-------------- CHARACTER --------------
"...Masonry imposes upon us these duties
that it is properly and significantly styled work;
and he who imagines that he becomes a Mason
by merely taking the first two or three Degrees,
and that he may,
having leisurely stepped upon that small elevation,
thenceforward worthily wear the honors of Masonry,
without labor or exertion, or self-denial or sacrifice,
and that there is nothing to be done in Masonry,
is strangely deceived."
– Bro. Albert Pike

-------------- IGNORANCE --------------
"The greatest enemy of knowledge
is not ignorance,
it is the illusion of knowledge."
-- DANIEL BOORSTIN
“Knowing a concept wrongly
“Knowing a concept wrongly
is more dangerous
than skipping a concept”

-------------- LAST REFUGE --------------
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
-- Salvor Hardin (Isaac Asimov)
(Hat tip to Brother Corey Mathews!)
-------------- MAPS --------------
"If words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure, and structure alone. ...The only usefulness of map or a language depends on the similarity of structure between the empirical world and the map-languages.”
— Alfred Korzybski
For a map to be useful,
one must have map reading skills.
If you can't read a map,
you're still chained to the cave walls.

There's a startling ambiguity that Masons experience
-------------- DRIVE --------------
There's a startling ambiguity that Masons experience
when first they taste true
Light
and discover that it is never provided by others;
it must be
self-obtained.
This mix of emotions can often times overwhelm!
This
lasts only briefly though
since such encounters with Light
inevitably
drive them forward for more.
-------------- STILL BURIED --------------
It's clear to Masons
that only a select few
have uncovered
what is still Buried in the Rubbish
for many.
-------------- MYTH --------------
"It's through life
that one is to experience the spirit
and communicate the spirit
and live in the spirit."
- Joseph Campbell
that one is to experience the spirit
and communicate the spirit
and live in the spirit."
- Joseph Campbell
-------------- EXPERT --------------
COACH QUESTION: SO MOTE IT BE...
If you were to listen to an expert on this phrase,
what questions would you want answered about it
so that you walked away satisfied with your investment of time?
-------------- ACCOUNTABILITY --------------
Old Story...
God: Did you eat that apple?
Adam: THAT woman that YOU gave me tempted me!!!!!

Garden!
