Argenteum Astrum

Facilitate, encourage, and promote the Jedi Order as a spiritual path through life. Our way is primarily based upon Buddhism and Hermetic Traditions & Principles. As the belief in Jesus defines Christians; How, we see the Force defines us as Jedi. May vis exsisto vobis. 

Our way involves both physical and mental exercise, in the disciplines of art, arithmetic, history, and science. Our websiteprovides an easy and structured online introduction to the common philosophy of The Jedi Order, as suggested by Trepe and other members. We encourage everyone to share their thoughts, and help facilitate, encourage, and promote the Jedi Order. We encourage others to be critical of our belief and simply ask for an open mind. Our website represents a serious attempt at exploring philosophical issues of the Force/Chi, as handled by the leading philosophers themselves, and in the context of their times. The Jedi Order is timeless, as the Jedi draw their influence from Buddha, Confucius, and the Shaolin teachings from Temples of ancient China, and it is relevant to all.

We are students of the Force; And, that through study of ourselves, we will gain a better understanding of the world around us, or rather the Force. We believe that George Lucas, may have unknowingly, created a vision of the Force, or Chi, that draws from both Buddhist and Christian beliefs, in his fictional story. So that is why we use the word Force and Jedi. We are merely following in the tradition of many other Shaolin Temples in a quest to better understand ourselves, and the Force. Through better understanding ourselves we gain insight into the Force.

The Force is inside of us, it binds and holds everything together. There are three principle planes of existence. There is the Divine Plane of existence. There is the Spiritual Plane of existence. Then there is the Prime Material. The Force is all things and thus it is balance. It is both good and evil. It is light and dark together at the same time. There is beauty in all things. Only through through love, and forgiveness, are we truly able to embrace the Force and reach our true potential.
