Keepers were the Jedi of the Ancient World.

Keepers used to be not just friends and protectors of the Asetians, but also like a special force of the Aset Ka, entrusted with the most bizzarre missions, that could be enlightening or simply unethical as an assassination. However they were mostly used in missions to protect specific Asetians, especially important Elders.

I can see many parallels between the Keepers of the Aset Ka and the Jedi of StarWars.

What do you think?

I have never thought about that in such a perspective. But doesn't seem to be a ridiculous parallel, I believe I can see it that way...

I am curious about the opinion from someone more knowledgeable into the subject of Keepers.

Greetings.

I actually laughed a bit. I think that's a funny comparison...
Anyway, I agree with what you said. Keepers were more than that, but they also were what you said.

Jedi is cool. *lol*

Best regards,

Although I personally dislike this kind of comparisons, between something as serious, complex and historical with something from fiction, I can understand what you mean with the parallel you drew. Unlike what Jonathan said, I have already been approached with this idea, since it has been made in other occasions and under the same light of the Keepers.

Keepers are beings of a developed sense of spirituality and highly meditative natures. Many of them were powerful sorcerers, and also great in the secret abilities of dueling, fighting and war. The elite of the Keepers were fearless beings and quite deadly, therefore also your parallel with Jedis. They were entrusted with the protection and safeguard of many Asetians. Being ultimately loyal to the Asetian family and committed to their missions.
Also, Keepers in the old days used to be organized into the Council of Anubis. A secretive sect inside the Aset Ka structure that was responsible for the organization of the Keepers lineage and society, their formation and guidance, as long as to properly answer to the demands of the Asetian Empire when it came to the services of the Children of Anubis.

But we cannot forget a hugely important factor. We cannot forget that there was, and still is, a sect in the Aset Ka known as the Imperial Guard. Those were the real elite forces from the Order, and their secret services.
Although I can see countless missions, and even assassinations, being easily accomplished by the Keepers, we must never forget that the Imperial Guard was the most feared and devastating metaphysical force, as well as physical army, to ever put their feet on this Earth.

Still, Keepers are highly honorable beings, ultimately loyal to the Asetians and very feared among many sects of the underground. They are effective and wise. And their ethereal ways may remind us those of the Jedis.

I am curious to more people's opinions on this. It is a weird, but still interesting debate, if taken with maturity and an open mind.

Just a small note.

I don't really see why you'd describe an assassination as being unethical. I think it would highly depend on the context. Being a direct order, it would become unethical, from the point of view of a Keeper, to disobey. Besides being unethical, it would be non-sense.

Best wishes.

Since this thread caught my attention I must say that i did search for Star Wars series and saw them again to be sure , and yes there are lots of parallels one can make .
Especially it caught my attention their phrase 'May the Force be with You “ which is similar with the Asetian “May the Ka be with your Ba “
The similarity between Seth and Sith .
And how in the last series , The Force is forgotten and seen like just an old myth, which many don't trust .
Until they feel it !
(This was like deja vu .)
Lord of the Rings series is another example of parallels with the Asetian past .
In fact we can clearly see many parallels especially in literature and visual arts .
And this was emphasized also in the Asetian Bible- i think we all noticed the many excerpts from world literature of different ages (which for some seemed unusual )
I think the list of parallels is really vast.
Another fact is the knowledge kids are receiving from cartoon series , which i am sure many parents don't notice because don't have the time , don't have the knowledge or are not aware .You mustn't be surprised when a kid comes to you , looks inside the book you're reading and tells you : this is Aset i know her , and if you pay attention, you notice the same kid has knowledge about vampires ,chakras , energy work or shamanic practices about which if you ask the parents ,they don't !
It looks like stealth and silent knowledge existing in everything , or permeating everything , not only in the actual times but also in the past .I am curious how do you feel about this ? Is it conscious information from the authors ? Channeled information ? Intentional ?Simple coincidence ?
I would like to know your thoughts about this .
