-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
true story...
----------------
The Reason there are so few Teachers of the Craft
is that so few of the Craft are Students.
----------------
A Craft never Practiced remains unimproved indefinitely;
A Brother Uninvested remains stalled at Improvement's door.
----------------
Rote Freemasonry does only one thing: Preserve the Code. Imagining that it does anything else is merely corrupt Speculation.
----------------
There is no Better Esoteric Path start than that of Doing the Work pointed toward by the First Degree; such Work Properly Prepares you for Rough and Rugged Travels, beset with Immoralities of every kind. Let the foolish beware and the ghoulish despair when beginning this journey elsewhere; such starts lead to sinister snares, viper pits and deadly ends.
----------------
However, the First Degree does not Prepare you to Learn any more than attending a Workshop of Body Building shall get you Better Fit Physically. Only doing the Work that the First Degree Directs you toward shall Prepare you to Learn, just like only Working those Muscles is the only way to Better your Physical Fitness.
----------------
The Second Degree does not Teach you how to Learn any more than strapping yourself onto a kite shall teach you how to fly. Only doing the Work that the Second Degree Directs you toward shall bring about what is necessary for you to Learn how to Learn, thereby Laying the Proper Foundation for you to Soar!
----------------
Experiencing the Third Degree does not give you any Credibility to Learn or Teach any more that attending a Lecture Licenses you to Lecture. Only Proficiently Doing the Work that the First Two Degrees Direct you toward gives you any Credibility toward these ends, just like Preparing to Lecture lays the Foundation for what is to follow.
And repeating back words that you were instructed to memorize without full understanding of them, does not qualify you as proficient in anything other than learning a script.
----------------
The first milestone and true success of esoteric study ends loneliness forever! The disadvantage of this success is that you want to share it with everyone and most are not, and may never be, ready for the same.
----------------
Your esoteric Success is utterly dependent upon your esoteric Work. Should you succeed, few shall realize it; fewer shall know why.
----------------
The most ironic aspect of esoteric study is that its path is not esoteric at all; well, at least not for those who truly Seek it.
----------------
As you might have discovered for yourself as well, I resist posting esoteric humor on my FB wall because so few would get it.
-------------- IF YOU WANT --------------
"If
you want trust,
trust others.
If you want respect,
respect others.
If
you want help,
help others.
If you want love and peace in your life,
give them away.
If you want great friends,
be one."

A sauterelle is a tool used to create, duplicate and measure angles. The name originates from French and translates as “grasshopper.” This may be related to the way in which the tool can resemble a grasshopper when viewed from the side. The use of the word sauterelle in other languages indicates the tool may be linked to masonry sauterelles used in the building of castles and cathedrals in Europe during the Middle Ages. A sauterelle may also be known as a T-bevel, bevel gauge or bevel square.
In its simplest form, the sauterelle consists of two straight edges, each rounded at one end; those edges are held together by a pivot at the rounded ends. When unfolded at a right angle, the tool has the “L” shape of a framing square, and may also be known as a false square. The pivot is commonly secured by a wing nut or other adjustable mechanism. This mechanism is loosened so the arms can be moved to the desired angle, then tightened so the angle can be copied to another object or surface.
Sauterelles do not have markings for determining the angle. Another tool, such as a protractor, is needed to measure specific angles. It is possible to use a linear measuring device, such as a ruler held perpendicular to the end of one of the arms, to calculate the angle. The math needed to do so may be considered too clumsy, however, given the common availability of protractors.
To create an angle, the sauterelle is placed on a measuring device such as a protractor and adjusted to match the desired angle. The sauterelle is then held up to the object to be altered. If the object to be altered is adjustable, such as a miter saw, the sauterelle may be placed next to the mechanism so it can be adjusted. The sauterelle can also be used to trace the angle on an item to be cut.
A sauterelle may be used to measure an angle by simply reversing the method for creating an angle. It is adjusted to match the angle that is to be measured and then placed against a measuring tool such as a protractor to determine the angle. This method may be useful if the measuring tool available cannot be used to measure the angle directly, such as a circular protractor and the corner of a room.
To duplicate an angle, the sauterelle is placed in or against the angle and the arms are adjusted to match. The sauterelle may then be used to make an adjustment on another tool, such as a saw, or to trace the angle to an item to be cut. This use is one for which the sauterelle may be better suited than any other tool, because it may allow irregular or difficult angles to be duplicated fairly easily. Examples include cutting trim for a room in a house that has settled or that simply was not built square in the first place.

-------------- MYTH --------------
“Love is the burning point of life,
and since all life is sorrowful,
so is love.
"The stronger the love,
the more the pain.
Love itself is pain,
you might say -the pain of being truly alive.
"[...] But love bears all things.
[...] Love itself is pain,
you might say
- the pain of being truly alive.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
