Mission and Vision Statement

We are a caring and supportive spiritual community that helps individuals worldwide to attain and sustain a one-to-one relationship with the Light of their own true Inner Self and therefore reconnect to their own True Divine Nature to which we refer to as Jedi. We teach a path of soul liberation through inner mastery and outer accomplishment as sons and daughters of the Light and of freedom. We celebrate and embrace the teachings of Jediism and the truths of the world's major religions. Our community is built upon the rock of truth, divine love and the light of inner illumination. We promote service to others based on the understanding that we are all one, and welcome all to worship with us in a spirit of peace and unity.

Jediism's mission, in short, is to reaffirm and restore the knowledge of the True Inner Self (which we refer to as Jedi) and invite all to a personal faith in the Light, which encompasses the Light Side of the Force celebrated by numerous religious and philosophical beliefs that span over five thousand years of human history. We desire to build up an international worldwide community of Jediism and to draw true Jedi Knights together into a spirit of common unity. Our goal is encouragement and as guidance for believers while reaching beyond the Jedi Temple to those who are seeking to know the truth that sets one free. Jediism is for those seeking answers and practical steps to living life to the fullest as the Light intended through personal Jediism faith that sets one free.

We believe in the path of the true Jedi Knights, and with it the Code of Jediism, as twin pillars on the path of community illumination and personal enlightenment for all. Our intention is to make a difference by helping people rediscover the real values that inspire illumined action and create an atmosphere of enlightenment and peace, internally and simultaneously in our international community.

The Official Code of Jediism

A person asked recently, "What is the end goal of this movement?"

The answer is abundantly clear: Illumination. Inner growth, Peace that comes from inner resolution and deepened understanding. A theology that embraces what we consider to be the golden thread of universal truth that runs through every major religion and theology. A means to promote inner and world peace. A path that can lead to the Light, embraced by many on differing levels of commitment and devotion, whether within our organization, or following other religions and incorporating Jedi beliefs into their own theological cup.

Buildings are just that: buildings, Believers truly carry the teachings of Jediism in their hearts - the true inner temple. Whether or not buildings are constructed to house communities wishing to worship, exercising their freedom of religion on the faith of their choice will be up to the collective destinies of each free will choice to serve in way that is most appropriate to them.

For now the basic direction we have received is to construct and follow a feasible guide, or code, with which to honour and serve the Light, true to the ways of Jediism, of which this code is based.

It is not the intention of our organization to be yet another container for a whole of creation, yet another paradigm which limits the true release of the Force, and interfere with the soul becoming One with the Will of the Force. That is counterproductive and would not allow the growth of the theology of Jediism. We offer an alternative to the many religions and philosophical movements that are available, and it is our solemn belief that Jediism is soon forming into a viable religion and inner faith to lead those willing to submit themselves firmly upon the path of knowledge to what we call a spiritual renaissance which can take the Jedi much higher into the world of spirit and embrace much higher truths than any that were ever conjured up from the science fiction series.

The journey we call life is a vast array of perpetual challenges. Souls choose their own particular destiny and path by the alliances they keep. We believe that Jediism CAN offer the soul a viable religion in which to serve the Light, and it is to that end that we serve and pay homage to, embraced by the following Jedi Code:

21 Maxims of the Jediism Code

I. Prowess

To seek excellence in all endeavors expected of a Jedi Knight, martial and otherwise, seeking strength to be used in the service of justice, rather than in personal aggrandizement. A Jedi strives to excel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and can put these in motion instantly. This requires discipline, patience and perfect practice, for a Jedi is always mindful of what lies behind and what lies ahead, and prepares for the encounter with his destiny. A Jedi Knight engages in the battle to be victorious - on whatever front he is faced with in the modern world.

II. Justice

Seek always the path of 'right', unencumbered by bias or personal interest. Recognize that the sword of justice can be a terrible thing, so it must be tempered by humanity and mercy. If the 'right' you see agrees with others, and you seek it out without bending to the temptation for expediency, then you will earn renown beyond measure. Meditate often upon the Force as a means to discern justice, as well as discerning both good and evil.

III. Loyalty

Be known for unwavering commitment to the people and ideals you choose to live by. There are many places where compromise is expected; loyalty is not amongst them. Jedi can exist in this universe because the Force exists. But the Jedi Order needs more: it requires loyalty. It goes without saying that Jedi should be loyal to one another. They should not squabble or fight. More importantly, though, each Jedi should be aware that he must act in accordance with the wishes of his Master, who must in turn act in accordance with the wishes of the Jedi Council. This is not a question of seniority, but rather of understanding the will of the Force, and in this regard, the members of the Jedi Council are wise council indeed.

