Random Building Thoughts - 2022-11-04

 

-------------- HUMOR --------------  
  
 
FILED UNDER: 
 Your Zeal for the Institution...
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  
 

 For Further Light:
 
-------------- GRIPS --------------  
 
 
You can certainly FEEL the difference!
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
  

It is not the size, the shape or the color 
that people shall remember most about you. 
It shall be your Light's Warmth 
that they shall feel within, 
long after your Light Darkens.
 
 -------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
 
The Likelihood of Your Betterment 
is Directionally Proportional 
to the Effective Efforts you Make 
to Better Yourself.
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 
Been there, 
doing that still!
 
-------------- UNDERSTAND! --------------  
 

They won't notice 
because they are truly blind
to your real value and contribution.
 
-------------- ACCEPT TRUTH --------------  
 

 Like all Mythology and Allegory, 
that of the Craft was never Intended 
to be Put Forth and Taken as Historical Fact. 
It was Intended to Help you 
Seek, Realize and Accept Truth.
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
“The psychological dangers through which earlier generations 
were guided by the symbols and spiritual exercises 
of their mythological and religious inheritance, 
we today (in so far as we are unbelievers, or, if believers, 
in so far as our inherited beliefs fail to represent
 the real problems of contemporary life) 
must face alone, or, at best with only 
tentative, impromptu, and not often very effective guidance. 
This is our problem as modern, "enlightened" individuals, 
for whom all gods and devils have been 
rationalized out of existence.”
Joseph Campbell,  
The Hero With a Thousand Faces 

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
COACH'S CHALLENGE:
 
You're tasked by the Lodge Education Committee 
with putting together a series of classes to teach 
the fundamentals of Arithmetic for candidates that 
teaches concepts that lay a strong foundation and 
one that readies them for Geometry, 
without delving into Geometry. 
 
1) What study guide and materials do you 
   put together for the classes?
2) What does your complete syllabus include and why?
3) How should the classes be put forth 
and conducted to maximize the benefit to the Craft?
 
-------------- BATTLING ATTRITION? --------------  
 
 As per a request from a Brother...
--------------------
 
Do you want to attract good men to Freemasonry?

If "YES" 
than start teaching Masonry 
along side Freemasonry. 
 
Don't fool yourself into thinking that they are. 
 
Freemasonry is about Maintaining the Organization; 
Building Membership. 
 
Masonry is about making good men better; 
Building Builders. 
 
They are two different educational focuses 
and produce two entirely different results.

If "NO" 
than just keep doing what you're doing.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- STRETCH IT! --------------  
 

-------------- SHINE! -------------- 


Freemasonry offers its candidates 
roadmaps for the cultivation of soul (heart & mind) 
so that the spiritual aspects of humanity 
can shine their brightest.
 
 -------------- BOOK #16 NOW RELEASED! --------------
