Census Appeal
If you are reading this and you were one of those free-spirited people who for whatever reason listed “Jedi” or “Jedi Knight” as your religion on the 2001 census, or any census, I do hope you will get in touch with me. There may have been a reason why you did that. I would love to hear your story. Details of how to contact me and how to join the Church of Jediism if you feel inspired can be found on the next page.
The Church of Jediism
If you have read the book to this point it’s very possible you are a Jediist at heart and you want to take control of your life and be a force for positive change in the world. I truly hope you will join the Church of Jediism and become a practitioner by following the five-pillar training programme offered there. Then, once you have completed your training you will pass your wisdom on to others, because helping others is what Jediists do. In this way we change the world, one Jediist at a time, starting with you.
About the Church of Jediism
The international Church of Jediism connects people from all backgrounds and ages with one goal and that is to understand the true meaning of their lives and discover their full potential. You don’t have to change your religion or drop a certain belief (some Jediists are deeply religious, others are atheists) or even have an in-depth knowledge of the Star Wars universe to become a part of the Church of Jediism. We are here to help you awaken and find your own unique path to your own unique truth by offering you suggestions and signposts rather than commands.
When you join our church you will find that we believe in infinite possibilities, and we work with you and offer training and guidelines to change your life for the better. We promote the path of harmony with the Force through finding happiness by helping others. One day, if enough of us become the Force, we will have created a New World in which there is no discrimination, no violence, no cruelty and no poverty. The Church of Jediism is focused on unifying people all over the world in order to help them learn how to use the power of the Force within and around them to achieve this goal.

The Church of Jediist Technology
The Church of Jediism was founded online, and Jediists use and harness online technology as spiritual aids. Like the Force, the online world has a dark and a light side but as Jediists we always focus on the light. We regard the internet as a tremendously exciting force for education, progress and for good, and it can become a force for positive transformation if enough Jediist-minded people are involved in it.
We live in an online world and the spiritual revolution will occur online and so we encourage all new members to become internet fluent and to learn about technology and app development. Our website has a specialist Jediist technology portal with Jediist apps and progressive self-development apps we endorse as well as opportunities for members to develop their technology skills and create and develop their own Jediist apps with us.
Becoming a Jediist Master
When you join our website there will be levels to progress through that will unlock different features and forums on the site. We do this to encourage learning and self-development, and to ensure that when you progress to another level you have sufficient knowledge and understanding to make the most of that level. The goal of the five-pillar training is to achieve Jediist Master status but as with everything in life the journey is the destination. Our aim on the website is to make that journey engaging and fun and we value and appreciate all your feedback if you decide to work through the five-pillar Jediist Master training programme with us.
Throughout your journey with us there will always be opportunities to connect with the church and fellow Jediists all around the world, as well as myself and the church mission and training teams, to discuss your progress and your dreams. We feel blessed and honoured by your trust in us. We will return that trust by devoting ourselves to helping you awaken your potential and finding your meaning and purpose in life – because when you are awakened you truly do become the Force.
The meaning of your life is to find your meaning. The purpose of your life is to help others.
