Building Builders!: Random Building Thoughts

-------------- METAPHOR --------------

The difference between

men who have Done the Work

and those who have not

is that the Former do not get Caught by Metaphors,

while the Latter are Chained to them.

EA Work!

FILED UNDER: Why Studying the Trivium is SO Important!

Members of our Society have become

so Focused upon Conceptual Thought

that they fail to see

how much they take Figurative Conveyance Literally

and in ways that were never intended.

Illiterates

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

-------------- CAUTIOUSLY EDUCATE! --------------

Heart Work (EA) MUST be undertaken

and completed before Head Work (FC) begins.

To do Head Work first

or without Completion of the Heart Work

is to Create

an Empowered, Undisciplined & Dangerous Fool

with Deadly Knowledge

Governed by Unbridled Passion.

-------------- RUFFIAN --------------

-------------- TRIVIAL WORD PLAY --------------

I Posted "THIS" on "PURPOSE".
What do you Post on Purpose?

-------------- CHARACTER --------------

How We Diss Our Devils...

-------------- MYTH --------------

“I don't have to have faith,

I have experience.”

The Power of Myth

-------------- TAKE THE RISK! --------------

-------------- FURTHER... --------------

I have a List of Mastery Goals

and Believe Earnestly

that all who Aspire toward this end

should have their list etched deeply within their hearts.

On my list of Mastery Goals

is to Further Educate those Individuals

who Desire, are Capable of and shall do the Work

necessary to bring about Being Civil

and to Deal as Civilly as possible

(as in: metaphorically with the least amount of "blood loss")

with those who cannot and will not.

To stem any confusion

in my communicating this goal to others,

for me, "To Further Educate" means:

"To Permanently Change Behavior

for and to the Better".

-------------- ENTRANCE REQUIREMENT --------------

FILED UNDER: Why "Good' Men

Too often and too soon

are we self-victimized

by good intentions

directed toward bad people.

-------------- COMPETENCE --------------

The Problem lays not with any of the Penalties

but with the Absolutely Incompetent men

who try to explain them to Brothers

Totally Ill-Prepared to Understand or Comprehend

their Symbolic Significance and Practical Relevance.

Should you ever make any effort whatsoever

to explain them,

here are some foundational insights you should include:

1) Penalties are ALWAYS self-administered.

There are NO exceptions.

2) When you are Not True to what your Tongue states,

you have Removed its Value.

3) When you are Not True to your Heart,

you Rip it from your Life.

4) When your Head and Heart are pulled in Two Different Directions,

So Are You!

Now, stop mucking things up and make sure this Next Generation of Masons Rock!

For Further Light:

Penalties!

-------------- UNCIRCUMSCRIBED --------------

FILED UNDER: Passions Poorly Guided

Passion:

What you willingly suffer to obtain your heart's desire...

It's not surprising

that a select few volunteer

to show their incivility, disrespect,

and, most of all, their ignorance.

It is a testament to what occurs

when passions go poorly guided

and in unlimited ways.

Should they travel an ad hominem road,

their posts are taken as direct requests

to have their posts deleted

and their accounts blocked.

This is on line and in Life.

It can't help but happen.

It's most unfortunate

that they may never realize

how unnecessary their suffering actually is,

and their efforts as well.|

What was the Point when you embraced an Obligation?
What was the Point when you Descended?
What was the Point when you Ascended?
What is the Point when you are with Brothers and others?
What is the Point now?
What is the Point to be?