IV. Defense

The ideal Jedi Knight is sworn by oath to defend the Light.. Seek always to defend your nation, your family, and those to whom you believe worthy of loyalty.

V. Courage

Being a Jedi Knight often means choosing the more difficult path, the personally expensive one. Be prepared to make personal sacrifices in service of the precepts and people you value. At the same time, a Jedi Knight should seek wisdom to see that stupidity and courage are cousins. Courage also means taking the side of truth in all matters, rather than seeking the expedient lie. Seek the truth whenever possible, but remember to temper justice with mercy, or the pure truth can bring grief. However, it must also be noted that to a Jedi, to be brave in battle proves nothing, as bravery itself proves nothing. A Jedi should be prepared to put aside fear, regret, and uncertainty and either act, retreat, surrender or perish.

VI. Faith

A Jedi Knight must have faith in his beliefs, for faith roots him and gives hope against the despair that human failings create. A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. A Jedi's faith is in the Light, and to the One from which it emanates, as his guidance, as his path, as his friend, and as his destiny. The path of Jedi is a path of inner illumination and the conquering of the lesser self, that the Greater Inner Self, better known as Jedi, may in turn take dominion over the life purpose and destiny of the Outer Self, or Jedi, who resides in the physical.

VII. Humility

Value first the contributions of others; do not boast of your own accomplishments, let others do this for you. Tell the deeds of others before your own, according them the renown rightfully earned through virtuous deeds. In this way the office of Jedi Knighthood is well done and glorified, helping not only the gentle spoken of but also all who call themselves Jedi Knights.

VIII. Fearlessness

Fear leads to the Darkside. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. There is so much superstition and hypocrisy around that one is afraid even to do the right thing. But if one gives way to fear, even truth will have to be suppressed. The golden rule is to act fearlessly upon what one believes to be right. Fearlessness does not mean arrogance or aggressiveness. That in itself is a sign of fear. Fearlessness presupposes calmness and peace of mind. For this, it is necessary to have a living faith in the Light. He who has awakened his spirit to the Light is free from fear. Fear lies in illusions in the mind. Listen always to the still small voice within - commune within by meditation, both moving and sitting still. Practice courage until it becomes who you are. Practice equinimity, which is to experience changes and be unmoved - a mountain of being remains unmoved. When fear is displaced within, ALWAY replace it with Light. Nature abhors a vacuum.

IX. Nobility

Seek great stature of character by holding to the virtues and duties of a Jedi Knight, realizing that though the ideals cannot be reached, the quality of striving towards them ennobles the spirit, growing the character from dust towards the heavens. Nobility also has the tendency to influence others, offering a compelling example of what can be done in the service of rightness.

X. Franchise

Seek to emulate everything here as sincerely as possible, not for the reason of personal gain but because it is right. Do not restrict your exploration to a small world, but seek to infuse every aspect of your life with these qualities. Should you succeed in even a tiny measure then you will be well remembered for your quality and virtue. Using the Force for selfish purposes --- self-gain, egotism, even convenience --- crosses the boundary between the light and the dark sides.

XI. Pure Motive

It is true that actions speak louder than words. However, behind every action is motive and a purpose. Without a sound motive and purpose, action has no meaning, no destination, and lacks a foundation. Action without motive and purpose does nothing other than to move for the sake of moving, beating the air to appear to doing something, when in fact is doing nothing, the proverbial spinning wheels in the mud. A Jedi moves with the Force. He meditates upon the Will of the Force. A Jedi's actions are firmly based upon a deep motivation to serve the Force of Light, and is deeply rooted in purpose. There is no wasted movement, or the need for action when none is required, for to a Jedi, action means nothing without a pure motive, or a sound purpose.

XII. Discipline

A Jedi's mind is a calm ocean, like a sea of glass. He realizes that it is in conquering the tides of the emotions as well as reactions to stimulus that allows the Jedi to be victorious in all things, for he is chalice for the Force, an extension of the Will of the Force. This inner stillness requires much discipline: mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. A Jedi by nature is highly disciplined in all levels of his being, that in the fiery moment where the Force must be released to defend self or others who deserve that loyalty, the action is a clear extension of many years of training and inner discipline.

