My interest in the real-life Jedi community has mainly been in finding a community where training and development is pursued without being too tangled up in historical problems or ideologies. Star Wars captured my imagination in early childhood, and extensive comparative religion training has taught me that the philosophy behind it is as real as any other cultural expression of life...and this one is straight out of my culture.
As far as aspects go, the Taoist influence makes balance and responsiveness to the complexity of life very important to me, and my previous traditions have stressed that dark and light work together in the natural way (which is my model for everything). I look forward to getting to know folks here and learning more about how the Force Academy approaches the work. (I also joined the Discord, but don't have permissions yet.) Good training to all, whatever your path!
