Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

Thanks for this Connor. I've spent a good deal of time since I discovered TOTJO going "Oh!! So that's what I'm doing when (insert weirdness here) happens". Its nice to know that there is some kind of tangible if not provable explanation, and great to have a frame work to start from.

I've got a sizeable collection of mantak chia ebooks if anyone is looking for/interested in the material...I also think there's a few of them in the totjo library (though not certain)
Warning: Spoiler!
There is passion, yet there is peace
Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me
Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me

Because it was probably written before you even joined the site. August 2013 is ages ago in online time. lol. The updated version was finished last night. Took out a lot and replaced a lot. Still good, though.

I said it in a message, but I wanted to echo it here. Thank you for taking the time to compile this information! It's awesome to see like minded Jedi here in the Temple. Finding this thread was an awesome treat!
