... The all myth ?

P s ... Funny thing , not my idea but I have a form of it in my life I share daily. Funny thing is there was some form of it already there when I finnaly sat down names it tried it ... It was there all along too. Any who be well my Temple and let us grow!!!

May the Force be with you ... As you seek it !

Disclaimer !!!!!


Not every body sees the ALL MYTH as I or even some who will object . As is life. Not all Jedi do one thing, one thing the same , we may have similar ways and ideas but never do I speak for any other person here than my self. This is an idea I Carlos share with my family and friends, and now my temple . Hope we are all on the same page !

I'm really interested in this idea, as you know. So let me see if I'm understanding:

The All Myth is kind of a prototype myth. Say, a generic "good and evil fight each other and we see that good is a worthy cause" which can then be plugged into any culture or interest or belief system. As an example; I actually had a discussion last night with a friend who keeps the Old Norse faith, in which he shared how current day superheroes are directly analogous to Old Norse gods.

Does that sound about right, or am I not quite getting it yet?

If it works it works lol . Joking aside it is always to the individual to decide the good and evil , those are opinions and choices. The All Myth just says your story give me ... Strength joy peace warning whatever without having to claim a ceartin sect or another . To share a story and be better for it . The All Myth. The All Myth says those examples , stories are just as good as the day they were told or forged in some cases and we can use em just as potent as then , today. Not only identify but utilize .

Somthing to think about Jedi ,

There will be a day when you get it . There will be a day when you understand . There will be a day when you recieve . There will be a day of rest . There will be a day of hope. There will be a day of strength and ... The day the student becomes the teacher and the teacher becomes the example . This is a way of life new current old past present . Some day what you have planted will fruit . Ibises tonpraybfpr crop failure often lol . What ya planting right now ?
May the Force we seek find you where we seek it !!

As Jedi its hard to practice what we preach so to speak some days. What makes it even harder is to practice something we don't even know ourselfs. Often times this makes me when I felt it , I don't know about you , but I felt like there was a darkness or a void at times. It was when I began to seek... That I saw things. I found light during the seek. Catch that .? If we need light ... Look for it , it's in the looking we may find ... Difrent lights ... Difrent examples difrent view.. Many more. There ... Is where we find. So , somthing to think about ... If we lack light or guidance some days ... How do we get it ... Happy seeking !

I am Jedi I believe in the Force .

There is a term I use a lot in my every day speak. My friends and family are frequents of its use and the bin odors are astounding .
The term is this
Blind hate
It lives every where and breeds in everything . The condition the purpose the flow the comm the song of the sheep what ever you call it ... It lives .
Blind hate is aimply that ... Any reason to share ... Hate . Some of my students ask me how I see things and how I never really argue ... That's it once blind hate is identified then it can be combated or even relinquished and ...AND some times dissipated. I love speaking thru labels and hate it's my favriot thing. Cuts to the quick . Well what if these people ... Blind hate ? Yea every ones got it ... Even me but I hope that they all this we come out better and stronger , I have !
So next time your confronted with ... Blind hate .. Say it , that's blind hate . The light often ...often gives more light in the dark where it lives . Some just need to see it pointed out some times and some need to be warned and still others need to know what exactly it is.

Blind hate gives hate to strangers .
Blind hate hears no one else.
Blind hate is demanding of your attention as well as allegiance.
Blind hate promises things is can not deliver .
Seen any lately ? Please this is to edify the Temple not put down. Once we see and begin using terms that make things Easyer ... Well, the path clears up a bit .
May the living force we seek and find you every where you seek it
