Random Building Thoughts - 2022-09-25

 


-------------- GURU -------------- 
 
 
Esoteric Masonic Gurus? 
 
 If they haven't come down off their Mountain, 
and they haven't done the EA and FC Work, 
and they distract you with flashy Superfluities, 
it's a good bet they are not your Teacher.
 
Encourage meat before teething 
is a sure sign of Guru Fraud. 
 
Gurus have made 
the Complete Journey.  
They have integrated themselves 
USEFULLY back into life. 
They have RETURNED 
from the Mountain Top.
And they only encourage those whom they know
can & will return as well. 
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 

Symbols are Shadows caused by Blocked Light. 
They shall Enamor you 
and Divert you from the Light you Seek.
 
Seek the Light
BEHIND the Symbol!
 
For Further Light:
 
-------------- PERFECT --------------
 
 
Some people insist on using the word "perfect" 
when they truly mean "flawless." 
Other people only use the word "perfect" in a more "mature" way. 
The former rarely understands the latter 
while the latter understands the former all too well.  
 
For Further Light:
Perfect!

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


-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 

 
 -------------- DOING? --------------  
 
 
Is What you are Doing in Line 
the most Beneficial use of your Time?
 
Why are you in Line? 
 
-------------- KNOW THEM! -------------- 
 
 

Success Occurs First in the Heart, 
Second in the Head 
and Finally in the World Outside.  
 
For Further Light:
 
-------------- KNOW THEM! -------------- 
 
 
You can call yourself whatever you want, 
but from an objective eye, 
if you have not done the Work, 
an unearned title is still unmerited.
 
Earn It! 
 
-------------- GREATEST MYSTERY -------------- 
 

 One of the Most Interesting Craft Activities that you shall Witness 
is Brothers Pursuing deeply Esoteric Studies 
who have Yet to Begin Exploring their Greatest Mystery...
 Themselves.
 
EXPLORE!!!
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  



 “We need myths that will identify the individual
not with his local group 
but with the planet.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth 
 
 
 
  
 
-------------- GRIPE? --------------  
 
  
You Do know that 
the Whole Premise of Freemasonry 
is to Make Good Men Better? 
How is Listening to you Gripe 
going to Make that a Reality?
 
Gripe in a direction
that makes a difference!  
 
-------------- IMPROVE! --------------  
 

 
It's Really Easy to Open your Mouth and Gripe. 
It's much more Difficult to Formulate Clearly in your Mind 
a Workable Action Plan to Improve what you're about to Dismiss.
 
Take the difficult path!
WORK IT! 
 
-------------- CHANGE -------------- 
 
 
CHANGE should not be a dirty word to Masons. 
The very premise of Masonry 
is TRANSFORMATION toward the BETTER. 
TRANSFORMATION is a $2 word for CHANGE!
 
Invest your Masonic dollars 
and see what CHANGE you get! 
 
-------------- PROGRESSED? -------------- 
    
 
 
How Far Have You Progressed?
2001 A LODGE ODYSSEY
A HIRAM ABIFF PRODUCTION 
 
What are you doing Pal?
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------

Have you ever wondered what symbolism lay behind the ruffians? 
Or what their names actually mean in another language?
 
Enjoy the journey of discovery as Coach Nagy
 travels through the history of these names, 
when they first appeared and how their names were captured 
phonetically in English for future generations to discover.
 
-------------- SIGN IT PROUDLY! -------------- 


I Absolutely LOVE it 
when a Master 
Signs his Work!
 
-------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
