FAQ

What is a Jedi?
A Jedi is someone who believes in an energy that surrounds, binds, penetrates, and encompasses all living things. A Jedi believes in the greater good, and always tries to follow the light or positive energy. Jedi do not discriminate, all are welcome.

What is Jediism?
Jediism is a term inspired by films created by Mr. George Lucas. However, Jediism is not fiction. Our ways are based on ancient wisdom as well as modern philosophies. Our ways are modern adaptations of Taoism and Buddhism. We encourage activities that cultivate physical and mental health, such as martial arts and meditation. It is not required to be a warrior to be a member of the Order of the Jedi.

Is this a religion or an ideological movement?
Jediism is a philosophy above all, and we use this Order to get together, to stay in touch, to share our united view of life and the Force. There are various religious institutions, for those who wish to go further in the religious, clerical path. The Order of the Jedi is opened to the clerical path.

What kind of concepts do you teach?
The list could go on and on, as we are constantly adding teachings. A few of our current teachings include Meditation, Self Awareness, Sensory Enhancement, and Visualization.

What is the difference between Jediism and other mainstream religions?
Most of today’s mainstream religions focus only on their religion. Jedi believe in Experiential Wisdom (the wisdom of knowledge through experience), Jedi are fully aware that the stories written are fiction, and understand the lessons behind those stories are very real. Jedi also believe that all religions have truth, and are not bound to our Doctrine only. Jedi are encouraged to learn as much as they can about others in order to increase their knowledge.

When joining the Jedi to I have to give up any other religion I am attached to?
Absolutely not. You may remain a member of your prefered religion, and study the tenets of Jediism on the philosophical level. We do not believe in exclusivity. Each is the rightful owner of their mind, thoughts and feelings.

What’s the difference between the Star Wars Jedi and the real-life Jedi?
A Star Wars Jedi lives on many different planets, travels in advanced spacecrafts, and yields a lightsaber. A real life Jedi lives on earth, travels in many different ways, and is taught self defence with modern day weapons such as kendo sword, a bo staff, a samurai sword, a katana and others. Both train to seek improvement of themselves and those they surround.

 

Can anyone become Jedi?
Anyone can become a guest, to browse the members section, or become an official lay member, with no condition to meet. To advance in the clergy, requirements are mostly philosophical, and are developped in depth in the members section.

How much does it cost to be a member?
It costs nothing to join. We have a donations section for those who wish to donate to our cause, but nothing is mandatory. One's own evolution and spiritual path must not be limited by their financial situation. Those who make offerings are blessed by the Force for they cover the fees for others to study for free.

How do you meet if you do not have a church?
We are in an ero of science and technology. We use various web tools to meet online, such as email, skype, and a video conference system. Members recieve email invitations to public web events.

What are the advantages of membership?
For each individual the advantages will differ. As with any religion there will be members whose dedication will run deeper than others. You will be given the opportunity to expand your knowledge, and understand yourself better.
