The Qualities of a Jedi
These are five qualities taken from a blend of certain Taoist and Confucionist principles. We believe they apply equally to the Jedi path. They are not so much goals to be pursued as they are natural states that should arise within.
i. Human-heartedness: the display of human qualities at their best. A deep feeling of humanity towards others and respect for yourself. The ability to be curteous, selfless and gifted with empathy.
ii. Superior Attitude: to be fully adequate and poised at all times. to be so comfortable with one's self and life, that one can turn their attention to putting others at ease. Motivated not by what you can get, but by how you can serve.
iii. Propriety: doing things as they should be done, according to tradition. Tradition allows a stable base from which to approach any situation. This is also why we support Jedi unity. Unity establishes tradition. Before a base is able to support you, you must construct it.
iv. Moral Power: to be honest, honourable, and to lead by example. Not to tell others what they should do, but show them a way they want to follow because they respect your morals, and see that you practice what you preach.
v. Creative Quietude: the ability to be at peace with whatever is going on. The ability to engage in any level of activity, or no activity at all, and not lose your inner peace.
Do you feel you possess at least three (3) of the afore-mentioned qualities? If so, please indicate below.
