I was going through some old stuff on the computer and found this. I don't know where it came from, but I though it was interesting.
* A Jedi does not worship the Force, but does heed it and listen to its wisdom.
* Treat those who are further along than you with parental respect and heed them well, for they are there to guide and help you, not to hinder and belittle you.
* We believe that all beings are part of the Force. As such, all Jedi are part of the same Order, even if they are part of a specific sub-sect or group of Jedi.
* It is alright to be proud of being a Jedi, but be ever-mindful not to slip into a pool of vanity.
* Speak little and listen much. Reserve judgment until all facts are in.
* Do not gossip about fellow Jedi or hold any malice against them.
* Do not lie.
* Be nonjudgmental.
* Keep your word to your fellow Jedi.
* Never use the Jedi Ways to do harm.
* Never betray your fellow Jedi, rather, embrace the virtues of honor and wisdom.
* Never speak with your mouth what is not in your heart.
* Never speak ill of others.
* All Jedi must follow the laws of the land.
* Never accept money for performing the tasks you undertake in service to the force or the Order.
* Never steal
* Honor all people and respect them.
* Never accept the pledge of anyone’s life.
* Remember no one should die without dignity, love and respect. Act accordingly.
* It is up to each Jedi to maintain their personal energy within the Force.
* Respect your knowledge and skills, yourself and your energy, and the Jedi Ways.
* Stay physically and mentally fit.
* Each Jedi should keep a personal journal.
* As Jedi we study Jedi Lore as we would any Mythology. We do not take it as gospel but as a guidepost.
* As Jedi we often will sacrifice some personal pleasure for the good of all.
* While Jedi may use the force to help themselves, it is never done only for personal gain. But instead we help ourselves so that we may help others.
* Sometimes, silence and secrecy are needed in order to preserve the Jedi ways.
* Educate those who want to learn, but let knowledge and wisdom be your guide.
* If a member of the Order needs your aid, give it when you can as long as in doing so it serves the will of the Force and does not cause you unbearable hardship.
* Educate those whose hearts are true and their intentions honest.
* All Jedi must strive to achieve harmony within themselves.
* In disputes involving Jedi against Jedi, only a tribunal of Elders may pass judgment.
* Guests of the Order are to be treated as part of the Order community.
* Members of the Order who do not wish to work towards learning the Jedi Ways should be turned away from the Order.
* A gift given to any Jedi for services done as a duty of the Order is a gift given to the Order.
* The Force may be used to prevent others from coming to harm.
* Elders will settle all differences within the Order, and do so using common sense and justice.
* As Jedi when you mediate quarrels between others, you should hear both sides privately, and then together. If no agreement can be reached, then seek to find the best answer for all involved.
* Those guilty of wrongdoing without knowledge are held innocent; those guilty of wrongdoing by reckless behavior will be dealt with according to the nature of the offenses; those guilty of intentional wrongdoing shall be punished by the laws of the Order.
* Teachers of the Jedi Ways must possess the virtues of ability, belief, wisdom, humility, knowledge, leadership and patience as well as have a calm nature.