XIII. Focus

A Jedi Knight's focus is in the moment, in the now, realizing that the stylus of time cuts in the present, and that history is perpetually in the making. A Jedi Knight realizes that past is important, as well as the future, working to develop the spiritual faculties to perceive and discern such, but not at the expense of the present, of the here and now.

XIV. Discretion

It is sometimes necessary for a Jedi to practice discretion. Jedis do not actively interfere with the lives of the common people. Jedi stand for order and justice; however, Jedis prioritize and streamline their involvement, and do not allow the misdeeds of the few to interfere with the conscious direction received as to the Will of the Force and how their office as Jedi helps brings these into fruition. The goal of the Jedi should be to create and preserve an atmosphere where justice can flourish, rather than try to create justice themselves. A byword of Jedi could be, "I may not always agree with your choices, but I will defend your right to choose with my very life."

XV. Meditation

"Every Jedi should spend time meditating each day on the will of the Force. The reason for this is simple: if one has unwittingly acted contrary to the will of the Force, recognising the mistake soon after may still give one time to make amends." By regularly examining one's own motivations, a Jedi could be certain that she was not allowing emotion, ignorance, or passion to intrude upon their clarity. A Jedi who has no time to meditate may more easily become lost. More to the point, a Jedi who refuses to meditate may already know that her motivations are not pure, and is thus lying to herself. "The Jedi who heeds not the counsel of the Force, to the Dark Side listens." Because a Jedi is an integral component of the Light side, it is therefore a prudent practice for the Jedi to also meditate upon the luminous essence of being (the inner light) at least once a day, which purifies the mind, motives and direction.

XVI. Training

A Jedi's training in the Force never ends. A wise Jedi should strive to remember that there is always something more to learn about the Force. The Force reveals itself to those who have the desire and knowledge to see it, and merely heeding the Force's will is much the same as looking at an elephant's toe and saying: "Now I understand elephants." To continue to grow, a Jedi should train each day.

XVII. Integrity

A Jedi's responsibility to the Force is to be honest with himself. As long as the Jedi is not acting for his own self-interest and observes the Code, he is obeying the will of the Force. A Jedi can and should offer advice to those who need it. From a certain point of view, a Jedi is not being dishonest if he allows people to believe what they wish to believe. It is not incumbent upon the Jedi to convince anyone to follow his advice. When a Jedi is serving the Force, he may employ deception, subterfuge, misdirection, and even fraud, as long as he does so with a righteous aim. Do not confuse this with "moral flexibility." A Jedi does what needs to be done. But also remember that a Jedi is not above the law.

XVIII. Morality

Jedi Knights practice noninterference with differing cultures and while Jedi can bring or restore order and justice, they do not themselves sit in judgment of others as a rule. Judgment leads to vengeance, and vengeance leads to the Dark Side.Therefore, as a rule, Jedis are not enforcers of morality per se. However, at the same time, while not judges, Jedi can be mediators. It is a role they are suited for, and one that works in accordance with the Force since mediation leads to balance.

XIX. Engaging in Conflict

Conflict is a fact of life in the galaxy for far too many beings, and no Jedi can hope to remain apart from it. But a Jedi need not embrace conflict. "If a weapon you show, 'A warrior am I!' you say. And who is best must all other warriors know of you." So, to avoid unnecessary fighting, a Jedi should not advertise his skill. But when is it necessary to actively engage in conflict? The Force will show a Jedi when he has no other options, and a wise Jedi trusts the Force in this regard.

XX. Intervention

A Jedi Knight must not allow evil to take place once they become aware of its working. To remain aloof in situations where a Jedi's intervention would prevent the dark side from attaining another foothold is the same as helping it do so. This a Jedi Knight must never do. A True Jedi Knight must constantly be wary of his path, making certain he does not stray toward the dark side, but remains firm in the light. Therefore, when the situation warrants it, the Jedi acts as an extension of the Will of the Force, and is therefore sponsored and backed by that Will.

