Random Building Thoughts - 2021-10-17

 

-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
 
I: What come you here to do?
R: To subdue my... 
 
WOW! Look! Shiny Things!
 

-------------- FOCUS! -------------- 
  

A Freemasonic Focus 
will get you what to got now. 
But Focus on Masonry, 
and you'll Build a Better Future.
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 

If you've yet to Order the Chaos within, 
you've no right to complain about the Chaos without.
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
  
DisORIENTation: 
 
That moment when you meet a member, 
blink, shake your head and think to yourself, 
"Didn't those Obligations say, 
'No Madmen or Fools?'"

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 
When we finally teach our Brothers 
to focus their attention upon manufacturing high quality Cement, 
we shall have a good start in Building something worthwhile! 
 
Sadly, 
until such activities dominate our focus, 
we shall continue to see ongoing degradation 
due to Daubed Untempered materials 
that cause Rubbish within Temples.

For FurtherLight: 
 


  -------------- TEACH! --------------  
 
 It is a rare person 
who sees the differences between 
a teaching and a lesson learned 
and seeks to assure the latter 
comes to fruition without waiver. 
 
-------------- A MATTER! -------------- 
 
 
 Masons & Ruffians
It's All A Matter of Degree
 
-------------- WELL? -------------- 
 
 
MM Level Quiz:
Hiram; Raised or Resurrected?

This was a focus of a chapter in 
"A Brother Asks: Uncommon Discourse about Hiram" 
published November 2017.
(Chapter 19 - Resurrecting Hiram - 
A Brother Asks: Volume 1 -  
 
-------------- THREE GREAT LIGHTS --------------
 
 
 Principle Tenets: 
Brotherly Love, Relief, Truth 
-- Hidden in Plain Sight!
 
-------------- MYTH --------------   

 "The earliest evidence that we have
 of ritual life comes from the period 
of Neanderthal man. 
That would be about 150,000 to 50,000 B.C.
The evidence is associated with two orders of phenomena. 
One is burial. 
Here, for the first time, 
we have evidence of a ritualized burial, with sacrifices
 and with the grave gear, 
which certainly indicates that 
the experience of death started something. 
The question is, 
What has happened to this body?
 It was walking around, it was warm, 
it lay down, it was cold. 
Where has it gone? 
The idea of where it has gone 
is the first clue we have to a mythological thought."
-- Joseph Campbell,
"The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work"

 
--------------NOW! -------------- 
 

 Realize now 
that Wonderful Things yet to be Realized 
have yet to be Imagined!
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
