Random Building Thoughts - 2021-05-23

 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
So, be Honest. 
Did the Education Provided to you by your Lodge 
Train your Mind to Think 
or just Require you to Recall things 
that Require little to no Thinking? 

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
 
Don't get Locked In the Shadows 
of Those Who Block the Light.  
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 

 Yes, 
there is no Blue Lodge Fairy 
Gifting "Mystical Blessings" 
that Make you a Better Man. 
Betterment Always Requires Work! 
 
-------------- CAVES OF OUR MAKING --------------  
 
 
Allegory of the Cave
Modern Edition circa 1960s
(It's far worse now!)

 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
"This, I believe, is the great Western truth: 
that each of us is a completely unique creature 
and that, if we are ever to give any gift to the world, 
it will have to come out of our own experience 
and fulfillment of our own potentialities, 
not someone else’s."
-- Joseph Campbell, 
The Power of Myth 

-------------- QUESTIONS EA SHOULD KNOW HOW TO ANSWER --------------

Question #6: What does the Checkered Pavement have to do with the Apprentice Work?
Question #7: What diligent process does an Apprentice go through to determine what's most important to him?
