-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Never,
ever assume that a man placing his hand upon a Bible
is setting his
Plumb.
For that to occur,
he must also place his eyes upon it,
open his
chest and willfully, deliberately and consciously
engrave its contents
upon his heart.
His actions from that moment on
reveal if his setting
was successful, true and honest.
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
COACH'S CHALLENGE:
You're
DDGM asked you to put a program on that will nurture Apprentices in
life changing ways. You're tasked with teaching them the basics of
divestiture.
1)
How do you go about drawing from them the similarities and differences
between Superfluities and Vices while providing them every opportunity
to teach you so that you have no doubt that they know about what they
are talking?
2)
How do you draw from them examples that fit their previous explanations
and do so in such a way that they get motivated to divest any that they
might have?
3) What program of divestment would they offer to you that guarantees the divestment that they desire to achieve?

In
Freemasonry you can
Speculate, Theorize and Philosophize
all you want
without ever
Doing any of the Actual Work
that Makes these Actions
Worthwhile.

-------------- SYMBOLIC --------------
The
problem with calling anything "Only" Symbolic
is that most people who
are untrained
in Symbolic Understanding
think that what is put forth
as
Symbolic doesn't occur
-- they are woefully mistaken.
Things are
expressed Symbolically
to indicate that real things do occur
and that
the Symbolic expression
points to these realities.
To think otherwise
only reflects
an undeveloped Understanding of Symbols,
which shall soon
enough be Understood
when a Symbolic violation occurs
that brings about a
reality
to which the Symbols warned.
Especially when one comes to
Understand "cause and effect"

-------------- RUFFIANS --------------
Hidden in Plain Sight...
or It's a Hiram Life for Me!
--------------------------
This is a statement and question pair
too often put forth by Brothers who refuse to do the Work:
- We're still looking for an explanation
as to what you mean.
- Why aren't you giving us the answer
we demand from you?
Here's were I usually reply:
"When
you examine the flow of thought throughout the offered information,
you're more likely to come to see a pattern within that flow that will
make it clearer to you, as in: the explanation is 'already before you
hidden in plain sight'. You must seek it for it to become clear to
you."
They'll respond Jubalonicly, "Coach, why don't you just TELL ME?!" or something to that effect.
I'll respond with something like, "I Can't, Won't, Shan't give you something that you must give and thus obtain yourself".
They'll
retort that they don't want to be one of my disciples, they just want a
straight answer and I'll reply "I've been straight with you all along.
You simply don't want to do the Work required to understand. You will
not get it because you refuse to think it through. Which is the ONLY way
you'll understand.
...and BTW - There's no need to attack me with lies. I don't have any disciples nor do I want them."
Ultimately
we end in a stalemate or worse, they attack me personally, because they
simple refuse to invest themselves in being any way other than their
current state and want to be distracted from that by focusing upon me.
Does this sound even vaguely familiar to anyone else?
