We are Jedi; We are Protectors.
A jedi to me is honest and has courage, wisdom and helps those around them. I think its something to aim for and put into practice within my life. We protect those who need it, sometimes subtly by helping them to improve themselves, guiding but letting them take responsibility for themselves and sometimes by standing up and speaking out or putting ourselves physically in the way and trying to calm situation while protecting. I have to say sometimes protecting means taking on what may be hard and accepting the responsibility yourself for some that cant defend themselves.
We see a luminous world
we don't ignore the reality of life, the hardships but we choose to see the value of lessons life gives us, the beauty around us, to focus on gratefulness and joy even in the darkest times.
We serve by choice and with integrity
We choose to be of service, its not forced but done through love and wanting to help. We take responsibility for our circles, family, friends and community and serve those in turn. We do this with honesty, with respect for all and life and we do it with courage knowing we cant control the outcome but doing it because it needs doing and we can do it.
We stay strong to support others
We first need to be strong, mentally, physically and spiritually ourselves because when we are we bring our best to our goal of supporting others.
We combat adversity through wisdom and peace
Some situations we combat through wisdom, knowing and understanding what to say or not say can defuse a situation. And helping others to understand or bringing understanding to ourselves can bring peace. Not every situation needs action. Violence while useful is a last resort and knowing when to step back and stay ready can also bring peace.
We strive to learn and teach in all acts
Everything can be a lesson even if we don't recognise it in the moment. But looking at it, meditating about our actions can help us learn. If our actions and words match and we act with wisdom and courage in all we do, we can teach through our actions.
We shall lead by example
We show through our words and actions what a jedi should be. Not judging, just showing in our behaviour. Displaying the attributes of what we believe in.
We are one with the Force
Is this connections? We are always connected to the world and others. We are one, the force isnt some outside concept but a part of us, what we do, connected inside with the world around us and everyone everything within the world. Gives us a empathy that might not be present if seperated and apart. Not really sure of this
