-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
There was a time when Brothers
came together to form Lodges
because there was
Work to be done
that would leave the world a better place.
They were
paid by benefactors
outside the Lodge for such Work
outside the Lodge for such Work
and when either the
funding or Work ended,
these Brothers simply disassembled the Lodge
and
Traveled on.
Sadly,
today’s Brothers pay for the right to do very little
Work
which rarely leaves the world a better place
and they continue to
pay to maintain Lodges
that have long ceased to provide anything
other
than a footnote of marginal attendance for business
that contributes
questionable value.
Attrition and apathy are symptoms of today's
reality.
To end both symptoms requires meaningful Work!
What meaningful Work does your Lodge do,
other than making more members?
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
For your consideration:
An Appropriate Craft Allegory
for our times.
Be wary of the Gym
that sells you membership
based upon Body-Building
but puts you to work
behind the cash register.

-------------- CHARACTER --------------
"Never be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one's definition of your life;
define yourself."
-- Robert Frost
(Hat tip to Bro. Bill Anderson!)
-------------- ARITHMETIC! --------------
Dig into the mystery of Nicolas Bourbaki
— one of the most influential mathematicians of all time…
who never actually existed.
-------------- FEED YOUR MIND WELL! --------------
-------------- DON'T BE FOOLED! --------------
Don't
be fooled
by purposefully misleading labels.
Examine closely what is
being offered
and ask yourself,
"Does this label truly describe
what I'm
getting?"
-------------- ASTRONOMY --------------
The Earth will be at its
farthest point from the Sun
-------------- ON CRITICISM... --------------
(Hat tip to Bro. Peter Taylor!)
-------------- SELECTIVE --------------
We
Exist in
an Unfortunate Age of Selective Bigotry
where the Personal
Meanings,
the Symbolic Understandings,
and the Hypocritical Behaviors of
Others
are Condemned by those
who Won't Question their Own.
Be willing to examine your very being!

-------------- MYTH --------------
"Mythology may,
in a real sense,
be defined as other people’s religion.
And religion may,
in a real sense,
be understood as
a popular misunderstanding of mythology."
-- Joseph Campbell from Thou Art That

-------------- ASSIMILATION --------------
Assimilation:
When your time is consumed
servicing machines
rather than the people
these machine were intended to serve.
Make sure your involvement
is
always for the people it serves.
