Jediism, The Religion Of The Jedi, The Force is strong with this one... Options

Just when you think you've seen it all...

While many see it as a joke, a small minority of people have truly adopted "The Force" as their religion and its early practitioners called it "Jedi," as George Lucas didn't give a name for the religion that the Sith and Jedi practiced. Though a new movement has decided to call it "Jediism."

This has got me thinking. What if more people started to believe in it? What if in 20 or 30 years enough devout followers adopted this as their religion that their combined faith and energy pooled together to bring the Force into existence? Do you think it would come into existence? If it did, would you try to master its ways? Merely hypothetical conjecture for now, as, in my opinion, it is too new of a religion to have any real power. But what about in a few decades? Lucas did admit that he based most of his ideas for the Force on Taoism.

Your thoughts?

Jediism as a religion as many above have already stated was taken by Lucas from many sources western and eastern. It has been adapted by many, myself included as has much in common with the magick that we here practice.

Many Jedi take the veiw of the later Jedi (think Lukes day) of a more neutral and non-dual force, which aligns the jedi idea of the force, even more with magick.

I would say definitely don't discount it.

May the Force be With You,
