ROCK YOU!

-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Any structure
intended to hold you back
rather than support your further growth
is counter-productive.

"Many come to Masonry looking for "something".
Very few ever learn
that the thing they came looking for
was themselves."

Neither Map nor Untrained Reader

For Further Light:
-------------- SOMETHING OTHER --------------
to Provide Betterment to men,
it must first be
Connected to something
other than Itself.
When it is fixated solely upon
itself,
you Engage in a Fruitless Illusion
that brings nothing but Woe.
When you don't Take Care in what you Commit yourself,
your Efforts
shall have you going around in Circles
that Provide nothing more than
Entertainment
to outside observers
and Support to those
who want you
Distracted.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
It's
a terrible shame that the word, Master",
doesn't have the same
significance within the Fraternity
as it does within the Craft.
-------------- MYTH --------------
“The Hero Path
"We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.
"And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”

Question
#13: An Apprentice whom you are responsible for assisting comes to you
and says he wants to improve himself in Masonry and wants a task list
upon which he can Work. You have such a list. What is on it?
Question #14: How do you discover and uncover the true interests of an Apprentice?
...
"Still further change occurred with the conversion of the Craft.
Its focus went from cultivating masterful craftsmen
who used their skills to generate revenues
to cultivating paying members
who use their skill to bring in new members.
It was no longer necessary
to assure that new members came from superior stock.
All that was necessary
was they were free enough
to be trained to bring others into membership.
Due to that shift in focus,
Mastery took on an entirely different meaning and direction."
