-------------- HUMOR --------------
Master Masons are charged
to help, aid, assist and correct their Brothers;
not fix them.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
All the Preparation on earth
will not Change a Reaction to a Response,
unless you Execute what you had Practiced
in that Critical Moment of
Decision.
-------------- LEARNING --------------
You Entirely Miss the Point of Education
When you have yet to Learn How to Learn.
-------------- TRAVEL --------------
When You Can't Travel,You Miss Many Rich Lessons.
When You Don't Travel, You Miss the Entire Point.
When You Don't Travel, You Miss the Entire Point.
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
In Case you Missed it... You Are the Point!
Don't ever Forget to Remember this Always!
-------------- DRIVE --------------
As long as Lodges Continue to Strap themselves to Debt,
Money, and by implied default Membership,
shall Drive Lodges.
-------------- KEEP CALM --------------
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Soon after the Premier Grand Lodge meeting in 1717, that one degree (EA) was split in two parts thus creating the now EA and FC degrees and the master's part (the original FC) was substituted with the second half of the original split degree (EA - second half).
That second half became the basis of our current FC degree.
The master's part (the original FC) was initially put aside but was eventually brought back into use after being Dramatically augmented to become our current MM degree. This augmented High Degree was not required Initially by members to enjoy full membership but only became so as other fabricated High Degrees were added to what was already offered to the membership.
But we don't have any Innovations!
-------------- MYTH --------------
"My
feeling is that mythic forms reveal themselves gradually in the course
of your life if you know what they are and how to pay attention to their
emergence.
My own initiation into the mythic depths of the unconscious
has been through the mind, through the books that surround me in this
library.
I have recognized in my quest all the stages of the hero’s
journey.
I had my calls to adventure, my guides, demons, and
illuminations."
– “Man and Myth:
A Conversation with Joseph Campbell,
” Psychology Today, July 1971
-------------- PURSUIT --------------
Pursuing "Eureka!":
a task best left to those radically unsatisfied
with mundane superficialities.
-------------- WORKING MATERIALS --------------
- Chalk (Freedom->Choice)
is what we come in with. - Clay (Zeal->Obligation)
is what is provided for us through our Altar experience. - Charcoal (Fervency->Work)
is pointed toward by our Brothers and ignited
when the first two (Chalk and Clay) are genuine.
All must be present
and in agreement for Proper Transformation.
(What Pattern do you see?)
