Random Building Thoughts - 2021-06-29

 
-------------- FIGHT FOR IT!  --------------  
 

Should you want 
to Freely Express your Thoughts 
and Without Pushback from Others who Disagree, 
you must Fight for their Right
 to do the very Same.
 
-------------- WHACKING --------------  

 
Sound Advice to the New Initiate:
 
Don't go Whacking anything off 
until you have a Firm Grasp 
on Vices & Superfluities.
Know what you're Whacking at!
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
  
While a life of good work done
 in itself brings wages, 
the ultimate wage is to have lived 
a good life.

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 

All thoughts are Patterns. 
 
1) When these Patterns are Beneficially Constructive and Harmonious with Life, one Contributes and Obtains Value from Life.
2) When these Patterns are not, one Creates and Obtains Rubbish.
3) When one Increases the Frequency of either, one merely bring forth more of the same faster, when the cause and effect are linear and unconstrained. That's because Frequency has NOTHING to do with Pattern other than its repetition speed. 
 
There is almost always an upper limit to this beyond which diminished returns occur. The only improvement one can make to this Frequency is to find a Balance in what needs to occur and how fast one can and should make things so. 
 
When you Choose to Vibrate, make sure you Choose a Pattern that's Worthwhile to all Involved.
 
-------------- BE AWARE --------------  
 
 
 Proficiency has very little to do 
with the storage and retrieval of information. 
Any suitable container serves this purpose. 
For Proficiency to be beneficial, 
one must know what one has stored 
and have beneficial purpose in retrieving it. 
 Without Awareness of the Value of what is Contained within,
 Intended Light remains Locked Away.
 
-------------- RUFFIAN --------------   
 
 
-------------- CONTEXT! --------------   
 
 
 
If Freemasonry has Taught Me Anything 
about the Light To which it Alludes, 
It's "Context is Everything!"
 
(BTW - The two dotted squares are identical in color!)
 
-------------- CHOOSE! --------------  
 
 
 
Choose to be Happy; 
Choose the Meaning of your Life. 
Then BE that which you have Chosen 
and do so without Wavering!
 
  -------------- SEEK! -------------- 
 

 If you're searching for
that one person who will
change your life,
take a look in the mirror!

 Oh the hours 
I have spent 
reminding myself 
of these words.
 
-------------- STILL HOODWINKED? --------------  



When you don't get this simple understanding, 
you'll pursue Freemasonry hoodwinked. 
 
-------
 
When you believe that your Brothers
 shall provide you all the Light that you need, 
then only study what you are handed. 
 
When you want more, 
use the materials that you are handed 
as a guide for further exploration. 
 
Keep in mind that Freemasonic Ritual 
(and all related Training) 
is only an Introduction to Masonry. 
It is not Masonry itself.

-------------- TAKE THEM! -------------- 
 
 
 Conversation does not Make 
you a Better Man. 
Worthwhile Discourse 
that Drives you toward 
taking Improving Actions does.
 
-------------- IS THIS YOU? --------------  
 

The Brother asked for an appropriate resource! 
He did not ask for advice as to what he should do! 
 
Were you Listening?
 
For Further Light:
LISTEN
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
 
“The dark night of the soul
comes just before revelation.
When everything is lost,
and all seems darkness,
then comes the new life
and all that is needed.”

-- Joseph Campbell,
“A Joseph Campbell Companion:
Reflections on the Art of Living. p. 39


-------------- LOGIC --------------  
 
 

 A Gentle Reminder 
to Engage your Argument Training 
when Constructing your Arguments 
or Evaluating those of Others!
 
-------------- FALLACIES! --------------    
 
 
A Burden of Proof Fallacy aka Tu quoque (Appealing to Hypocrisy)
 
--------------------------
 
THIS IS WHY CRITICAL THINKING AND LOGIC ARE NO LONGER TAUGHT. 
Idiots would be spotted, confronted and dispensed with appropriately!
 
--------------------------
 
FROM: Etymology. Kafka +‎ trap, 
coined as a noun kafkatrapping in 2010
 by Eric Raymond in reference to Franz Kafka's story 
The Trial (Der Proceß, published 1925), 
in which a man is accused of crimes 
that are never specified.

-------------- SCIENCE! --------------   


-------------- MUSIC! --------------  


FILED UNDER: When Grammar & Music Collide!

I'm planning to eat a plate of ♩♬♬ soon.

Guess what it is!

 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
