Random Building Thoughts - 2022-10-01

 

 

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

You Know a Major Failure Occurs 
any time you can't Provide 
Compelling Examples 
after being Asked 
How it Makes Good Men Better 
and all that is Heard 
are Crickets.
 
Be the Compelling Example!
 
For Further Light:
 
-------------- BE THE BEE! --------------  


"Like the honeybee, 
the sage should gather wisdom 
from many scriptures"
-- Bhagavad Gita
 
This is RIGHT IN-LINE with
our Trestle-Board Lecture!
 
(Hat tip to Brother Mike Fizer)
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 

Nothing Attracts More Attention 
Than a Mason with Baggage. 
 
Properly Prepare Your Brothers! 
  
  -------------- CHARACTER --------------  


'There is a wide difference 
between speaking to deceive, 
and being silent to be impenetrable."
-- Voltaire
 
What's behind your silence?
 
 -------------- STRETCH IT! --------------  
 
 
 
The very Objective 
of our Work!

For Further Light:
 
-------------- HISTORY! -------------- 
 
DATELINE: Oct. 1, 2011 - GOOD TIMES! 11 Years Ago!
 
The Date of My very First Official 
FULL BUILDING BETTER BUILDERS Workshop 
hosted by the Boynton Lodge No. 236 F&AM of Florida 
and sponsored by their awesome Esoteric Research Society!
 
It was only 4.5 hours long at that time.
 
The BBB Workshop is currently 6.0 hours long.
 
NOW AVAILABLE VIA ZOOM!
 
-------------- QC -------------- 
 
 
FILED UNDER: 
Why Even Bother Giving Directions?
 
It took me a little over a decade 
of earnest, diligent and rigorous effort
to do my Apprentice Work, 
and that was BEFORE I joined Freemasonry. 
 
It was only after I joined 
that I found out that Freemasonry 
does no true quality control 
on whether a member actually does the Apprentice Work 
or not. 
 
Of course, 
I'd have done the Apprentice Work anyway, 
I knew I needed to (as many adults come to find out!) 
and I am proud that I did. 
 
But still, 
the actual reality was disappointing to realize. 
 
I'm finding out that 
I am not alone in this feeling. 
Ask anyone who
 is a Freemasonic Alumni.

For Further Light:
 
 
-------------- LOOKS! --------------
 

RUFFIANS
 
Their very looks 
betray them!
 
-------------- MYTH --------------   
 

"The way to become human 
is to learn to recognize the lineaments of God 
in all of the wonderful modulations
 of the face of man."
– Joseph Campbell, 
The Hero with a Thousand Faces, p. 336
 
And there are SO MANY!
 
-------------- USEFUL! --------------  
 
 
FILED UNDER:
What's missing in USA EDUCATION

"What would constitute useful history? 
That which should teach us 
our duties and our rights, 
without appearing to teach them."
-- Voltaire
 
-------------- EGGSHELL -------------- 
 
 
Eggshell Mentalities 
are Sacrificial Lambs 
to those who Exercise Movement 
in any Direction.
 
-------------- FABLES THAT TEACH!-------------- 
 


 "All the ancient histories, 
as one of our wits say, 
are just fables 
that have been agreed upon."   
-- Voltaire
 
-------------- VIEW --------------   
 

 
 ME|WE
 
How do you see things?
 
-------------- MASONIC FIBER! --------------   


If you're not Regular Enough, 
Perhaps some more Fiber might help...
Building Better Builders...  
 
For Further Light:
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
