Getting started

Post by MavrikManna »

At the beginning.
The 6 questions with the first set of beliefs:

The questions to answer on each master are:

1. How do the actions of that master demonstrate ‘A’?
2. In what order does the master do ‘B’?
3. How important was it that the order of actions, ‘C’, be done the way they were?
4. How does ‘C’ show the masters’ belief in ‘A’?
5. What other beliefs does that master demonstrate through his/her actions and words?
6. What else have I learned from the beliefs, actions and words of that master?

belief set 1
A That God is a supreme being to be loved and worshiped
B Worshiped God in some way
C Fasting for a purpose, prayer, and meditation, was devoutly spiritual in an observable way. Made and attended churches, made priests to teach, praised and adored God
D (Moroni 10:32) {memorization # 2, 18}

What Jedi Master have you chosen?

Keep in mind that the answers to belief set 1 can be entirely different depending on your personal emphasis and point of view.
The force will be with you...always. 🙌 🙇🏻‍♀️

Re: Getting started ~ Nephi

Post by MavrikManna »

Your answers can be the same or different. you answer in your own journals according to how you see it. The answers are not for comparison, although you may share if you like.

Here is one answer set for the Qs for belief set 1 using Nephi:

🧘‍♂️ Jedi Master Nephi: A Disciple of the Spirit and the Supreme Being

1. How do the actions of that master demonstrate ‘A’?
(A: That God is a supreme being to be loved and worshiped)
Nephi’s actions consistently show that he places God at the very center of his life—far above family approval, safety, or even cultural expectations. From the moment he says “I will go and do,” Nephi reveals that obedience and worship are inseparable for him. He worships through trust, sacrifice, and a lifestyle that shows reverence, not just belief.
His faith isn’t passive—it’s powerful, like a Jedi’s trust in the Force but deeper, because it’s grounded in a relationship with the divine.

2. In what order does the master do ‘B’?
(B: Worshiped God in some way)
Nephi follows a distinct spiritual rhythm:
1. He listens to prophetic direction (from Lehi).
2. He asks, prays, and seeks personal revelation (1 Nephi 2:16).
3. He acts in obedience—retrieving the plates, building the ship, etc.
4. He builds places of worship and institutes formal teaching (2 Nephi 5:26).
5. He leads others to praise and adore God, often quoting Isaiah and prophesying of Christ.
This order—seek, receive, act, build, teach—mirrors both a disciple’s and a master’s path.

3. How important was it that the order of actions, ‘C’, be done the way they were?
(C: Fasting, prayer, meditation, building churches, appointing priests, praising God, etc.)
The order matters deeply, because it reveals progression:
• Nephi doesn't start by teaching others—he starts by communing with God.
• He doesn’t build temples or ordain teachers until he’s led by personal revelation and obedience.
• His outward devotion (temples, worship, teaching) is rooted in inner spiritual alignment.
If he’d reversed the order—trying to lead before receiving direction—it would’ve mirrored Laman and Lemuel’s confusion rather than divine purpose.
Like a Jedi who must be centered in the Force before wielding power, Nephi's strength comes from inward submission to God.

4. How does ‘C’ show the master’s belief in ‘A’?
Everything Nephi does in "C" reflects his core belief that God is to be loved, praised, and obeyed:
• Fasting shows his humility and focus on divine will.
• Prayer and meditation reflect trust and alignment.
• Building temples and appointing priests show he wants others to worship, not just himself.
• His public praise of God (including scriptural quotation and writing) reveals deep reverence, not just leadership.
Nephi doesn’t just believe God is supreme—he lives as if that’s the only truth that matters.

5. What other beliefs does that master demonstrate through his actions and words?
Nephi shows many core beliefs:
• God gives commandments for our benefit, not just to test us.
• Obedience brings revelation—even when we don’t understand fully.
• Christ is the center—he preaches of the Messiah centuries before His coming (2 Nephi 25:26).
• Teaching truth is a sacred duty, not just a leadership role.
• Spiritual effort (like scripture study and temple building) is worth every sacrifice.

6. What else have I learned from the beliefs, actions and words of that master?
Nephi teaches me that worship is not a once-a-week activity—it’s a lifestyle of spiritual readiness. His life reminds me that:
• I should seek the Lord first in private before trying to lead in public.
• Devotion involves both heartfelt connection and visible action.
• There is power in ritual and structure when it’s built on a foundation of revelation.
And perhaps most beautifully, Nephi teaches this:
Even when surrounded by doubt, complaint, or resistance (his own family!), you can still walk in the Spirit and lead in light.

🛡️ Final Thought:
“Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him…” (Moroni 10:32)
That’s the ultimate goal of a Jedi master like Nephi—not power, not control—but spiritual transformation.
The force will be with you...always. 🙌 🙇🏻‍♀️

Re: Getting started - Ammon

Post by MavrikManna »

🌟 Jedi Master Ammon – The Lone Servant Who Transformed a Nation
“He chose to walk into enemy territory—alone—with a servant’s heart.”

