-------------- HUMOR --------------
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
It is not the responsibility of the Lodge
to Teach anyone;
that responsibility is the Burden
of those who want to Learn.
The Lodge is only responsible for giving opportunity
to Brothers to Install The Code
for what needs to be Worked upon
within their heads and hearts.
But do not confuse this Freemasonic Training
But do not confuse this Freemasonic Training
with Masonic Education.
The former is intended
to install The Code;
the later to Live It.
Men need only be shown
Men need only be shown
what must be done
and they shall do so
without further prompting.
Only boys want spoon-feeding.
And until they Mature,
they shall remain Lodge Dependents.
-------------- THE ANGLES --------------
only get to the point
where they turn themselves around.
The 360s only go around in circles
and some are pretty big ones!
Be very careful with the 90s.
Watch them closely.
Make sure that you only hang out
with the right ones.
The left ones are definitely
going in the wrong direction
-------------- QUALITY -------------- 
The Quality Control of Freemasonry
is nothing like the Quality Control of Masonry
and each have different Ends in Mind.
Those implementing the former
Those implementing the former
survive within the Organization long enough
to Preserve and Pass Down The Code
for future generations.
Those implementing the later
Those implementing the later
Thrive in Life
by Living The Code
and by Positively Impacting This
and Future Generations!
-------------- WORSHIPFUL --------------
It's never a mistake
to call Brothers "Worshipful"
when they hold a place of
Honor in your Heart.
-------------- COWANS --------------
Accept Cowans to be Uninitiated Men
who are Pretenders to the Craft
and you'll keep non-Craft members away from an Open Lodge.
Understand Cowans to be men,
titled or not,
who build with unsquared stones
and without Cement or Mortar,
and you shall keep out of your life men
incapable of being square or bonding properly.
It's a Choice
filled with many Consequences
so Choose Wisely.

-------------- LISTEN! --------------
If you Want what you've Built to Thrive
and not just Survive,
the Cries of This Generation
Require Suitable Responses
which shall Further that End;
not Reactions that
Dismiss those Cries.
(Once again:
suitable responses...
not dismissive reactions...)
-------------- MYTH --------------
“Is the system going to flatten you out
and deny you your humanity,
or are you going to be able to make use of the system
to the attainment of human purposes?”
― Joseph Campbell
If the Lodge is a Beehive,
Who is the Queen?

-------------- PALE SHADOW --------------
There's
a World of difference between
Further Light and Further Training.
The
Former Transforms the Soul
while the Latter only Transfers Behavior
that
is a pale Shadow of the Former.
-------------- ADULT SKINS --------------
Youths who are clothed in Adult Skins
dominating a Craft Landscape
repel more potential members
than any other
anti-masonic influence.

-------------- COIL --------------
FILED UNDER:
A Prescription,
not Description,
of Betterment.
"The Society or Fraternity of Freemasons
is more in the nature of a system of Philosophy
or of moral and social virtues
taught by symbols, allegories, and lectures
based upon fundamental truths,
the observance of which tends to promote
stability of character, conservatism, morality and good citizenship."

-------------- PRETEND... --------------
at Least Make a Sincere Effort
and Pretend to be a Freemason.
Be Well and Travel Light!
