Jedi Academy

“There are four qualities that every individual must have to achieve success: a Monk’s patience, a Warrior’s courage, a Messiah's truth, and a Child’s imagination.” --Mace "Marcos" Flamel

NOTE: Society has not yet implemented the New World Order and the Jedi Academy does not quite exist. If you would like to be considered for the Academy, please submit your name under "issues" on the menu above.

A society benefits from youth channeled into responsible, intelligent, and gainful activity. (Present) education only gets as far as intelligent. The wasted youth in this culture is criminal. Youth are shiftless, hyperactive/depressive, zoned out, and drugged. This is unacceptable as it represents likely a billion dollars lost per week. -- all due to lack of leaders.

A Jedi Academy is envisioned that would accept students, aged 4 to 18 for training, would last a full summer (a week if implemented in Galaxy's Edge). It is not meant to replace school curriculum, which can be enhanced as desired with new knowledge of core curriculum and pedagogy.

Being a Jedi is for those who are dedicated to Eternal values, to the transcendental. People who want to pursue careers in politics or industry, want the easy way out with drugs or entertainment, or even those who are committed to relationship and family are not good fits for becoming a Jedi.

You won't become a full Jedi, but you will become more aware of yourself about the world which can help you to be chosen later in life.

Topics:

• Attention: The world as the Jedi sees it.
• Knowledge: Interfacing with that world, learning, and with respect.
• Action: How to use your life force to add value to all of your interactions.
• Safety Net: Learning an elite skill so you're always valuable in your society.
• Warning Signs: Catching fraudulent behavior and subtle sabotage.

Each individual's karma is different, what you get out of it can be very different from others. But at least by being more aware, you may be asked for more, and thereby being given more.

Body fitness, carrying yourself, watching the world and interacting with it, study. Just like the above 5 items, these things form a microcosm we'll cover each day, so that you can become a master -- a master of your own life.

Preparation: loose clothing, t-shirt, jeans or simple pants. A gi is accepted and good, but will need shoes for outdoor activities. Girls partitioned from boys but in the same class.

Some of the things I have you do are not for you, but for me to see where you are in the larger picture of the universe, so don't get too distracted thinking about what you're doing, but you can ask me questions after the exercise.

For those who can't be part of the Academy, the best advice at this time is to take responsibility, learn an elite skill, believe in GOD (the closest you can get to the Force in your world), and give back more than you take. Best of luck. and may you find your path.