1. How do the actions of that master demonstrate ‘A’?
(That God is a supreme being to be loved and worshiped)
Ammon worshiped God not by preaching from a pulpit, but by stepping into danger alone, led only by love and the Spirit. His willingness to live among the Lamanites—not to conquer, but to serve—was an act of trust and adoration toward a God he knew was greater than any earthly fear.

2. In what order does the master worship God (‘B’)?
(Worshiped God in some way)
1. He turns away from sin and begins to seek God (Mosiah 27).
2. He refuses the throne and chooses a missionary path (Mosiah 29).
3. He enters enemy territory alone, trusting only in the Lord (Alma 17:7–11, 13).
4. He fasts, prays, and prepares spiritually (Alma 17:9).
5. He serves as a humble servant, not a preacher or warrior (Alma 17:25).
6. He defends with power, teaches with the Spirit, and glorifies God—not self (Alma 18–26).

3. Why was the order of ‘C’ (Ammon’s actions) so important?
The order mattered because it revealed his heart:
Ammon didn’t enter with a sermon—he entered alone, as a servant, and without expecting praise or protection.
If he had led with power, he would’ve been rejected. But his humble service earned trust. His spiritual preparation came before any visible miracles.
Like a true Jedi, Ammon trained in the quiet, trusted the Master, and only revealed his strength when absolutely needed.

4. How do Ammon’s actions (‘C’) show his belief in God (‘A’)?
He believed God was supreme—worthy of abandoning comfort, power, and protection.
He didn’t need an army. He didn’t need validation.
He needed only the Spirit—and that was enough.
“I will be thy servant.” (Alma 17:25) — a powerful declaration of faith in a God who lifts the lowly.

5. What other beliefs did he demonstrate through his actions and words?
• That he knew he could rely on his spiritual gifts as long as he remained righteous.
• That strength is meant for protection, not domination.
• That spiritual preparation matters more than title or position.
• That miracles follow those who trust in God as they walk alone with the Spirit.

6. What else have I learned from this master’s lonely, faithful path?
Ammon shows me that sometimes the greatest acts of faith happen in isolation.
He wasn’t surrounded by his own people—he stood alone, in enemy territory, offering service instead of resistance. That is true spiritual mastery.
A Jedi in spirit, a disciple in truth.
His strength was not only in his arm—but in his submission to God.

🛡️ Scripture Echo:
“I desire to dwell among this people for a time; yea, and perhaps until the day I die.”
(Alma 17:23)

Re: Getting started - Gideon

Post by MavrikManna »

and my other fav...

🌌 Jedi Master Gideon – The Guardian Who Stood Alone
“He drew his sword alone—not to rule, but to restore righteousness.”

1. How do the actions of that master demonstrate ‘A’?
(That God is a supreme being to be loved and worshiped)
Gideon’s love for God was shown not in sermons, but in righteous confrontation. He stood alone against King Noah—knowing full well the danger—and later faced Nehor alone, defending truth. He believed that God’s law was higher than man’s fear.

2. In what order does the master worship God (‘B’)?
1. He confronts a wicked king, risking his life to stop oppression (Mosiah 19:4).
2. He becomes a spiritual counselor, not a self-seeking leader (Mosiah 22:3–9).
3. He helps liberate an entire city through wisdom and courage.
4. He continues as a righteous servant under Limhi and Alma.
5. He confronts Nehor—a false teacher—alone and without fear (Alma 1:7–9).
6. He dies defending doctrine, not defending himself.

3. Why was the order of ‘C’ so important?
Gideon’s story shows us that personal courage can lead to public influence.
He didn’t start as a leader—he acted when no one else would.
His wisdom and actions were built on a foundation of personal integrity.
Gideon’s power came not from position, but from choosing to stand when others stood silent.

4. How does ‘C’ show belief in ‘A’?
Gideon believed in a God of justice, truth, and priesthood order.
He fought not for fame, but for righteousness.
He didn’t wait for permission—he acted, knowing God’s law outweighed any earthly risk.

5. What other beliefs does this master demonstrate?
• That truth must be defended—even when no one stands beside you.
• That righteous action sometimes looks like confrontation.
• That defending the faith is worth more than defending your life.
• That being “strong in the Lord” is quiet but unshakable.

6. What else have I learned from this master’s lonely, faithful path?
Gideon teaches me that faith is truly a principal of power. His faith caused him to stand with courage for truth’s sake.
He wasn’t the loudest voice in the room, but he was always the one doing the right thing—even if it cost him everything.
He is the quiet Jedi Knight archetype—the one who dies standing, not kneeling.
He didn’t need applause. He needed truth to be upheld.

🛡️ Scripture Echo:
“He was an instrument in the hands of God…”
(Alma 1:9)
