-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE ---------------

 

BACKGROUND & UPDATE: This challenge came up as a result of a 3 year quest. Two years later the questions have been addressed, written about and published in the book: THE CRAFT PERFECTED
------------------

A group of candidates have confusion. They tell you their lecture says "perfect ashlar" but several have identified excerpts from Prestonian lectures stating the "smooth ashlar" as one of the jewels.
1) You are tasked with tracking down a FULL and COMPLETE version of the actual Lecture where Preston uses "smooth ashlar". Do this.
2) You are tasked with explaining, based upon his lecture, the difference between the smooth ashlar and the perfect ashlar. Write up the explanation.
3) You are tasked with finding out the source of Preston's smooth ashlar reference. Find it!

Seek not to unmask others. Seek to unmask yourself and lead the way for others so inclined. Such Light is addictive to prepared souls; repulsive to those not.

-------------- MYTH ---------------

"My magnificent master and great friend of many years ago, Heinrich Zimmer (1890-1943), had a
saying: 'The best things can’t be told: the second best are misunderstood.' The second best are misunderstood because, as metaphors poetically of what cannot be told, they are misread prosaically as referring to tangible facts."
– Joseph Campbell
The Inner Reaches of Outer Space (p. xxiii)
