What has to come ? Will my heart grow numb ?
How will I save the world ? By using my mind like a gun
Seems a better weapon, 'cause everybody got heat

What qualifications do any of us have a claim to? Who was the original master of jediism that started all this? A fictional character? What qualifications does the very founder of this temple have to give authority to anything learned or taught here? This place has actually taken things to a different extreme in the often perceived theft of intellectual material in it's training courses given for free vs the legitimacy of actually publishing a self written work and offering it for sale. Given the choice, which would you choose to pursue spiritual enlightenment?
The master I trained under has a PhD in philosophy, hard earned and a fine base to use for any spiritual pursuit in training others as far as im concerned. Anything short of something along those lines seems disingenuous and it's really a tragedy that he is no longer here.

I did admit to being some what of a judgmental a-hole in my previous posts. Now you actually are very correct technically we are building our belief system off of the assumed right to use a fictional source as a myth for what we feel is a truth inherent in the universe. Now, because this earlier post was an opinion I can appreciate what you mean about his self written book. My problem is with going A. as far as to sell it for personal gain. B. To charge people for lessons with in learning how to be a Jedi and make you're life better..........I believe you said you only look at things a s prime motivations, so I ask this presented in the format of the articles above in the thread do you think his motivation is truly to help people be better at being people, find peace, and be Jedi? IMO (not humble at this juncture, im in a mood).....I believe he comes off very televagilist......this is one of the few type of religious people that pull the worst of me out......that is because it is selling people fake positivist material (this though is up to the consumer I guess) for personal profit and that is very much how I see him portrayed in these articles. One last thing IMO it is kinda douche to say that you are the "Founder of Jediism" and not refute that when called that. Br. John does not call himself the founder of all Jediism but the Founder of this Order which factually he is. Again all these are just my opinions and honestly not objective at all, so I will reflect a bit when I have had some time to clear my mind and think this over again to see if my opinion has changed.
Much Love and Respect,
Kobos

Yes you are right in the regard that he has turned it into a business and he has legitimized it by doing this in the eyes of many. A sad state of affairs that people perceive legitimacy in this way but that is the nature of people. Look at Scientology or even Christianity for that matter. Both nothing more than major business. And even given this fact - one that you and I can easily perceive, people still find spiritual meaning in it. Why is that? Because people do not know how to critically think. They would rather be told what to think than be taught to think for themselves. And that is why Daniel is so successful.

I don't know, some would argue that universities are not much different to anyone else selling anything, they've just been doing it for so well and for so long that it doesn't occur to you to be suspect.
What divine character gave your master his PhD, and who gave them theirs?
It's turtles all the way down.
(the voices in my head say I should mention that at some point Plato was probably considered a two-bit hack peddling his bullshit self indulgent manuscripts on the side of the road in Athens)
