Terminology

Various terms throughout our website and documentation have been borrowed from different philosophies, some as old as 3000 years, other quite recent. Some of these terms were used in the movie series StarWars. We wish to respect the legal rights of its owners, and we will be sober in the use of terms used in these movies.

We encourage our members to purchase StarWars products to inspire themselves in their own inner quest. Watch it, play it, own it. Yet, our order is down-to-earth, realist, and our philosophy is inspired by ancient philosophies that past the test of time, such as Daoism, Buddhism, Hinduist, Christianity, Kabbalah, and others.


The Force

Jediism is a philosophy and religion based on the personal cultivation of our relationship with The Force. The term “Force” was used up to 3000 years ago by the Daoist immortals, and was made first popular in a Chinese text written in the 6th century BC. The text is entitled “Tao te King”, and can be translated in various manners, such as “The way of the Force”.

The term “Force” was used in Hinduism as a quality and power of the divinity Indra, lord of minor gods, various aspects of the unique unnamed God. The Force was call in Sanskrit “Vajra”, and described in the same was that we describe the Force in Jediism. The Force was also called “Ka”, as a property of Vishnu, the One God united with the creator Bramha and the transformer Shiva.

The ways of Jediism are mostly inspired by Buddhism and Taoism. Although modern movies are useful for inspiration, we do not base our ways on science fiction, but on the true inner culture of the Force.


Jediism

The term “Jediism” is obviously inspired by the word “Jedi” made popular by the science-fiction movies. In the members section, in our private forum, and behind closed doors, we have the right to use any term we wish. However, on our public façade, we will respect the law and seldom use terms that are subject to legal debate, out of respect for Lucasfilm upon their request.
