-------------- HUMOR --------------
Longevity in the Craft
is a double edged sword.
You're both blessed and cursed
when you've been enlightened
enough
through experience and hard Work
to recognize immediately
that a Freemasonic theory has no basis in fact
and is just another fantasy
based upon
wishful thinking.
You're also blessed and cursed
when you've been around long enough
to recognize bogus theories
when you hear them,
but still remain open to hearing someone
espouse a new "Freemasonic theory"
in hope of being delightfully surprised
regardless of your skepticism.

-------------- ROLES --------------
Before
you Decide
what Role you want to Play
within the Society,
do ask
yourself
what Role you want
the Society to Play in your Life.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
The
Beauty of Freemasonic Ritual
is that it Invites those who hear it
to
explore the true meanings of its Archaic Language
and leads some to
understand it deeply.
The
Ugliness of Freemasonic Ritual
is that some who hear it
wrongfully
assume the words used within it
have modern meanings
and they mislead
themselves
to both misunderstand it
and to do so superficially.
Do you have the understanding
of an apprentice
or a master?

-------------- MYTH --------------
"The hero adventures out
of the land we know into darkness;
there he accomplishes his adventure,
or again is simply lost to us, imprisoned,
or in danger;
and his return is described as a coming back out
of that yonder zone.
"Nevertheless
"Nevertheless
—and here is a great key
to the understanding of myth and symbol
—the two kingdoms are actually one.
"The realm of the gods
"The realm of the gods
is a forgotten dimension of the world we know.
"And the exploration of that world,
"And the exploration of that world,
either willingly or unwillingly,
is the whole sense of the deed of the hero."
-- Joseph Campbell,
The Hero with a Thousand Faces, p. 217
