Random Building Thoughts - 2021-03-29

 
-------------- WELL? --------------  
 
 
Are you a scholar or a parrot?
 
Scholar (noun)
 
1. a specialist in a particular branch of study; a distinguished academic. 
 
[synonyms: academic, intellectual, learned person, man/woman of letters, mind, intellect, savant, polymath, highbrow, bluestocking; authority, expert; (informal) egghead]
 
• archaic - a person who is highly educated or has an aptitude for study.
 
2. a student holding a scholarship.
 
• archaic - a student. [synonyms: student, pupil, schoolchild, schoolboy, schoolgirl]
 
Origin: Old English scol(i)ere ‘schoolchild, student,’ from late Latin scholaris, from Latin schola
 
When you go strictly by what is currently accepted by those who are described by what is currently accepted as the dominant definition, you possibly miss accepting what was accepted in the past as acceptable too.
 
Context and intent are everything when it comes to understanding what is being communicated. When you miss the context and intent of the content, you are most likely also missing the point of the communications.
 
When you are actively engaged in the Work that Ritual directs you toward, you ARE a Scholar, and you ARE practicing Scholarship! When you merely cut and paste what others have said, with no expression of personalized thought or understanding as to its relevance to you and others, you are a repeater.
 
-------------- TENETS... --------------  
 

FILED UNDER: 
Don't ever lose sight of the intent 
of the Masonry practiced within Freemasonry!
 
-------------- FAITHS... --------------  
 
 
A Brother Asks: Why do so many Freemasons inherently associate 
the Craft with any one specific religion?
  
For Further Light:
FAITHS...
  
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

What is unknown is the fulfillment of your own unique life,
 the likes of which has never existed on earth. 
And you are the only one who can do it. 
People can give you clues how to fall and when to stand, 
and when you are falling and when you are standing, 
this only you can know. 
And in the way of your own talents is the only way to do it. 
- Joseph Campbell  
 
 
 
-------------- LIFETIME! --------------  
 

Each Degree takes about 90 minutes.
 The Work that each Degree points toward 
takes a lifetime! 
 
 -------------- KEEP IT DUST FREE!! --------------  
 
 
-------------- EMPOWERMENT -------------- 


Empowerment comes from Engaged minds 
Actively Asking That which is Uncommonly Asked, 
Actively Seeking That which is Uncommonly Sought, 
and Actively Knocking upon that which is Uncommonly Knocked upon.
 
Entitlement is not a sign of Progression toward Empowerment; 
it's a sign of Stagnation toward Impotency.
 
-------------- WITHOUT DEEP ROOTS... --------------  
 

-------------- TEST! --------------  
 
 
Ask yourself what would Occur for the Craft 
if more Brothers would Actively Heed this Sage Advice 
when it comes to Mastery.
 
-------------- END --------------  

 Be Well and Travel Light!
