Jedi Order
The way that can be walked is not The Way.
The name that can be named is not the Name.
Tao is both named and nameless.
As named and nameless, it is the mother and father of all things.
--Tao Te Ching, v1.
The following material is for the next generation. It comes from guides pieced together from "a long time ago in a galaxy far away". Try not to be distracted by its rough edges. The first thing you need to know: Truth is the basis of Power. What follows are some dreams you may turn into Truths; that is, a mix fantasy and reality. Perhaps they'll point themselves out to you as you start to believe and you'll make it real....
The Jedi orders itself for the purposes of serving the whole of the living universe. It is given recognition for its utility in the service to the prophesy on your dollar -- Novus Ordo Seclorum. You could say the Jedi Order are a dream of that prophesy that can be utilized for fixing and holding the world, since there will be no military in a world democracy. The Jedi have no creed, yet maintain a reverential stance towards something transcendental they call the Force.
The Force is the invisible hand that guides world events. The Jedi Order abide with this force so that they can tip the scales towards higher ideals. It also is how they live in harmony with the whole with efficient precision. They are the butterflies in the system: minute local changers that move everything towards greater harmony and order.
The Jedi are the supercells in the body of Man, keeping the system in balance, like the immune system of the body. They are inconspicuous, quiet, precisely focussed, and hold the knowledge of the whole.
Your present world polarizes science vs. religion. Imagine science plus religion and you have the Jedi. The Jedi is the only realistic scenario built out of all other superhero possibilities. And there is no future without both. The Force/the Tao has already contemplated this in making the New World Order prophesy: it is a secular prophesy, yet is made after the forces of the Divine resolve.
The Jedi Order are not mercenaries for hire. They institute order by higher wisdom through agreements within the soul itself. They can be called on for resolving and understanding conflicts, getting greater production out of a population to justify expenditures, to consult on ecosystem imbalances, and even to assist in a pain-free childbirth and bringing in new life.
They don't carry a weapon, except to be more available to the Universe for any purpose may be called for, as a demonstration of their personal dedication. They have no vendetta nor personal mission, so any use of items beyond their person is an expression of the Force itself.
If you are a youth, interested in exploring this path, try the Kids` Creed.
May the Force Be With You,
Exar Kuhn, Jedi Master

If you're Gen X or older, you're too late for this, instead FOLLOW THE PLAN.

The Jedi will relocate the Taj-mahal temple to be coincident with the location of the future Earth-side spaceport, for the Cygnus-8 system. That will probably be somewhere near Dutchland (aka Holland) where Denmark gets closest to it.
Where use of the term "Jedi", consider this evolved from the old Jedi orders and integrated with the wisdom gained by interactions with the Sith and the Emperor, who represented the darkness, now revealed, of the Universe.
