Random Building Thoughts - 2022-10-13


-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 
 

Master's Wages and the Profane
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
When you already know 
that you'll be damned 
no matter what you do, 
your choices become obvious.   
 
 When you choose, 
you select what you want.  
 
However, when you decide, 
you do not select 
what you do not want 
or are willing to lose. 
 
There's a huge difference 
between what goes into these
two entirely different selections.
 
When do you choose
and when you you decide?

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

The refusal to draw distinctions 
is anti-masonic. 
It unnecessarily burdens 
both the refuser 
and all those they infuse.
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 

 Do you Recognize this?
Yes, That's Right!

 
 -------------- BETTER IT! --------------  
 
  
When it Can be Bettered by the Truth,
 It Deserves to be Bettered by the Truth.
 
What can be bettered 
by the truth? 
 
-------------- FLESH -------------- 
 
 
Any Intelligent man 
who takes it upon himself 
to perform even the most 
Rudimentary Examination of Freemasonry 
would soon discover for himself 
that it has as much in common 
with Stonecraft as 
Stone has with Flesh.
 
What examinations 
have you done lately?
 
-------------- MYTH --------------   


“When you are on the right path, 
invisible hands will come to your aid.”
Joseph Campbell
 
-------------- MAPS & TERRITORIES --------------  
 

Religions are the Maps, 
Spirituality is the Territory!  
 
When you know the difference
your quest begins!
 
-------------- RESTRAIN! -------------- 
 
 
"One single object ... [will merit] 
the endless gratitude of the society: 
that of restraining the judges 
from usurping legislation." 
—Thomas Jefferson (1825)

(Hat tip to Bro.John McAloon!)

 
-------------- DESTINY! -------------- 
 
 
What have you
decided?
 
-------------- BFM BOOK REVIEW -------------- 
 
"This is a profound work that will
pause many a Mason to stop
and think about what Nagy is saying here.
Perhaps it will spur a Brother or two
or three or more to pick up a Masonic book,
to ask some questions,
to sit at a round-table Masonic discussion.
For the goal here is spiritual and philosophical
and the development of the individual
and his soul. Being a Mason is more
than paying dues, memorizing
and repeating ritual and doing activities.
To be a Mason involves WORK.
Nagy has done what he set out to do.
He has coached Freemasons to become
all that they can be, to study, learn
and educate themselves and to understand
the historical context wherein Freemasonry
grew. For this reason, this is a must book
for every member of the Craft."
-- Brother Frederic L. Milliken

-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 
 
 

Do you know how they each apply
to modern day Freemasonry?
