Random Building Thoughts - 2021-10-01

 

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

You Know a Major Failure Occurs 
any time you can't Provide 
Compelling Examples 
after being Asked 
How it Makes Good Men Better 
and all that is Heard 
are Crickets.
 
Be the Compelling Example!

-------------- BE THE BEE! --------------  


"Like the honeybee, 
the sage should gather wisdom 
from many scriptures"
-- Bhagavad Gita
 
This is RIGHT IN-LINE with
our Trestle-Board Lecture!
 
(Hat tip to Brother Mike Fizer)
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 

Nothing Attracts More Attention 
Than a Mason with Baggage. 
 
Properly Prepare Your Brothers! 
  
  -------------- CHARACTER --------------  


'There is a wide difference 
between speaking to deceive, 
and being silent to be impenetrable."
-- Voltaire
 
What's behind your silence?
 
 -------------- STRETCH IT! --------------  
 
 
 
The very Objective 
of our Work!

For Further Light:
 
-------------- HISTORY! -------------- 
 
DATELINE: Oct. 1, 2011 - GOOD TIMES! 10 Years Ago!
 
The Date of My very First Official 
FULL BUILDING BETTER BUILDERS Workshop 
hosted by the Boynton Lodge No. 236 F&AM of Florida 
and sponsored by their awesome Esoteric Research Society!
 
It was only 5 hours long at that time.
 
The BBB Workshop is currently 6.5 hours long.
 
NOW AVAILABLE VIA ZOOM!
 
-------------- QC -------------- 
 
 
FILED UNDER: 
Why Even Bother Giving Directions?
 
It took me a little over a decade 
of earnest, diligent and rigorous effort
to do my Apprentice Work, 
and that was BEFORE I joined Freemasonry. 
 
It was only after I joined 
that I found out that Freemasonry 
does no true quality control 
on whether a member actually does the Apprentice Work 
or not. 
 
Of course, 
I'd have done the Apprentice Work anyway, 
I knew I needed to (as many adults come to find out!) 
and I am proud that I did. 
 
But still, 
the actual reality was disappointing to realize. 
 
I'm finding out that 
I am not alone in this feeling. 
Ask anyone who
 is a Freemasonic Alumni.

For Further Light:
 
 
-------------- LOOKS! --------------
 

RUFFIANS
 
Their very looks 
betray them!
 
-------------- MYTH --------------   
 

"The way to become human 
is to learn to recognize the lineaments of God 
in all of the wonderful modulations
 of the face of man."
– Joseph Campbell, 
The Hero with a Thousand Faces, p. 336
 
And there are SO MANY!
 
-------------- USEFUL! --------------  
 
 
FILED UNDER:
What's missing in USA EDUCATION

"What would constitute useful history? 
That which should teach us 
our duties and our rights, 
without appearing to teach them."
-- Voltaire
 
-------------- EGGSHELL -------------- 
 
 
Eggshell Mentalities 
are Sacrificial Lambs 
to those who Exercise Movement 
in any Direction.
 
-------------- FABLES THAT TEACH!-------------- 
 


 "All the ancient histories, 
as one of our wits say, 
are just fables 
that have been agreed upon."   
-- Voltaire
 
-------------- VIEW --------------   
 

 
 ME|WE
 
How do you see things?
 
-------------- MASONIC FIBER! --------------   


If you're not Regular Enough, 
Perhaps some more Fiber might help...
Building Better Builders...
