Jediism is not the same as that which is
portrayed within the Star Wars Saga by George Lucas and Lucasfilm
LTD. George Lucas' Jedi™ are fictional characters that exist
within a literary and cinematic universe. The Jedi™
discussed within this website refer to factual people within this world
that live or lived their lives according to Jediism, of which we
recognize and work together as a community to both cultivate and
celebrate. Jedi™ Apprentices, Knights, Commanders, Scholars, Masters,
Scribes and High Councilors embrace Jediism as a real living, breathing
religion, and sincerely strive to seek out and emulate real life
examples of Jediism in the long rich history of mankind. Jediism bases
less of its focus on myth and fiction, and more upon those real life
examples of Jediism.
The history of the path of Jediism
traverses thought which is well over 5,000 years old. It shares many
themes embraced in Hinduism, Confucionism, Buddhism, Gnosticism,
Stoicism, Catholicism, Taoism, Shinto, Modern Mysticism, the Way of the
Shaolin Monks, the Knight's Code of Chivalry and the Samurai Warriors.
We recognize that many times the answers to mankind's problems comes
from within the purified hearts of genuine seekers of truth. Theology,
philosophy and religious doctrine can facilitate this process, but we
believe that it would be a futile exercise for any belief system to
claim to hold all the answers to all the serious questions posed to
seekers of truth in the 21st century. Jediism may help facilitate this
process, yet we also acknowledge that it is up to the true believer who
applies the universal truths inherent within Jediism to find the
answers they seek.