XXI. Harmonizing

The Path of the Jedi Knight is more than just a system of techniques for controlling, sensing, and altering the Force. It is a deep spiritual ideology of existence, a deeply meaningful and moving panoramic journey and path of the soul and spirit to fully embrace the Light, in which the individual sees his true nature as a part of a larger whole, and claims his own rightful place in the symbiotic whole of the way of things. A Jedi seeks to live in harmony with the universe, focusing on the most serious and intent discipline and gained spherical awareness to reach his goal. There are inherent temptations that seem to create conflict between nature and the mind, which mistakenly urge the Jedi to fall onto easier paths. This the Jedi strives to avoid at all costs, no matter how dear or how tempting. A Jedi should focus his efforts on creating harmony between all beings. They detest violence of any sort; and reluctantly engage in resolving in combat as a last resort when other attempts at conflict resolution have failed.

Jedi's Vow: "I am Jedi in my heart, and I am Jedi in my mind, Jedi in my soul, Jedi in my spirit, and Jedi in all that I do. I choose the path of Jedi as a way and means to the Light, to illumination. inner peace, calmness and resolution of spirit, and my profound allegiance to the Light. I vow to uphold the sayings here, and hereby devote my life to the cause of Jedi, on this day and date, ______________, that I in turn may earn the right to be called a true Jedi Knight, and will defend and honor the Light for which I serve."

Jediism Maxims: When Engaging in Conflict

1. Conquer the self and you will conquer the opponent.

2. The mind unmoved by external distraction produces physical mobility.

3. Mental bearing (calmness), not skill, is the sign of a matured Jedi, who is neither pompous nor arrogant

4. Conquering evil, not the opponent, is the essence of a Jedi victory.

5. An unpolished crystal does not shine; an undisciplined Jedi does not have brilliance. A Jedi should cultivate his min

A Higher Commitment to a Higher Order

Order of Jedi Priests Commitment:

On this day and date, __________, I, __________ choose to follow the path of the Jedi Knights, to embrace it with all my heart, to serve it and uphold its tenets, that I myself may be counted among the faithful and true.

I recognize the Force as being the golden thread of Light that ties together the truths of every major religion, philosophy, and meditative path. My quest is for illumination, and my service is to the Light side of the Force, the good, of which the Light comprises and which I fully embrace, uphold, serve and defend.

My path is not for personal gain, but for the Collective Will of the Force, of which I am a part. The path of Jedi is not a path of egotism, but through surrender to the Light Side of the Force, I in turn become strong with it.

Balance of the Force does not include attempts to simultaneously serve good and evil. I renounce my allegiance to the Dark Side and the collective evil thereof. I obey the laws of the land. If I disagree with any of them, I can therefore choose to enact lawful means to change them through gaining public support and through legislation - never through violence or breaking laws "for the greater good." Harming others to support a mindset of this kind breaks the code of conduct, and is grounds for termination and banishment from our bands.

I will never use what I have learned through the Jediism to harm others. If I am forced to defend myself, I shall, yet I acknowledge that the way of the Force is to defend - NEVER to attack. Altercations and violent misuse of the Force that compromise the tenets of this code can be contested in conference with the High Council, but it will be the final decision of the High Council as to any formal reprimand and/or banishment. I will never use the skills and knowledge of the Light Side to later serve the darkness. This betrayal of confidence shall insure banishment and the stripping of any title, rank or recognition. It is the highest form of dishonour.

I recognize and accept that a true Jedi will always strive to exercise tolerance and discourage fanaticism. I accept that social bigotry is a form of fanaticism - fanaticism is born of fear, "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering." Although I do not necessarily condon or condemn other religions or diverse lifestyles, I do hereby renounce bigotry and fanaticism, which I recognize is based on hate. I abhor terrorism, hate crimes, the violation of women, murder, and robbery. I agree that murder is the highest crime. I choose to serve the Light - not the Darkness which promote such in the mind and heart of the perpetrators who do such heinous and cowardly acts.

The Ways of the Light Side of the Force are Light, compassion, honor, humility, courage, and loyalty to the cause of Light. I choose this path and serve it with all my heart, mind and soul. My allegiance is to the Light.

If recommended by the High Council, I will submit to a teacher which the Council endorses to learn of the Ways of the Force, to become a Jedi Knight and uphold the tenets of my organization.

Force

The Force

One all-encompassing driving Force influences the destiny of the universe. An energy field generated by all living things, the Force surrounds and penetrates everything, binding the universe together. Universal balance - life and death, creation and destruction - is reflected in the Force, and thus is reflected from the Force back into the universe at large. The Force, for all the mystery and power it provides, is as much a part of the natural order as suns and planets and life itself.

