Random Building Thoughts - 2022-03-18

 

 
-------------- WELL? -------------- 
 

Do you Truly Believe
that a Bunch of Uninformed men,
Acting out Misunderstood Scripts,
and who Ignore the Work
these Scripts Direct them toward,
are going to Assist you Toward
any True Transformation?
 
-------------- FRANK! -------------- 
 
 
It's Only When a Missing Puzzle Piece
Completes a Heretofore Non-Sense Picture
That Everything Truly Makes Sense!
"Being Frank About Freemasonry"

Frank!

 
 -------------- CRAFTIER --------------  
 
 
The Craftier men get,
the more Skill they have to Perceive
and Bring forth Beauty.
 
-------------- ROADMAPS --------------  
 
 

The EA Degree provides a roadmap for Inward Travels. 
 
It provides a guide to the inner Terrain that, when Traveled, enables a man to know his true self and true nature -- The Creature that is himself. The Work it directs him to is Foundational to his Learning. In this respect, it is a roadmap of Preparation for Learning. It is focused upon the physical man. Sadly, few men follow the map that they are offered.
 
The FC Degree provides a roadmap for Outward Travels. 
 
It provided a guide to the outer Terrain that, when Traveled, enables a man to know the Universe -- the Whole of Creation. The Work it directs him to is Structural and sets the stage of his Actual Learning. In this respect, it is a roadmap to Learn How to Learn. It is focused upon the mental man. Sadly, even fewer men follow the map that they are offered.
 
The MM Degree provides a roadmap for Eternal Travels. 
 
It provided a guide to the spiritual Terrain that, when Traveled, enables a man to know the Word -- the Creator. The Work it directs him to is his Actual Learning and Teaching. In this respect, it is a roadmap to Further Cultivation of the Heart and Mind, Travel and Employment of Cunning Craftsmanship. It is focused upon the spiritual man. Sadly, it is rare men who follows the map that they are offered.

-------------- GRAMMAR --------------  
 

FILED UNDER:
GRAMMAR - Worth reviewing if not studying!
 
 -------------- SPECULATE! --------------  
 
SPECULATE UPON THIS!
 
The direction you chose to focus a word's meaning shall assist you in determining the results you do and don't obtain. 
 
A case in point:
 
A Stone Mason <-- Operative --> Someone who Deliberately and Consciously Works upon Clearly Defined Projects 
 
One direction keeps a man stuck; the other requires a man to do Work! If there is a Secret that the Fraternity keeps hidden in plan view, it would be that Operative Masonry (OM) is still Practiced within the Craft and you can see it (OM) in the Results that some Brothers Obtain! For all those who do not Practice it (OM), you shall see very little Transformation.

-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
FILED UNDER:
On Becoming an Adult!
 
TO BECOME!!!!!
 
"To become—in Jung’s terms—individuated, 
to live as a released individual,
 one has to know how and when to put on and to put off 
the masks of one’s various life roles. 
‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do,’ 
and when at home, 
do not keep on the mask of the role
 you play in the Senate chamber. 
But this, finally, is not easy, 
since some of the masks cut deep. 
They include judgment and moral values. 
They include one’s pride, ambition, and achievement. 
They include one’s infatuations. 
It is a common thing to be overly impressed
 by and attached to masks, 
either some mask of one’s own
 or the mana-masks of others. 
The work of individuation, however,
 demands that one should not be 
compulsively affected in this way.
 The aim of individuation 
requires that one should find
 and then learn to live out of one’s own center,
 in control of one’s for and against. 
And this cannot be achieved 
by enacting and responding to 
any general masquerade of fixed roles."
-- Joseph Campbell

  
-------------- THE CAVE --------------  
 

 
 
Cowan (source: Gaelic) --> Hollow, Hole, Crevice, Cove, Cave, etc. --> Cave! ... --> Allegory? --> Yes!
 
-------------- PSA --------------  
 
 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 

Brother 1: I hate feeling like I am in constant competition!
Brother 2: I hate it more than you do!
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
