The transcript of the service:

Warning: Spoiler!

(01:13:39) MCSH: Thank you Alexandre

(01:14:02) MCSH: The First Step
(01:14:10) MCSH: While writing this sermon, I was reminding myself that no matter where, the first step is important.
(01:14:20) MCSH: Let it be something as big as a religious path,
(01:14:34) MCSH: or something smaller, a first sermon in a series of sermons talking about the first step in a religious path,
(01:14:45) MCSH: or even smaller, the first paragraph of a sermon from a series of sermons talking about the first step in a religious path.
(01:14:53) MCSH: I can go on forever...
(01:15:02) MCSH: I guess that's one of the reasons for writing the first letter of each chapter larger than the rest...
(01:15:11) MCSH: Have you ever thought about it?
(01:15:13) Temple Bot: Zenchi has been logged out (Timeout).
(01:15:21) Temple Bot: Zenchi logs into the Chat.
(01:15:26) MCSH: Before anything else... let me ask what is the first step?
(01:15:38) MCSH: Now that's a little hard to answer... given the fact that it depends on the action...
(01:15:49) MCSH: So let's narrow it down a little, what's the first step in Jediism?
(01:16:01) MCSH: Still hard to find a suitable answer...
(01:16:05) Temple Bot: Jestor has been logged out (Timeout).
(01:16:13) MCSH: so. .. for last time... what's the first step in Jediism as TOTJO defines?
(01:16:28) MCSH: Some may argue that the first step in Jediism as TOTJO defines is the initial program; some may say it's the oath or the application; a few may say it is the intro, perhaps starting a journal could be another 'first step'...
(01:16:53) MCSH: Although all of these are one of the first steps in being a Jedi, the first one is none of those...
(01:16:57) Temple Bot: Jestor logs into the Chat.
(01:17:05) MCSH: The first step is wanting to be a Jedi; without it none of the others won't happen.
(01:17:12) MCSH: You will never take the oath or start the initial program in order to be a Jedi, without wanting to be a Jedi...
(01:17:26) MCSH: So... let's take it a step back, I asked more specific questions so it'd be a little easier to answer... now let's ask the harder one's again.
(01:17:34) MCSH: What is the first step in Jediism?
(01:17:45) MCSH: Still the answer is same, it is wanting to be a Jedi that makes you do whatever that is necessary in order to be a Jedi.
(01:18:02) MCSH: Now,... What is the first step?
(01:18:14) MCSH: Do I need to say, before doing anything, it is wanting it to happen that is important?
(01:18:30) MCSH: Some religions have a good requirement for doing some religious things, and that is to say (to themselves) What they are about to do, and why; well some requires the follower to say "for [insert deity name here]" just to keep it religious...
(01:18:45) MCSH: that is a great habit... if you ask yourself why am I doing this you'll think it through...
(01:19:00) MCSH: Hmm... Isn't that a little familiar to you?
(01:19:10) MCSH: The Three tenets: Wisdom.
(01:19:18) MCSH: The 16 teachings: 3. Jedi are aware of the future impacts of action and inaction and of the influence of the past, but live in and focus on the Now...
(01:19:31) MCSH: The 21 maxims:
Pure Motive: To act with motive and purpose.
Without a sound motive and purpose, action has no meaning, no destination and lacks a foundation. A Jedi moves with the Force, trusts in its ways. A Jedi’s actions are firmly based upon a deep motivation to be as their path dictates.
(01:19:52) MCSH: I am suggesting to you, just to ask yourself why am I doing this; believe it or not, it'll help you in your life.
(01:20:05) MCSH: To conclude this service, please repeat the Jedi Creed after me.
