-------------- CHALLENGED --------------
It
is the highest expression of ignorance
when Freemasons think that
they
are provided Working Tools
by their Brethren.
They are not provided
any Working Tools by Brothers
and never will they be so provided to them
by any Fellow.
Freemasons are
merely shown representation
of those Working Tools
that they should have
already developed within
for themselves.
And this act is done to stress the
necessity
of ongoing internal
development & application.
"Working Tools"
is CODE
for internalized DISCIPLINES
that only YOU can INSTALL!

-------------- CHARACTER --------------
The Measure of a Light Seeker
is the Actions he Takes
After he goes through
an Embarrassing Harassment Drama,
Suffers an Unnecessary Head Trauma
and then, to add Insult to Injury,
Receives a most Disappointing Substitute
and Sees the Reasons,
(yes, there are valid reasons,
(yes, there are valid reasons,
although perhaps not Accepted at first),
and is Upset Enough
to do Something Enriching about It.
-------------- TRUE CALLING --------------
It matters not your Calling
as long as it is True
and so are you.

-------------- HOW! -------------- 
“How is the history of Freemasonry to be written,
“… No greater honor could accrue to any man
'Not to exceed and not to fall short of facts
– Bro. Albert C. Mackey 33° 
One
of the many joys of Brotherhood
so that the narrative shall win the respect of its enemies ,
and secure the assent and approbation
of its friends?
In the first place, we must begin by a strict definition
of the word Masonry.
If we make it synonymous with Freemasonry,
then must we confine ourselves closely to the events
that are connected with the Institution
in its present form and organization. …
“… No greater honor could accrue to any man
than that of having been the founder
of a new school of Masonic history,
in which the fictions and loose statements
of former writers would be rejected,
and in which the rule would be adopted
that has been laid down as a vital maxim
of all inductive science,
— in words that have been chosen as his motto
by a recent powerful investigator of historical truth:
'Not to exceed and not to fall short of facts
— not to add and not to take away.
To state the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.'"
– Bro. Albert C. Mackey 33°

is collaborative inspiration.
More
times than not,
once a Brother puts forth something of value,
it is
further enriched
by the enthusiastic contributions
of Brothers who join
in on his fun.
The ends are usually Hecatombs of Epic Dimension.
If you
have no clue as to what I speak,
you're likely hanging with the wrong
crowd.
If you recognize yourself in this,
you're most likely a
womb-mate.

are known to him,
but he shan't Do the Work
to produce them
for he has Chosen another Path.
You shall know him by his lack of these Signs.
Other signs shall betray him for who he is.
Within his title "Cowaner",
lays the very things he creates.
By virtue of the materials he uses,
how he works and what he doesn't use to Build,
he creates his very name.
Apprentices and Fellows have them in their stance,
and they are told this in their instruction.
They are also told that it is the Work
that they do which removes Cowans
from their Work and their Lives.
But only those who have done the Work
shall come to know this.
