Random Building Thoughts - 2020-12-17

-------------- HUMOR --------------

-------------- DIVEST! --------------

-------------- HEROES --------------

"Whether we listen with aloof amusement to the dreamlike mumbo jumbo of some red-eyed witch doctor of the Congo, or read with cultivated rapture thin translations from the sonnets of the mysterious Lao-tze; now and again crack the hard nutshell of an argument of Aquinas, or catch suddenly the shining meaning of a bizarre Eskimo fairy tale: it will always be the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find, together with a challengingly persistent suggestion of more remaining to be experienced than will ever be known or told."

Joseph Campbell, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" (Third edition, with revisions, copyright © 2008 Joseph Campbell Foundation; Second edition, with revisions, copyright © 1968 Princeton University Press; original edition copyright © 1949 Bollingen Foundation), p.1

-------------- LIMITED --------------

So many men come into Freemasonry Believing

that words are things that you can speak, spell or write down.

When they do Masonic Work,

they come to find how Limited their Beliefs actually are.

-------------- TEASE --------------

-------------- STRUCTURE --------------

Words are but Symbols used upon the Psyche's Map

to convey a Territory that is only Represented by that Map,

but isn't That which Represents It.

They are used solely to Model a Perceived Reality.

When those words become flesh,

you have a whole new Experience of that very Model.

-------------- AN INTRODUCTION --------------

-------------- BOOK REVIEW --------------

"...Brother John S. Nagy simply stunned me with
his findings. The analytical research he compiled
backs up his claims so logically that it's hard to
refute. ... In a clearly understandable writing style
of short chapters and short bursts of information,
Nagy answered many questions – and
disillusionments – I've had since joining Freemasonry
over a decade ago. ..."
– Bro. Michael Karpovage

-------------- MATURITY --------------

Masonry shows men that Life is to be Lived both Knowledgably and Maturely;
this includes Mastering their Vices & Superfluities
enough to enjoy other Aspects of Life that are far more worthy of their attention.