The Force has as many mysteries as it has aspects. It may be a nonsentient energy field, the sum of all creation. It may be an eternal entity, knowing and unknowable. It may be both of these and more; it may be something else entirely. The only certain truth is that the Force exists and is omnipresent, and that's enough for most who study its various influences. From the Living Force to the Unifying Force, this mysterious energy field consists of a multitude of properties

The entire fabric of space is filled with the universal energy we call the Force. It is vibrant and alive, existing everywhere and through everything. It both is the Tao yet transcends it, and contains the elements of ki, chi, prana and spiritual light. With every breath, with every thought, heart beat and movement, the Force is present. Vibrant and radiant, bursting with life and energy, this huge untapped reservoir of energy we call the Force, when accepted as the valuable ally it is, can move with us, surround and penetrate us to the very core of being, and together move with with us when we accept the inherent Will of the Force to remove the blockages in life that prevent its full release in the matter cosmos.

The Force is an essential part of nature --- like energy or matter --- but it has yet to be quantified and analyzed. The Force is not to be understood in the same manner as the physical qualities of the universe. The laws of physics are observable; technology is predictable and readily controlled. The Force is neither controlled nor controlling --- it is a part of life itself; asking if it controls or can be controlled is like asking if a person controls his component cells or if they control him.
In many ways, serious attempts at comprehending the Force as both a tangible and intangible presence in life does have many parallels to the Taoist concepts of chi, the Shinto Buddhism's embracing of ki, as well as the Hindu understanding of prana: an energy that exists in, through and around us and is the very essence of life itself.

Chinese philosophers will talk about chi as a microcosmical 'matter-energy' which is fundamental in forming and governing the universe. Perhaps this is what George Lucas referred to in his brief yet somewhat insufficient explanation in The Phantom
Menace which makes reference to the 'Midichlorians' (the organisms which allow the Jedi to manipulate the Force.) And the traditional Chinese physician, usually also a Taoist by education, speaks about a microbiomaterial that circulates within the body, maintaining the living force that makes the body function.

Aikido, a Japanese martial art developed by master Mohirei Ueshiba earlier this century makes heavy use of the concept of ki, or as we know it now as the Living Force. Aikido is one of the more spiritual martial arts and has been considered as 'moving zen'. The name Aikido means 'the way of harmony of ki'. Spiritually oriented aikidokas believe that ki does exist as a physical entity and can be transmitted through space. They make use of concepts such as ki of the universe, extending ki, etc.

For the sake of simplicity, let's propose three simple definitions of ki:

1. Ki, or the Force: the principle that governs the universe AND the individual, the cosmic truth. This definition seems to embrace the totality of the Living Force as utilized by the Jedi Knights.

2. Ki, or the Force: the action from a particular state of mind and body that can have physical/psychological/physiological effect. This ki can be expressed, and hence, perceived through physical apprearance, behavior, and body language. Perhaps an explanation as to how one can wield the force if necessary to have a powerful effect on the weak-minded.

3. Ki: a combination of both (1) and (2).

According to a brief analysis of the writings and teachings of Saito, Yamada, Shioda, Homma, Nadeau and Dobson, the concept of ki, or as we know it as the living force, is discussed only briefly: "Ki: the vital force of the body ........ the ki of a person can be drawn in increasing amount from the universe. In practice, ki is directed before body movement takes place."

A short description of a series of exercises for the living Force (ki) flowing can be found in his later work "Aikido, its heart and appearance" where one "causes partner's ki to flow out (fluid)" and "calling out your partner's ki and linking it to yours".

In "The Ultimate Athlete", Leonard sensei describes a typical Energy-Body workshop pioneered by Nadeau sensei. The workshop begins with the assumption that "a field of energy exists in and around each human body". This energy is ki, "a single manifestation that includes emanations that can be measured by our present science, plus other esoteric or metaphorical amanations". One of the exercise in the workshop is "sensing the energy body" where partners stand with arms extending towards each other. When one 'feels' the energy from one's partner, one is asked to move apart to find out how far away one can still sense the energy connection.

According to Sensei Terry Dobson, ki (or the living force) also is one's "connection to all life, time, and space; nowness; and energy". As he wrote "It is possible for a liar or a cheat to use Aiki or any of otherfive attacks to responses and aim for a 'kill' or a 'win' over somebody who has made the mistake of attacking him. But strange things begin to happen to people who become involved with Attack-tics ... even the most mean spirited of people begin to relinquish their grasp on their aggression, lose their anger, and reconnect with the living force".

