-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE --------------
Many within the Craft have heard the term "Irreligious Libertine" and they seem to know immediately what that implies. But, when faced with a change in direction, they are confronted with something that challenges their preconceived notions as to possibilities. Such is what is presented by changing the word "Irreligious" to "religious" in the term.
YOUR CHALLENGE (should you agree to accept it):
Explain separately what "IRRELIGIOUS LIBERTINE" and "RELIGIOUS LIBERTINE" mean to you while making every earnest and sincere effort to keep sex out of your explanation!
-------------- PERFECTING --------------
To
do the Initial Masonic Work, one must first Work upon one's Heart and
then one's Head, in this Order. For this purpose, the Working Tools of
the first Degree are assumed to be two in the American Rite. Each
require specific Actions to take place to Perfect (Mature) the Ashlar
before its Raising. Establishment of Virtues, Circumscription and
Subduing of Passions and Desires, Divestment of Vices &
Superfluities, and Establishment of Time Management, are among the many
Activities Designed and Intended to Perfect the Ashlar and ready it for
Raising (Second Degree Work). In addition to these Perfecting
activities, the Fellow Craft Working Tools are Developed during the
First Degree Work. Sure, one may eventually possess them, but one shall
not know how to use the Second Degree Working Tools unless one Develops
them through the Work of the First Degree.

-------------- EGO --------------
“How to get rid of ego as dictator and turn it into messenger and servant and scout, to be in your service, is the trick.”
― Joseph Campbell
I'm with Joe on this.Ego is the mediator between the ID and the Super Ego. It has purpose and one would be foolish to rid oneself of it. Can you imagine a world ruled by IDs and Super Egos? But wait! Are we not there already? Perhaps maturing the Egos of the world should be our collective new direction.
