The Jedi Quandry

feeds@yuku.com (kol drake) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 10:12:09 GMT

Just came on this web post and found it interesting in a few ways. (1) It nicely shows the 'origins' of the Jedi philosophy pointing out it's three (actually four) main influences ; (2) shows how, while each individually 'cool' , they tend to have conflicts in their approaches as pertaining to the movies/Jedi; (3) some interesting insights into the fourth 'way' (not a religion or philosophy but a 'standard of conduct') which is lofty in it's ideal form...

Jadie - can I get that yogurt recipe?

feeds@yuku.com (astasophi) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 19:34:54 GMT

After realizing that store-bought yogurt (as much as I love it) is in those difficult to recycle plastic containers I'm considering making-up my own yogurt.

You said you've done it...

Any recipes or suggestions?

I know these archives had been lost for a few years. I decided to do some digging on this sleepless night.

Interesting reading!

Anakin as a symbol of Christian hope

feeds@yuku.com (JadeLight) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 06:08:25 GMT

I was watching Star Wars III the other day and the one thing that occurred to me was that when Anakin was struck down by Obi Wan in the pit of molten lava, it made me think of a person being sent to hell. Then, Anakin is taken from the molten pit by Palpatine and subjected to 20-some years of hell in a metal suit, serving the devil. After that period, Luke comes along and frees Anakin from his hell, aligning him with the good side of the Force again ("I see the good in him"). For...

Kenobi, a slave to destiny?

feeds@yuku.com (JadeLight) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 06:02:30 GMT

We've all watched the movies and seen Obi Wan take claim for the Anakin's fall and the subsequent fall of the Republic. We watched while he took Luke to Tatooine, not to raise and train Luke himself but to turn him over to the safekeeping of his Uncle. We all heard Obi Wan when he said, "I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you".

But what we don't realize is that if the Force has a will of its own, a plan for each and every one of us, then we are just...

Were the Jedi the Elite?

feeds@yuku.com (JadeLight) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:45:27 GMT

I was thinking the other day about how the Jedi would pull children from their families and train them in this temple that was well supplied. Yes, the Jedi did live a spartan life, only owning what they could carry from one place to another. But, when you consider that the Jedi were often isolated from the harshness of life, basically being raised in a sheltered world, even if they were sent to a work farm, they still lived pretty nicely. This brings to my mind people who go off to these nice...

Meditation for the President and the World

feeds@yuku.com (JadeLight) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 04:30:48 GMT

A new President and new times. A brighter dream for the future of America and its people. Many may think that there is nothing that they can do in order to assist with the economic turn-around and the new President taking office but I feel that meditation and directing positive energy to President Obama and the world is something that can be done in order to move things along. Please join me in sending positive energy to President Obama and the world, providing a shield of protection for our...

JadeLight's Journal

feeds@yuku.com (JadeLight) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:23:54 GMT

On this day, two days before the inauguration of our first black President, everyone is applauding the people of the United States, including the people of the United States themselves, for transgressing the lines of color. I have heard many people say that the fact that Obama was elected President of the United States shows that discrimination in the United States is in the past. All I have to say is that it is about time that the people came to realize that the color of...

Vedanta Meditation

feeds@yuku.com (JadeLight) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 08:37:17 GMT

Vedanta Meditation

Vedanta meditation separates meditation into two categories; objective and subjective. In objective meditation, the ideal that is being focused upon is outside of the body while in subjective meditation the ideal is inside of the body.

Asta's Journal

feeds@yuku.com (astasophi) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:54:17 GMT

I'll go ahead and begin keeping a training journal here.

Actually - this past week I've done pretty badly. I finally got all the documentation and handed the title of my house into the charity I donated it to - and it seems my long journey of "change" is done and "health" is truly beginning.

It's good... And a new President too! It's a good week to end the old and get on with the new....

It is really bad when you cannot remember them all so I decided to stick to one name, Jade Light. I have used other not so nice names as well but that...
