Random Building Thoughts - 2022-07-08

 

-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
"...Masonry imposes upon us these duties
that it is properly and significantly styled work;
and he who imagines that he becomes a Mason
by merely taking the first two or three Degrees,
and that he may,
having leisurely stepped upon that small elevation,
thenceforward worthily wear the honors of Masonry,
without labor or exertion, or self-denial or sacrifice,
and that there is nothing to be done in Masonry,
is strangely deceived."
– Bro. Albert Pike
 
 -------------- IGNORANCE -------------- 
 
 
"The greatest enemy of knowledge 
is not ignorance, 
it is the illusion of knowledge."
-- DANIEL BOORSTIN

“Knowing a concept wrongly 
is more dangerous 
than skipping a concept”
-- unknown
 
 -------------- HUMOR --------------  
 

 
The Blue Lodge Brothers:
On Missions from God!
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  


I know of only a few organizations 
that provide these exact opportunities...

-------------- ALLEGORY-------------- 
 

 The Light's On! 
Sure Wish there were 
More Brothers Home!
 
-------------- LAST REFUGE --------------  
 

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
-- Salvor Hardin (Isaac Asimov)
 
(Hat tip to Brother Corey Mathews!)
 
-------------- MAPS --------------   
 

"If words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure, and structure alone. ...The only usefulness of map or a language depends on the similarity of structure between the empirical world and the map-languages.”
— Alfred Korzybski
 
For a map to be useful, 
one must have map reading skills. 
If you can't read a map, 
you're still chained to the cave walls.

For Further Light:
MAPS!
 
-------------- TRUTH! --------------  
 
 
Your Passion's True Measure 
is the Necessary Discomfort 
You Willingly Experience 
to Get What you Want.
 
  -------------- 5 RULES -------------- 
 

Much Better! 
 
-------------- ERA --------------  


GL Era Freemasonry: 
Enlightening the Worthy 
and Busying Ruffians 
for near three Centuries!
 
-------------- DRIVE --------------  


There's a startling ambiguity that Masons experience 
when first they taste true Light 
and discover that it is never provided by others;
 it must be self-obtained. 
This mix of emotions can often times overwhelm! 
This lasts only briefly though 
since such encounters with Light
 inevitably drive them forward for more.
 
-------------- STILL BURIED -------------- 
 
 

It's clear to Masons 
that only a select few 
have uncovered 
what is still Buried in the Rubbish 
for many.
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

 
 "It's through life
that one is to experience the spirit
and communicate the spirit
and live in the spirit."

​- Joseph Campbell
 
 
 
-------------- EXPERT --------------  

COACH QUESTION: SO MOTE IT BE...
 
If you were to listen to an expert on this phrase, 
what questions would you want answered about it 
so that you walked away satisfied with your investment of time?
 

 
-------------- ACCOUNTABILITY --------------  
 

Old Story...
 
God: Did you eat that apple?
Adam: THAT woman that YOU gave me tempted me!!!!!
 
For Further Light:
Garden!

 
-------------- LOGIC -------------- 

 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
