Random Building Thoughts - 2021-08-10

 
-------------- BANNED! --------------  


Time to blow your minds, 
again...
 
 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 

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


If you cannot successfully decode 
simple symbols & allegories 
created and organized by a handful of drinking buddies 
nearly 300 years ago, 
what possible hope do you have 
decoding books created and organized 
by God inspired Prophets over 2000 years ago?

For Further Light: 
 
-------------- SYLLABUS --------------  
 

FILED UNDER: 
Don't Confuse the Syllabus with Actual Education

Craft Education isn't rote Ritual learning 
or becoming Proficient enough to repeat back 
what you're Trained to say; 
such activity only Inducts Initiates 
into what there is to Learn 
while supporting Organization ends.  
 
Craft Education 
is the Intentional Cultivation of 
the Heart, Mind and Spirit 
toward their Mastery.

For Further Light: 
 
-------------- PASSINGS --------------   
 
 
 
Life quickly passes by those
who heartlessly invest in

what has been lovingly given

for them to enjoy;

but not for those who love!

-------------- LAW-WORK-RELATIONSHIPS! --------------  
 

FILED UNDER:  
Why we don't Cross between the 3GLs & the WM
 
 The Three Greater Lights 
represent the personal Law, 
the personal Masonic development Work 
and the personal Relationships
 of each and every Brother. 
 
Each Mason reflects how far he has Progressed 
by Their development within him. 
 
Darkness reigns upon all Brothers 
who allow anything or anyone 
to Eclipse these Three Lights. 
 
The Masonic results that Brothers can expect 
and achieve 
are needlessly sabotaged by such obstacles. 
 
Thinking otherwise only mucks up a Brother's focus. 
Blocking a Brother's Great Lights 
is proscribed from every Mason's behavior. 
Intentionally doing so is grounds for censure. 
 
  -------------- THE MATH -------------- 
 
 
It's most unfortunate 
that far too many 
simply don't understand 
the math.
 
-------------- DISCOURSE: THE AD HOMINEM --------------  


 
 

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


 (Hat tip to Bro. Jules S. Tepper!)
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
"A mythological order 
is a system of images that gives consciousness 
a sense of meaning in existence, 
which, my dear friend, has no meaning
––it simply is. 
But the mind goes asking for meanings; 
it can't play unless it knows 
(or makes up) the rules.

"Mythologies present games to play: 
how to make believe you're doing thus and so. 
Ultimately, through the game, 
you experience that positive thing 
which is the experience of being-in-being, 
of living meaningfully. 
That's the first function of a mythology, 
to evoke in the individual a sense of grateful affirmative awe
before the monstrous mystery that is existence."
-- Joseph Campbell, Pathways to Bliss, p. 6

What game are you playing? 
Is it worthwhile?  
Does it inspire gratitude?  
How about direction?
 
-------------- BLINDERS --------------  
 

Don't Let Freemasonic 
Blinders & Offerings 
Prevent You From Seeing 
and Seeking 
Transformative Masonry.
 
-------------- HAVE LIGHT? --------------  
 
 
When you have Light, 
You're not in Darkness; 
Though you may still be 
Surrounded by it.
 
-------------- LIFE SUPPORT --------------  


(Hat tip to Bro. David R. Ellis!)
 
 -------------- WAKE UP! --------------
 

The Building Series:

-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
