Random Building Thoughts - 2021-11-15

 

 -------------- DIRECTION ---------------
 
 
 
All I ever needed 
to direct me as a man 
and Mason in Masonry 
was revealed to me 
in the Blue Lodge.
   -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION ---------------    


 For Further Light:
Cowans

-------------- HUMOR ---------------

 
-------------- HOW TO LISTEN ---------------
 

-------------- CULTIVATION ---------------
 

FILED UNDER:
Know Your Agenda!

Your Soul Purpose 
is to Cultivate Itself. 
 
-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE ---------------
 

BACKGROUND & UPDATE:
This challenge came up
as a result of a 3 year quest.
Two years later the questions
have been
addressed, written about and published
in the book:
THE CRAFT PERFECTED
 
------------------

A group of candidates have confusion. 

They tell you their lecture says "perfect ashlar"
but several have identified excerpts
from Prestonian lectures stating
the "smooth ashlar" as one of the jewels.
 

1) You are tasked with tracking down a FULL
and COMPLETE version of the actual Lecture
where Preston uses "smooth ashlar".
Do this.
 

2) You are tasked with explaining,
based upon his lecture,
the difference between the smooth ashlar
and the perfect ashlar.
Write up the explanation.
 

3) You are tasked with
finding the source of Preston's
smooth ashlar reference.
Find it!

  -------------- LIFE 101 ---------------
 
 
 -------------- MASTERY! ---------------
 

Geometry, Music, and Astronomy 
brilliantly and entertainingly presented 
through body Rhetoric.

Wisdom, Strength, & Beauty
 
-------------- FACE IT ---------------
 
 
Seek not to unmask others.
Seek to unmask yourself
and lead the way for others so inclined.
Such Light is addictive to prepared souls;
repulsive to those not.

 
   -------------- GOD ---------------
 
 
-------------- MYTH ---------------

"My magnificent master
and great friend of many years ago,
Heinrich Zimmer (1890-1943),
had a saying:
'The best things can’t be told:
the second best are misunderstood.'
The second best are misunderstood because,
as metaphors poetically of what cannot be told,
they are misread prosaically
as referring to tangible facts."

– Joseph Campbell
The Inner Reaches of Outer Space (p. xxiii)
