The Jedi is someone who strives to be something more then he already is. The individual seeks to understand what and who he is, and then through actively living his beliefs in the world, he builds further on what he is. A Jedi is exactly this: A person who knows, to one extent or another, who and what he is, and works on improving himself. I think that, from a Force Academy point of view, a Jedi is defined by his genuine desire to learn, to grow, to experience and analyze these experiences according to a chosen template—the path that we have chosen. We are all walking the path of Light, and it has its rules and requirements. When we face situations and hardships in our real life we need to place them against something to make an evaluation of ourselves, how we have handled situations, but also of the situation itself. Each and every event in offline life, as well as online, has its own truth, its own nature, and as a Jedi we are seeking to understanding this. If I were to describe the Jedi with one word, I think I would chose “Learn.” The word learning can imply learning anything, but the Jedi seeks to learn and to understand about the self and the world.
What defines a Light Jedi is learning: a seeking of understanding, wisdom, compassion and infinite love for all life. The Jedi does not seek to protect and guide some people and destroy others. We help and we guide all who need and wish for it. We do not look at the surface of things, but with our feelings - our very beings - we look into the depth and nuances of the world and see things for what they really are. The world is an amazing color display, and if we look at the surfaces we miss all the small variations, in forms of personality, desires, and needs of people. We are there for other people, but at the same time we do not forget about ourselves. A very wise Jedi Master once told me, that in order for us to truly be able to help others, we must first learn to help ourselves. The Jedi live just like the next person—in the real world with their own problems and needs; however, a Jedi knows how to balance his own well-being with the well-being of others. He knows sacrifice, that caring about his fellow man can be of great reward in sense of knowledge and understanding of himself and others. We are...the Jedi.
