Random Building Thoughts - 2022-08-23

 

-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
 -------------- A START ONLY! -------------- 
 

FILED UNDER:
  It's ONLY a start, 
not a guarantee!
 
Initiation is 
an Introduction and Commencement. 
Only one foot forward, 
not the walking of the path.
Awakening, Transformation or Rebirth
is not required, 
necessary nor guaranteed 
with that first foot fall.
 
But they do occur 
as Wages sometimes
 for those who walk the path 
and do the Work necessary
 to bring each about. 
 
-------------- DESIRES & PASSIONS --------------  
 
 
 Apprentice Wisdom...

Desires are what you want. 
Passions are what you 
willingly Suffer to get what you Want.
 This is why you Circumscribe them both
 and keep them within due bounds. 
No other should be made to Suffer
 for what we ourselves Desire.
 
For Further Light:
Circumscription

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

 It is most unfortunate that
 there's an unholy amount of Rubbish
 out there masquerading
as Masonic Education taking good dollars
out of the pockets of good Brothers ...
 
1) who want to be Better by their Investment,
2) who pay very Dearly for their Efforts, and
3) who end up deeply Buried rather than Enlightened.

-------------- APRON MAN -------------- 
 

It was obvious by the new Goat Signal 
that the Commissioner of Gotham knew 
Apron Man was the better choice.

(hat tip to Bro. Kevin C Livingston for the picture.)
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
  

"Evil does not arise only from evil people,
 but also from good people who tolerate 
the initiation of force 
as a means to their own ends.
 In this manner, 
good people have empowered evil people
 throughout history."
-- Ken Schoolland
 
 -------------- ORDER FROM CHAOS --------------  
 
 
Bringing Order to Chaos 
is an inside-out job, 
for no Order Exists 
Without that which was 
not first existent Within. 
 
-------------- HERE & THERE -------------- 
 
 
On Getting THERE from HERE: 
 
You Cannot get THERE 
from HERE 
when HERE
 does not DIRECT the WORK
 that is necessary 
to GET THERE!

  -------------- THE SECRETS --------------

 

“The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, 
but only for those who will seek them.”
-- Ayn Rand (Anthem)
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
"My favorite definition of mythology: 
other people's religion. 
 
My favorite definition of religion:
 misunderstanding of mythology. 
 
The misunderstanding consists 
in the reading of the spiritual mythological symbols 
as though they were primarily references to historical events. 
Localized provincial readings 
separate the various religious communities. 
Remythologization
––recapturing the mythological meaning––
reveals a common spirituality of mankind."
-- Joseph Campbell, 
"Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor"
 
Mine Too!
 
-------------- THE SECRETS -------------- 

 
A Brother Asks: 
Proscribing Religion & Politics
 
-------------- MASTER WHO! --------------  
 
 
Master Who Lodge Lord
GET IN FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE

 
-------------- LEVEL UP! -------------- 
 
 
-------------- TILARPS -------------- 
 
 
If you are a Member of a T.I.L.A.R.P.S.*, 
then "Like" this. If you are Active, then Share this PROUDLY!
If you have no clue, ask yourself if you pay membership dues 
or have a lifetime/perpetual membership.

-------------- IHN-------------- 
    

If you have ever
 used, read or heard the phrase, 
"...in his name...", 
then this article
 is for your consideration: 
 
 
 -------------- NEVER ASSUME! -------------- 


These are the GEMS 
that I seek out CONSTANTLY!!!!!

Maslow, 
YEARS AFTER he initially published 
his "Study on Needs", 
claimed that there was a 6th LEVEL, 
one that was HIGHER 
than "Self-Actualization."

That 6th Level 
is "Self-Transcendence."
