Change -Swimming up the Waterfall There’s a legend in Chinese Mythology that if a koi fish swims up a waterfall, it’ll become a dragon. Looking at what this entails for our own lives, what must we do to swim up that waterfall? What do we need to come to face to find it in ourselves to be able to swim up that waterfall? Reflection? Introspection? Tenacity? Some koi may not ever have the desire...

Knighthood & Accountability What example are you setting within the becoming when it comes to Knighthood? One of the responsibilities of a Knight is holding yourself accountable for where you’re not following through and addressing it. The principles we live by and the codes play a part in this. Recognition can be a part of being a knight, but in solely seeking the recognition, what does one a...

Tao's Chambers - Autonomy, Environments, and Jedi Conduct There are unwanted things that we do unknowingly. When we have the examples set in front of us, growing up, home environments, and crowds we’re a part of… don’t let us say what we need to say due to upbringing. We keep finding ourselves in situations with people, where when we need to speak up we don’t have the courage because in the past w...

Attitude, Perspective, Perception, and Truth

Passion & Principles How can passions to help others blind us, and steer us away from our principles? Having good principles initially, and staying grounded in that… how can being ambitious in our efforts cause us to lose sight of that? If our mission drives us in what we’re doing and we get caught up in that, leaving our principles behind, we can get tied up in it, and become something we wer...

Tao's Chambers - Principles & Intentions Hidden agendas and misleading people can turn away people from the Jedi community. Passion in some ways is a good thing, but it can also corrupt us. People who have their principles in order, and their character with their morals and ethics with good intentions… there can be times that individuals can get corrupted and take advantage of individuals who...

Tao's Chambers - Character & What We Hold Ourselves To We listed quotes anonymously to respect the privacy of those who responded to our original post. "By cultivating inner character, people could influence events but still accord with the greater of the Tao. Thus, the inner-outer dichotomy was involved. This school of thought and practice became later known as Taoism." -The Tao of Zen by Ray...

Tao's Chambers - Self Realization & Acceptance Part 2 How can we find ourselves in discomfort? Why would an aversion to discomfort be detrimental to growth? How can self-realization come of discomfort? How can our attitudes about discomfort help with self-realization? How are idealisms and external pressures resistant to our internal self-realizations, discomfort, and acceptance of that? How c...

Tao's Chambers - Self Realization & Acceptance (Part 1) We start out as one way, and through learning, adapting, and changing, we end up becoming something else. How we understand, see things, and respond… changes. We get into uncomfortable situations, and in that, we learn more and grow.

Tao's Chambers - Fidelity & Fortitude (Part 2)

Tao's Chambers - Fidelity & Fortitude (Part 1)

Ignorance & Knowledge When we think we’re solid, and we think we’re good with our morals and principles… things come up that with our human nature and we veer off… Also, what about the things we work really hard to get away from and we slip a bit? How about the little things that get us distracted from where we need to be? Sometimes in life we fall short of living up to our principles and we c...
