-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
Okay, let's review this ONE MORE TIME... Phase One...
COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING:
1) Subdue & Circumscribe your Passions & Desires;
2) Get your Time Management in Order;
3) Divest yourself of Vices & Superfluities;
4) Invest yourself with Virtues;
5) Align your professed Moral Integrity with your actions
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
Insight
is not supported by any physical sense.
You can only "see into things"
when you exercise your ability
to go beyond
the apparent illusion before
you.
-------------- PREPARED? --------------
Don't
complain
when you haven't prepared
for the opportunities the Lord
provides you
and you think things didn't go your way.
They have gone
your way
and you have yourself
to thank.
-------------- KEEP AWAY --------------
(Hat tip to Bro. John Lawson)
-------------- EA WORK --------------
Some
Brothers put off
their Divestiture Work so long
that when they finally
go to do it
more intensive Working Tools are required.
-------------- REACH! --------------
If the Fire You Have Within
Doesn't Reach for Heaven,
You Might just have Ignited
Something Ungodly.
-------------- THE RIGHT STUFF --------------
FILED UNDER:
For those of you who question
the reason behind our Freeborn requirement...
You can't shove soy through a meatgrinder
and reasonably expect any
high quality bull to come out the other end.
You MUST begin
with the right stuff!

-------------- DO THE MATH! --------------
It Appears as if
1/2 of all Brothers
don't Care about Improving Themselves.
The other 1/2 do Care,
but not Enough to Work Hard at it.
What Remains
are Brothers Who Work Hard
to help all their Brothers do the Math.
-------------- HIDDEN WORLDS --------------
Climbing
these Stairs involves
Learning to Recognize, Understand and Utilize
Symbols
as Words & Numbers.
Do this successfully
and Hidden Worlds
become Known to you.
-------------- MATH --------------

The solution is not so obvious!
what is x?
(as in, solve for "x")
-------------- MYTH --------------
"The Indian term yoga is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root yuj, 'to link, join, or unite,' which is related etymologically to 'yoke,' a yoke of oxen, and is in sense analogous to the word 'religion' (Latin re-ligio), 'to link back, or bind.' Man, the creature, is by religion bound back to God. However, religion, religio, refers to a linking historically conditioned by way of a covenant, sacrament, or Quran, whereas yoga is the psychological linking of the mind to that superordinated principle 'by which the mind knows.' Furthermore, in yoga what is linked is finally the self to itself, consciousness to consciousness; for what had seemed, through māyā, to be two are in reality not so; whereas in religion what are linked are God and man, which are not the same.
"It
is of course true that in the popular religions of the Orient the gods
are worshiped as though external to their devotees, and all the rules
and rites of a covenanted relationship are observed. Nevertheless, the
ultimate realization, which the sages have celebrated, is that the god
worshiped as though without is in reality a reflex of the same mystery
as oneself. As long as an illusion of ego remains, the commensurate
illusion of a separate deity also will be there; and vice versa, as long
as the idea of a separate deity is cherished, an illusion of ego,
related to it in love, fear, worship, exile, or atonement, will also be
there. But precisely that illusion of duality is the trick of māyā.
'Thou art that' (tat tvam asi) is the proper thought for the first step
to wisdom.”
-- Joseph Campbell, The Masks of God, Vol. III: Oriental Mythology, p. 14).
Wonderful! As always!
-------------- BEAUTY!! --------------
"Though
we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us or we find it not."

-------------- REASON! --------------all day long
is to Be Ready for those
critical moments
when he must Employ them
without Hesitation.
-------------- ARMS! --------------
-------------- BRAIN TEASE --------------
-------------- THEORY 13 --------------
FILED UNDER:
The Freemasonic Origin Theory
that makes sense out of
why all the other related theories
don't make sense.
...and then, there's [theory] #13
which sets its sight upon the most obvious
and yet overwhelmingly unnoticed origin
that is backed by
facts, evidence and observable operation,
not fiction, conjecture and flights of fancy.
THE CRAFT UNMASKED!
The Uncommon Origin of Freemasonry
and its Practice.
Be Well and Travel Light!
