Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
within every leaf and every stone."
Native Great Prayer
“It is a stone which is not a stone. Into the street it is thrown by your servants, and children play with it. Yet no one prizes it. Common as dirt, it is everywhere to be found.” Adept
"I am the light which comes from all things, and to all things I return. Lift a leaf, and I am there; turn a stone,
and you shall find me there!"
Gospel of Thomas
Jungle is a mess of unpredictable life;
Imperials dare not travel.
Yes, it can be Tropical Rain Forest, Cloud Forest, Swamp,
Mangrove Thicket…
More important, Jungle is unchartered, uncontrolled, unclassified,
unknowable to Dwellers of Civilization.
Full of Mysteries and unnamed, evolving, competing Lifeforms.
It is where the Language and Knowledge of Authorities fail...
...where Kings, Priests, Armies, and Architects
submit to the Laws of Nature.
Even innermost Cities of Concrete turn Jungle;
Factories and Skyscrapers
turn Sanctuary for Predators and Parasites.
Some say Spirit is thus a Jungle as well.

Seven Stoic Laws of Nature:
MEMENTO MORI : Remember your Mortality
AMOR FATI : Love your Fate
PREMEDITATIO MALORUM : Expect Evil
SYMPATHEIA : Everything is part of You
SUMMUM BONUM : Seek the Highest Good
QUOD OBSTAT VIAE FIT VIA : The Obstacle is your Path
EGO INIMICUS: Ego is your Enemy
Strabo the Greek said Gymnosophists were
Forest Philosopher Physicians
in league with Magi, Druids, and Egyptian Priests.
The most Honorable among them lived Alone in the Wild,
away from Civilization, to study Health and Morality,
and the Nature of Humanity.
Amazonians in the Jungle have done this since Prehistory,
and even children can find the wisdom of the universe
in every leaf and under every stone.

Jedi Master Yoda is the epitome of the Jungle Magus.
Master of the Dagobah System.
Jungle Magi Fellowship is an attempt to Honor
the Knowledge of Stateless Peoples:
A Bridge - From the Temple, Farm, and Lab,
To the Nomads and Philosopher Physicians
of the Jungles, Forests, Deserts, and Wild Places of Earth,
where Empires cannot Survive.

for wide is the way
which leads to destruction."
