-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
-------------- HUMOR -------------- (Hat top to Bro. Edwin Lamour!)
-------------- MISSING THE MARK --------------
-------------- MEMORIZATION --------------
Memorization should NOT be abandoned.
It is however quite clear that in far too many cases
Proficiency has degraded to Memorization without Understanding.
The Foundation must be laid for any Building to Rise firmly.
Memorization is but the beginning of that Building process.
The problem is that typically
nothing is Built upon that Foundation
once it is laid.
Memory Work
-------------- LOGIC --------------
Abductive Reasoning at its best!
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
You can't Honestly call yourself
"a Builder"
when you Don't "Build"
with the Blueprints you Memorized.
-------------- MYTH --------------
Sit in a room
and read–
and read and read.
And read the right books
by
the right people.
Your mind is brought onto that level,
and you have a
nice,
mild,
slow-burning rapture
all the time.
-- Joseph Campbell
-------------- RUFF --------------
Three Blind Men, Three Blind Men
See how they Ruff, See how they Ruff!
They Ruffed right after The Master’s Word
But misunderstood What remained unheard
Did you ever See Such ignorance Assured
As Three Blind Men?
For Further Light:
RUFF!
-------------- CONSTITUTIONAL CATECHISM --------------
There shall be no better time
to read up on this,
before books like this
are forever removed from public eyes.
-------------- TEMPERANCE! -------------- "The problem with people who have no vices
is that generally you can be pretty sure
they're going to have some
pretty annoying virtues."
-- Elizabeth Taylor
-------------- MISLEADING --------------
(WARNING!: Think twice before you assume this is quoting ritual
HINT: It is NOT quoting Ritual!)
FILED UNDER: A STUDY IN FRATERNAL IGNORANCE & ASSUMPTIONS.
My Brother,
did you not comprehend the significance of the statement,
"...it becomes my duty to inform you that
you are not yet a Master Mason,
and it is doubtful whether you ever will be..."
when you first heard it?
