While doing some searching today, I came across some posts by jedidiahknyte, and since he's never complained before about me quoting him, I thought I'd share this with everyone else. Part of the reason I'm looking up stuff like the following is to try and remind myself what it was like in the earlier days of Jediism online, since the last 4 or 5 years haven't been all that great to be around the online community in general.
And, Jim, if you don't like it, just let me know and I'll get rid of the topic.

I Love You!

Dear gentlefriend and much beloved Spark Vallen,
Greetings! I Love You!
I owe much of my Enlightenment to you, and will always have great respect and admiration for you, for it was you that drew me out of my solitude and contemplation more than a year ago, and involved me in Jediism, which led me to the Enlightened state I now enjoy. I can never thank you sufficiently. As to the New Jedi Alliance, that's just a term that came to me spontaneously as I sought to put into words that which I hope to be the future of the Tao of the Jedi. It remains for all of us to build towards it. As for myself, I am going to expend my energy in the 'real' world, building a stone Jedi Temple on my property in North Carolina. When that is completed, I will protect it with iron-clad covenants, sell the remainder of the ten acres, and move on to Florida, where I will buy land and repeat the procedure. Finishing there, Tao willing, I will do it again in Arizona. These will be real, physical structures in the real physical world. I believe the electronic environment to be too vulnerable, and I wish to accomplish something of permanence, at least for a few thousand years. You have my contact information. The Jedi Knights of Canada declined my offer to address the Jedi Community Council because I did not represent a "pillar website." So be it. May the Force be with You!
I have Temples to build!

My dear gentlefriend Spark,
Hello! I Love You!
As to the planned Temples- when I sell the property, they will be excepted, easemented, registered as Holy Places, and protected with Restrictive Covenants stating explicitly that they may never be sold, moved, or destroyed. Same sort of thing that protects old graveyards, etc. Of course, these restrictions will only hold so long as the Laws of Men are enforced, so I hope to build them solid enough so that they will, in and of themselves, be extremely difficult to molest. I haven't got it all worked out yet, and I'm sure new ideas will occur to me during the building process. I have one foot in this Temporal Reality, and the other in the Spirit Plane now, so this world holds little of interest to me, materially. Think of these structures as 'focal points.' They will be open to all, absolutely free of charge, and I hope the Jedi of future generations may find them useful. As the Tao says" Work is done, then forgotten, therefore it lasts forever."
