-------------- MIND QUARRIES --------------
If
you Wait to be Handed
The Kind of Light you Truly Need,
You'd be Dead
on the Sidelines,
Rather than Live and Thrive
In the Quarries of your
Mind.
Seek the Light!
-------------- TIME --------------
"Know the true value of time;
snatch, seize and enjoy every moment of it.
No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination;
never put off till tomorrow what can be done today."
-- Lord Chesterfield
(Hat Tip to Bro. Mike Moore!)

-------------- SHADOW DANCING --------------
Masonic
Light Makes Possible
the Shadows that Dance upon Freemasonic Walls.
Masons Seek to Know this Light
and What Causes the Shadows.
Seek It!
-------------- BLUEPRINTS... --------------
Masonry is about Building Builders.
Freemasonry provides the Blueprints for
this end
with the caveat that Blueprints
do more harm than good when
ignored, misapplied or misused.
Learn to Read them!
and then use them!
-------------- ROOTS --------------
REGULAR
[Origin] regular (adj.) late 14c., from Old French reguler "ecclesiastical" (Modern French régulier), from Late Latin regularis "containing rules for guidance," from Latin regula "rule," from PIE *reg- "move in a straight line" (see regal). Earliest sense was of religious orders (the opposite of secular). Extended from late 16c. to shapes, etc., that followed predictable or uniform patterns; sense of "normal" is from 1630s; meaning "real, genuine" is from 1821. Old English borrowed Latin regula and nativized it as regol "rule, regulation, canon, law, standard, pattern;" hence regolsticca "ruler" (instrument); regollic (adj.) "canonical,
regular."regular (n.) c. 1400, "member of a religious order," from regular (adj.). Sense of "soldier of a standing army" is from 1756. Meaning "regular customer" is from 1852; meaning "leaded gasoline" is from 1978.

-------------- MYTH --------------
"It is important to know how old you are in spiritual development, where you are on this path. The function of initiations is to commit one’s whole psychological pitch to the requirements of a particular stage in life.
The big initiation is when one has to leave the psychology of childhood behind: the death of the infantile ego, which is dependent and obedient, and the birth of the self-reliant adult participating in the society."
– Joseph Campbell,
A Joseph Campbell Companion, p. 84
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
<sigh> You tell 'em Brother Jerry!
It
is a terrible shame
that the word "Master"
has not the same
significance
within the Fraternity
that is does within the Craft.
Know what Master actually is!
Become that Master!
-------------- BEAUTY --------------
When Cunning Craftsmanship
leaves a Temple,
Mastery has too.
Make sure Master
LIVES in your Temple!
-------------- RUBBISH --------------
Ruffians
are very costly.
They kill Beauty.
They also Bury it in Rubbish
so that
what remains
is not recognizable or visible to anyone.
No matter what
efforts are made
to Beautify any Temple,
Ruffians shall ruin its image
every time
and without waiver.
Stay Clear of Ruffians!
-------------- DEADLINES --------------
Freemasonry
has shown me
that Dying is merely Growing Old
with a Deadline
while
Masonry showed me
that Living is Accomplishing something Worthwhile
before that Deadline is Reached!
Live Masonicly!
Mutual
recognition of Jurisdictions and visitations only
on the Grand
Communication(s) level
between The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of
Florida Free
and Accepted Masons and The Most Worshipful Union
of Grand
Lodge Jurisdiction of Florida,
Belize, Central America, Incorporated,
Prince Hall Affiliated.
Two Years Into It!
-------------- THE CAVE PROBLEM --------------
The
Problem is Freemasonry
is not being taught
that it is only a ROAD MAP
and that Masonry is the TERRITORY
that this Map represents.
As a result,
very few are willing
to explore this Territory;
less actually do.
And
when they do,
and they come back
to try to discuss what they have seen,
they are thought to be madmen.
Take Care in what Pearls you share...
