Reintroducing the Crystal code.

You gave me the clue that I needed, RyuJin, a door with new possibilities. If apprentice is not ready, how could an apprentice understand the lesson without the code? Lets say that there are multiple storeys around one lesson, does it mean that this code gives multiple lessons that makes it so hard to catch? You give me really big questions now, love that part! :laugh:

Most of the ip material has multiple lessons...you'll find that many knights and masters revisit the material and still find new things they missed...

RyuJin:,, because they aren't ready for it'' After those words, how do we know we are not ready for it? How do we know we are ready for it. If Jedi from Grand master to Member find new understandings.. Should this mean we are never ready enough? That we have a bigger ego that we do not have..

I do not know but I get more questions and that says something about my own understanding, am should I be ready for it If I am Novice, asking more than I can handle? Asking less than I can handle maybe I should be more neutral in my minding however it is a weird thing, giving me more and more questions, do you get more questions to? :side:

That's a good point, RyuJin. Our perspectives and understandings of spirituality and our individual spiritual paths make a big difference in regard to what we find useful or beneficial and how we interpret something. Every Jedi that I've met in this community is remarkably unique in terms of how they approach personal and spiritual development, their interests, and what Jediism means to them. I've yet to meet two Jedi who agree completely on what the Force is, for example - so naturally something like the Crystal Code will contain many meanings and impact each one of us to a lesser or greater degree.

As our awareness develops we gain more from previously visited material...it just means that at the time we did it we weren't ready for all it had to teach us, that's why we revisit it...even in the fiction/movies/games knights would revisit their old masters to learn more...

That is like talking about more with less, you saying not a word to much..

Lol, I thought I was being rather wordy...I try to not be too vague/cryptic

Haha :laugh:

I am cryptic, you talk well, no worry


talking about more with less
talking about less with more meaning than we can see, never know if there is more so talking with less words.

you saying not a word to much..
Talking about with precise the good amount of words :side:

I myself also found the Crystal Code out of place within the IP. With that being said, why not propose it be added to the new program being developed as a volunteer course for Initiates? I think Des is working on it...

Zenchi: ,,Why not propose it be added to the new program being developed as a volunteer course for Initiates?''

If you believe that the Crystal code is out of place in the IP, you may believe that. But what I do not understand is, why would you make a volunteer course for Initiates, a code with a great lesson as volunteer material? An initiate should discover multiple opinions,

Doctrine of the order says that Jediism finds its roots in philosophies. I see the Crystal Code as a Philosophy just as our creed and code of the Jedi. Philosophy drives us to the edge of our mind, the edge of our mask..
The Crystal code as philosophy of the force.. fundamental to understand that my request was to place it in the IP due to the fact it is fundamental philosophy.

If there is a majority that wants the Crystal code, an huge fundamental philosophy more than a decade of questions according to some.. as an secondary option of the Initiate Program, the basic tools of a Jedi..

I shall have peace with the decisions of the majority, I have peace with your choice, but my request is to bring it back in the IP rather than a appendix of our mind.
