-------------- WORD! -------------- 
-------------- HUMOR --------------
The Flanked Circumpunct;
Word!
No.
You're still not Grasping it Billy!
You need to know this!
Let me say it again,
"and Under Low Breath!"
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Question:
How does one know another is a Freemason?
Answer:
1) He is a man who strives to correct his imperfections.
2) He strives toward a mature expression of his ego.
3) He strives to be humble, modest, generous, tolerant,
loving, truthful, honest, respectful, civil, considerate,
faithful, loyal, and kind in all that he does.
He does this all fully aware
that he may fall short anyway.
-------------- LEADER'S VALUES --------------
When
you want to Understand why
the Fraternity has gotten to where it is,
look at what its Leaders Value.
You shall see for some
that it is
nothing more than
those Superficial things of which
we are asked by
Ritual
to Divest ourselves.
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
Building Better Builders
Masonic Exercise #1:
* Virtue is Developed
by Divesting Vice and Superfluity.
* Virtue is a natural outcome
of the Divestiture process.
Exercise your commitment daily!
How?
1) Take daily inventory
of your Vs&Ss,
what you are doing to divest them,
your successes,
your failures,
your plans,
your "adjustments",
and your support(s).
2) Exercise what
Freemasonry points toward.
You shall find that your relationship
with your self, and eventually with others,
shall improve with every effort that you make.
It's tough Work but it's well worth it.
Good Luck my Brothers!
-------------- CHAINED --------------
All they need to know about Freemasonry
is shared through
Ritual
are Correct.
But don't let them Dictate your needs
unless you
want to be Chained
to the same Cave Wall.
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
IMAGINE...
Imagine if you will,
Brothers no longer rushing through their Masonic Work
and taking time to Savor each Degree.
Imagine Brothers
investing in the successful Transformation of others,
and themselves.
Imagine a world
where members were truly Nurtured
to Become much Better People.
Imagine what your life would be like
if such heartfelt Imaginings took root,
were nurtured and grew strong.
Imagine That!
-------------- VALUES... --------------
Dogmatically
Justified Fraternal Incivility
is a good Indication
that a Brother
places more Value
upon Ritual and Rules
than the bond and Relationship
he has with his Brother.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
When Words are not Acted upon as Conveyed,
the Obligation goes Unsupported.
-------------- WALKING UPON --------------
the Surface upon which some Brothers Walk,
there you shall find just above it
an Imaginary film of water.
-------------- MYTH --------------
"Desire
for mortal gains
and fear of loss
hold you back
from giving yourself
to life."
-- Joseph Campbell,
"A Joseph Campbell Companion:
Reflections on the Art of Living"
More than you might realize.
-------------- PAST MASTERS! --------------

Meeting with Old Masters
(I've had some truly awesome talks
with old timers.)
