Random Building Thoughts - 2022-09-06

 

-------------- OPTICS ARE EVERYTHING! -------------- 
 
-------------- SEE? -------------- 
 

 When you actually 
follow The Path, 
you see things 
other can't,
or refuse to.
 
-------------- THE TOP REASON! -------------- 
 
 
 Of all the Reasons Offered
 To Justify and Encourage 
Joining Freemasonic Ranks, 
Improvement of one's Own Understanding 
and Worship of God 
Should be on the Top.
 
-------------- THE LAW --------------  
 
 
BEING: 
Who you Are 
Affects What you Do. 
What you Do Affects 
What you Have.
 
 -------------- BE IT! --------------  
 
 
 Masonry is not a religion,
 not a club,
 not an association 
and not a way of life. 
 It's a way of BEING! 
 
-------------- BEST ROUTES -------------- 
 
 
Freemasonic Rituals Offer 
One of the Best Routes 
to Exploring your Own Faith. 
 
Imagine doing this for yourself 
and in ways that Bring forth 
Stronger and more Well-Founded Beliefs! 
 
How would your World Change?
 
 -------------- CHALLENGE --------------  

 
Be neither 
Part of the Shadow 
nor that which Casts it; 
But Bring Light to It
 as only you can.
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  


When your Coach or Mentor 
doesn't require you to invest in your Betterment 
 as a condition for his ongoing support, 
you don't have a Coach or Mentor. 
What you do have 
is a person interested in something
other than your best interests. 
 
-------------- EXAMPLE --------------
    
 
You're 
a Shining Example 
of what Freemasonry 
Can 
and Can't do 
for a Man.
 
 -------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 

 'bout time too!
 
 -------------- JUDGE! -------------- 
 

Please don't make Judgmentalism 
out to be a bad thing. 
 
Judgement is in itself but a tool 
and a God given gift. 
 
It's only when it is brandished by 
a zealous, narrow-minded 
and inexperienced poor Craftsman, 
that it is ruinous. 
 
We are to judge with Candor, 
 and in such a way 
as to be held to the same standard 
we hold others to.
 
-------------- 8 VIRTUES --------------

 
The Apprentice Virtues: 
Sometimes,
 some things 
are not 
clearly spelled out.
 
-------------- MEETINGS -------------- 
 
 
What Exactly 
Do Your Meetings Do 
to Improve and to Contribute 
to the Overall Well-Being 
and Advancement of 
Your Attending Brothers? 
 
-------------- GOATS? --------------
 
 
 
THE CANDIDATE

Better Ask About Those Goats

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

“It may be a species of impudence
 to think that 
the way you understand God 
is the way God is.”
Joseph Campbell,  
Thou Art That: 
Transforming Religious Metaphor
 
-------------- CHALLENGE TOO -------------- 
 

-------------- IMPROVE! -------------- 

 
 
Every man Improves 
his own Application of his Own Faith 
when he Faithfully Applies 
what he Learns 
thru Masonic Practice.
 
-------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
