Just Jedi Keystones




The Keeper 2018
Just Jedi Keystones

We have spent time together discussing the various Key Stone's of the Jediism/Realism community. And we also discussed how these Key Stone's are applied in various works of extended documents both free as pdf's and those purchasable on Amazon.

But let us look inwards at our own group, Just Jedi, and explore what Just Jedi believes.

When I, The Keeper of Just Jedi - Developed the J.J. Belifes page, I honestly admit that I had no intentions of making Just Jedi it's very own individual practice. While i had played with ideas over the years, I found it was better to let the members maintain and develop their own beliefs without the group or order dictating it in any way. But as all things go around here....I doodled this one thing, that turned into another and then a little of this and a little of that turned into our own section of beliefs.

So with that said.

Just Jedi in no way expects, requires, or determines your abilities based around what is presented here. We meerly offer it as a point of reflection and concideration for those starting out on their Jedi Journey.

Just Jedi's Beliefs is wrapped up into a singular icon. The Tree of Just Jedi. By refering to the Tree we are referring to. The Force, The Jedi's Journey and a Jedi's Practice.

The purpose of this tree was in relation's to Just Jedi's Yoga Set "Force Salutations" Which is based around a couple different versions of the traditional "Sun Salutations" The force Salutations is broken down into three segments. The Trunk of the Tree, The Branches reaching up high, and the Roots digging down deep. Combined it creates a great stretch and flow of energy. To learn more about Force Salutations, you can acess that training: Here

Admitably, I fell in love with this imagery and wanted to make it more symbolic by applying a sense of "Moving Meditation" along with the Yoga practice. Something that students could reflect upon while transitioning from one pose to the other.

Thus was born our very own Key Stone's

What Is a "Jedi?"

Image
Today, there are many beliefs, philosophies and practices that defines "Jedi" a little differently from the other. “Jedi” itself is fractured and divided and even to this day splinter groups are still a common occurrence. One that is likely to never fade entirely.    No matter the differences. There are universally agreed upon standards that makes one a Jedi. A Jedi of today are not in any way associated with the Fiction of Star Wars A Jedi accepts the title as a natural part of who and what they are A Jedi upholds to a set of morally accepted codes (Key Stone’s - as defined by Just Jedi) A Jedi believes in The Force as a form of energy A Jedi trains in some fashion or another A Jedi agrees that all Jediist’s and/or Realist goes through some form of awakening/journey How these standards are applied is up to the group and/or individual that set’s forth to share what they practice. While the appearance, wording, layout and/or structure m

What Is The Difference To Cos players?

We actually get this question a lot. From new members to the community as well as from interviewers such as but not limited to: Student Projects, news reporters and documentary directors.... What is the difference? This question is often asked because (While not a requirement)  it is not unheard of for Jediists t o wear Jedi robes, train with toy lightsabers, and adopt fictional references such as   “May The Force Be With You” into their practices or chosen social behavior amongst each other. You will find these practices at Jedi Gatherings for Knighting Ceremonies or Weddings and in cases like the Chicago Jedi who attend Con’s, flash mobs, workshop’s and charitable events in full jedi like attire in order to participate in their local communities and also to get the word out that they are there. There are also  Individual member who found a deeper meanings to wearing the jedi robe’s for practice s like meditations and ceremonies or personal comfort.

Just Jedi's Second Key Stone: The Tree's Branches

Just Jedi 2018 Just Jedi's Second Key Stone: The Tree's Branches Next are the Branches, reaching high up to the sky and spreading outwards - stretching towards new sun rays. The J.J. Tree's Branches are the symbology of a Jedi's Journey. Inspired by Joseph Campbell's mono-myth we recognize that our greatest of Key Stone's is the ability to experience it in action. It is one thing to say a Jedi is honorable, but a other to experience honor and to express it to other's. That is where a Jedi truely understands what it means and where it holds purpose. As such our Branches has three supporting limbs and their off shoot's Inspiration Beginnings Desire Mentor Initiation Doubt Encounter Struggles Apprenticeship Trials Adaption Reward And finally, as a Jedi's Journey goes full circle.