Prana and the Force

Prana is the cosmic principal of movement or energy. It is seen as the underlying cause of all the manifestation. Prana is the most subtle element of existence and yet the most apparent in its manifestation around us. Prana empowers all other forces in the universe, everything else is dependent on it, even the very creation itself. Prana is eternal movement, empowering the ever changing cosmos.

Prana has many different manifestations, from the most subtle to the gross manifestation of electricity. It is the power which enables us to think, to feel and to
hear. It is the first sound: OM. It manifests in the body as the five pranas: prana, udana, samana, apana and vyana. These five pranic forces govern all types of movement in the body; restrain and impel the mental activity; coordinate all the senses and help in the enjoyment of their objects; holds together different parts of the body; promote speech; enable touch and hearing; they are the cause of joy and courage; they stimulate the digestion; absorb the three humors; create the gross and subtle channels in the body; mold the shape of the embryo; and determine the length of the life span.

To sum it up, prana is the prime moving force in our body and in our universe. Prana is not breath, it is the power that enables us to breath. Prana is not "energy", it is what gives energy the power to be energy. Prana is not seen or unseen, yet it is observable by its actions. Prana is the power behind movement.

The Force as a Path to Personal Enlightenment

The Force is not the Cause, but the Effect - not necessarily God himself, but His creation (energy). The Force is energy that is freely given to all, like clay, to use or not to use. It is up to each of us to mold that clay, and through that molding, we decide what creation we construct with the energy, and to what end it serves. The Force is a vehicle which we can both manipulate and come to the ultimate decision on where the soul wishes to go (destiny). The Force is God's energy that permeates the Universe.

Many believe that the Will of Force's intent is for us to eventually seek the source of the Light from which the Force emanates - on our own accord - and become One with it. The Force can be used as a path that leads to God - or alternately, lead away from Him. The choice is ours, and ours alone. The Force is a choice that is given to us to choose our alliances, as an exercise in the gift of free will.

The Force can in itself comprise a pathway and a means that can lead the True Jedi to the Light - a path whose ultimate destination is to become One with the Source of that Light - God, the Creator, the First Cause, Supreme Being - whatever name we wish to assign, we speak of the same thing. There is a spark of that divine essence (Light) in each one of us, to which we refer to as Jedi - the True Inner Identity. It is up to each of us to tend that flame and expand it, both as a way to increase inner illumination, and as our service to life.

The Force and Free Will

Free will is a gift that was given to sentient beings - to you and I - the will to choose ones own destiny. Irregardless of whether that destiny serves the Light or serves the Darkness, it is choice that we all make moment by moment. We in essence choose our own destiny by choosing the destination for which we decide to devote our lives and fortunes.

Without the gift of free will - our lives would already be set. No determinism, no opposition, no free thought and coming to conclusions based on one's own analysis, one's own experience and the exercise of freedom and focused thought.

Without free will, our accomplishments would be meaningless. The love we have for the Creator - meaningless. For the decision was already made for us - no need to think or come up higher.

In the physical universe, Light is present in every atom which exists. The mental, emotional and spiritual quadrants also exist, yet at a much higher frequency than the matter cosmos, and simply because we cannot measure or monitor them accurately is not to say that they do not exist. They do exist. The Light (which comprises the Force, universal energy) which animates the Universe is neither good or evil - it is unqualified until qualified by sentient beings. by you and I. The question of good and evil are questions of ethics, not of positively or negatively charged components of atomic matter.

Like a prism which bends the physical light rays of the Sun into a rainbow of colors, the purity of those colors depends upon the purity of the vessel radiating them. Purifying a vessel for the express purpose of coming up higher so that we on our own accord become the transparent vessel to radiate the Light we were always meant to radiate (because that is our true destiny) means much more because WE chose it - not chosen for us by a superior deity - but of our own accord , through free will, we forge our path to the Light, to illumination in gratitude for the gift to choose.

I have made a decision many years ago to choose the Light. This is my choice, not one made for me because the Creator fears that I would not make that choice unless free will was stripped from me. This is a gift. We make choices each and every day of our lives regarding whom we truly serve - the Light, or the Darkness - the choice is ours to make.

Consider these things, and come over to the Light side of the Force, and serve it with all of your strength, heart, mind and soul.
