Building Builders!: Random Building Thoughts

-------------- TYLERS --------------

I: What unique Position

did Tylers originally Hold on the Work Site

that made them most Favorable

and Probable to first Notice Undesirables

Approaching or Being on the Work Site?

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

Arithmetic Study

is where

the concepts, realities and ramifications

of "Zero" and "Infinity"

are explored, understood and utilized.

Without this firm foundation,

much metaphysical study

is misunderstood

and, far worse,

bastardized.

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------

(Hat tip to Bro. Chris Balke!)

-------------- TOOL! --------------

Ritual is an eye chart

that helps determine

the insightfulness of its viewer.

When one doesn't know

that it's a tool

or how to use it,

it appears as nonsensical scratches

on a cave wall.

Interesting Root Histories...

Who you are

invokes from the universe

more of the same.

imprecation (n.) mid-15c., "a curse, cursing," from Latin imprecationem (nominative imprecatio) "an invoking of evil," noun of action from past participle stem of imprecari "invoke, pray, call down upon," from assimilated form of in- "into, in, within" (see in- (2)) + precari "to pray, ask, beg, request" (see pray). "Current limited sense is characteristic of human nature" [Weekley].

BONUS:

-------------- OFFENDED --------------

You are only Offended

by the Opinions and Behaviors of Those

to Whom you have Placed Great Value.

When You Want Inner Peace,

Stop Valuing Them!

-------------- REASONS --------------

You'd Think

By The Way Some Men Try

to be the Best Members Possible

That they have Forgotten

the Very Reason that They Joined.

-------------- LISTEN!!!! --------------

"If you listen to your fears,
you will die
never knowing what a great person
you might have been."
-- Robert H. Schuller

I disagree!

This is terrible advice!

When you refuse to listen and hear

what your fears tell you,

you refuse to deal with what you're perceiving.

I encourage you to Listen Carefully

to what your Fears are Really Saying to you

about what you perceive about your situation.

Once you are Clear as to what they Tell you,

Summon the Courage to Face and Conquer them

by dealing effectively with what you believe is before you!

This way you Live Knowing what it's like

to Deal Effectively with your Fears!

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

Masons Know Others By the Work they Do
And By the Work that Remains not Done.
When you Improperly Make your Tools,
Your Angles Are Skewed & unSquare,

You're unBound & unSubdued,
Your Very Looks Betray You.
You Show the World You!

-------------- MYTH --------------

“Writer’s block results from too much head.

Cut off your head.

Pegasus, poetry, was born of Medusa

when her head was cut off.

You have to be reckless when writing.

Be as crazy as your conscience allows.”
― Joseph Campbell,

Reflections on the Art of Living

-------------- SENSE --------------

Light comes Veiled,

can you Sense the Layers?

-------------- WORKING TOOL! --------------

I sure wish wisdom was a tool.

If it were,
I'd make sure it was mass produced
and required to be in everyone's tool box.

Alas, it is not.

The best description of Wisdom

that I have come across?

Brace yourself!

Wisdom is what occurs

when one's heart, head and spirit:

1) have been moved

from Chaos to Order,
2) are all connected,
3) are all aligned and
4) and are in full agreement.

But that's just something I got from my Travels.

Others might not see the Wisdom in this.
(and Yes, you may quote me on this!)
