-------------- BE! --------------
To BE a Mason,
you must Build Beneficially.
Until such actions are put forth,
you are merely an Apprentice
of what might BE.
It's about Time!
-------------- TRAVEL! --------------
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
― Bro. Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It
A Prescription for Social Sanity from a Well -Traveled Brother...
-------------- RAYS --------------
There
shall always be a part of Grammar
that you cannot see,
hidden from us
by our position and view.
And just as the Moon reflects imperfectly
the
rays of the Sun,
so too do our words reflect imperfectly
the rays of our
thoughts;
with some never getting reflected at all!
-------------- SOUL --------------
A Human is not a Sum of Parts;
You'll not find a Soul within.
The Human IS the Soul.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
"All
governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological
personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to
the corruptible."
– Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune
Quoted in: Chapter X - The Powers That Be (Building Ruffish - Volume 6)
-------------- MYTH --------------
What has
to be ritualized is essential to the life of the day.
If one is to try
to bring a mythological perspective into action
in the modern world one
has to understand the relationship
of what is being done to the
essentials of life,
not to the superficialities of life.
The essentials
of life remain the same;
they’ve been the same since the Paleolithic
caves.
Eating, reproduction, being a child, being mature, growing old.
To realize that these things one is doing
are not personally initiated
acts
but are functions of a biologically present world within yourself
is to live in a very different way from the way one lives
if one feels
that one is the volitional initiator
of everything going on."
-- Joseph Campbell, The Hero's Journey, p. 205
If you don't understand this,
-- Joseph Campbell, The Hero's Journey, p. 205
If you don't understand this,
you don't understand the myths
that rule and run your life!
-------------- HUBRIS --------------
When
any organization as a whole
doesn't do what's necessary
to actually
practice and safeguard
the very things it espouses,
it is hubris,
it
dooms itself unworthy
and summarily seals its fate.
The Truth shall Make you Free,
but not before
It Makes your Head Spin,
Knots your Stomach
and Makes you Question Everything
you Thought you already Knew about the Craft.
