-------------- BE THE DIFFERENCE! --------------

FILED UNDER:

Be the Difference!

 

Because Being a Freemason
is simply not Enough!

For Further Light:
Why Draw any Distinction?

-------------- MEASURE --------------

 

When you do not apply your Working Tools,
you Build things with poor Measure. 

 

What problems have you caused by
improper, incomplete, or non-existent measure?

-------------- INABILITY --------------

 The Failure of our Leadership
to Deliver what we Expect
is Founded solely upon our Collective Inability
to Measure well the people we Promote and Elect;
so it is too with the Failure of our Organizations.

Who have you promoted
to your detriment?

 -------------- CRAFT -------------- 

CRAFT (n.) Old English cræft (West Saxon, Northumbrian), -creft (Kentish), originally "power, physical strength, might," from Proto-Germanic *krab-/*kraf- (cognates: Old Frisian kreft, Old High German chraft, German Kraft "strength, skill;" Old Norse kraptr "strength, virtue"). Sense expanded in Old English to include "skill, dexterity; art, science, talent" (via a notion of "mental power"), which led by late Old English to the meaning "trade, handicraft, calling," also "something built or made." The word still was used for "might, power" in Middle English. 

 

CRAFT (v.) Old English cræftan "to exercise a craft, build," from the same source as craft (n.). Meaning "to make skillfully" is from early 15c., obsolete from 16c., but revived c. 1950s, largely in U.S. advertising and commercial senses.

 -------------- REVIEW -------------- 

 

"A must read new book!

"Not since the likes of
Born in Blood or The Hiram Key
has such a ground breaking
Origin of the Craft been explored.
Where previous authors and researchers
just barely brush upon the subject
or just mention it in passing,
Brother Nagy digs all the way into it
and with thorough and methodical research.
His book, The Craft Unmasked!,
is a fun ride and a fast read.
You will not be able to put this book down."
--  Brother Richard Zarth
