A New Hope....
The Galactic Alignment, which occurs 21st Dec 2012 on Winter Solstice is the famous end date of the Long Count Mayan Calendar and is the astronomical occurrence that is the end of an age and beginning of a new one. It is an amazing occurrence that happens only once every 26,000 years.
The Alignment occurs when the December solstice sun comes into alignment with the centre of our galaxy and is caused by the precession of the earth wobbling very slowly on its axis shifting the position of the equinoxes and solstices
It will be the dawn of a New Age and a "New Age" needs a "New religon", a fresh approach to Spiritual belief devoid of dogma and outdated Orthodox views.
We at The New Jedi Order believe that the up and coming Spiritual practice of Jedism can answer that call.
When nearly 400,000 residents of the UK (not to mention the millions worldwide) stated on their census froms that they were infact "Jedi" it was a mass subconscious message that people were disillusioned with the worlds exsisting religious mindset and it was a deep soulful cry for a new way, a new hope.
but is not Jedism just a silly notion based on a series of films?? i hear you ask..... well the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas are to the Jedi stories, like Jesus and his parables and the tales of Buddha, Khristna and Mohammod, the Jedi recognise the wisdom of theselegends and myths and notice the underlying priciples contained within them, the battle of Good verses Evil, of universaal connection, the notion of a Life force and the struggle of the human soul and suggest that the modern cinematic versions of this age old
wisdom regarding ethics and morals present in the Star Wars world are just a modern meduim in which to learn them, a new age form of Scripture perhaps?
the wisdom of the great teachers of the Spiritual path, Buddha, Jesus etc. has failed to engage our new techno generation but ask them of their understanding of the Force, of the destructive path of the darkside and of the great lessons they have learned as children from watching the "Star Wars Video Scriptures" and you will then realise that wisdom comes in many forms and foolish it is for Humanity to become stuck in the oppression that comes from not embracing change.
change is vital to evolution, from the past we must learn but leave it in the past we must, a new age is dawning and this new age will need a new understanding, a new religon, a modern Spiritual focus....... the Jedi path awaits you........
may the force be with you, always
