Random Building Thoughts - 2021-07-15

 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
To what length do you go 
to get Brothers to come back to lodge? 
Does your passion go beyond 
what should be clearly circumscribed?
Shouldn't that tell you 
that you have gone too far?

-------------- RAISE IT! --------------  
 

 
THE SEVEN LIBERAL ARTS & SCIENCES
 
TRIVIUM - Three Fold Path/Way - Word Modeling
 
1) Grammar - Strength - Building Blocks - How to symbolically represent using Words
2) Logic - Wisdom - Discerning Truth From Fallacy
3) Rhetoric - Beauty - Development of meta-understanding - going beyond the Literal! (Word Math!)
 
-----------------------
 
QUADRIVIUM - Four Fold Path/Way - Number Modeling
 
1) Arithmetic - Strength - Building Blocks - How to symbolically represent using Numbers
2) Geometry - Wisdom - Conveying Numbers in Space - Used as a Bridge to Music using Trigonometry
3) Music - Wisdom - Conveying Numbers in Time - Used as a Bridge to Astronomy using Wave functions that produce Orbital Functions
4) Astronomy - Beauty - Conveying Numbers in Time and Space - Developing the ability to Discern the past and Predict the future using Symbols appearing as Numbers (Number Rhetoric!)
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
The Little Voices Inside My Head 
Tell Me Not to Place Any Trust
 in Those People Who Ignore Theirs.
  
Strange how that works...
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 
Express Lane Freemasonry!
 
Otherwise known by Ruffians and Cowans
as "URAFM"
which requires that you 
only fill in the check box.  
 
-------------- SKEWED PLUMB --------------   
 
 
 Selective Retroactive Condemnation 
is any Activity that 
Identifies Specific Well-Known Deceased Individuals 
who Practiced the Accepted Standards of their Day 
and Deliberately Condemns them 
Based upon a Trendy Modern Day Topic 
while Purposefully Ignoring Other Viable Targets.
 
-------------- WORK TYPE --------------  
 
 
There is a type of Work 
in which a man endeavors 
that makes it impossible to bury him 
when his body gives up his ghost.
 
 -------------- TRAIN IT! --------------  


Doing Apprentice Work 
Trains your Heart 
to be the Mediator between 
your Brain & Hands. 
Untrained hearts 
make for unbelievably 
lousy negotiators!
 
For Further Light:
Training!
 
-------------- FREEDOM... -------------- 
 
 
"You are always free 
to change your mind 
and choose a different future, 
or a different past."
-- Richard Bach

 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 

"The minute we stop believing 
that everything unpleasant that happens to us
 is someone else's fault, 
everything will change." 
-- Daniel Doen Silberberg
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

“When we quit thinking 
primarily about ourselves 
and our own self-preservation, 
we undergo a truly heroic 
transformation of consciousness.”
Joseph Campbell 


-------------- STONES --------------  
 
 
Let me let you in on My Secret?
 
Build with the stones haters throw at you. 
There's no better resource to draw from 
since they'll provide to you 
the heaviest and hardest stones 
from which to choose.

-------------- RUFFIAN --------------  
 
 
You may be a Ruffian if…
...you have yet to develop 
a realistic sense, prospective and use 
of time 
& its respective tools.
 
-------------- OLDIE BUT GOODIE! -------------- 


-------------- ARITHMETIC -------------- 
 

 
-------------- EMOTIONS -------------- 


Masonry teaches us that people 
who get caught up in emotions 
(Passions and Desires) 
and who haven't learned to subdue
 (properly guide/direct) 
them toward proper ends, 
shall suffer needlessly
 -- and rightfully so! 
 
Such people are "stuck" and, 
as it so happens, 
are in Pain because of it. 
They shall have no success leaving Emotions behind 
because they have yet to listen to what their Souls are telling 
-- often times screaming at -- 
them. 
This pain is their soul 
beseeching them to listen to the Wisdom being offered! 
These people may try to fool themselves 
by summary dismissal attempts, 
but no one can leave behind their Soul 
and venture forth successfully. 
Their Travel becomes torturous.

There cannot ever be any true theology or philosophy without emotions. 
When you know what Emotions are 
and what they do for you, 
you shall agree with this most Fervently.

A good start is Emotional Awareness! For Further Light:

 -------------- MUSINGS -------------- 

If the Twenty-Four Inch Gauge Working Tool has taught me anything it is that I must engage in Professions that Provide Service to both God and humankind if I am to maximize the use of hours in my day.
 
If the Beehive has taught me anything it's that you can preserve the insanity and Bitter the Sweetness or you can up-serve the humanity and Sweeten the Betterness. You can't possibly do both.
 
 -------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
