Random Building Thoughts - 2022-11-17

-------------- HUMOR ---------------

Rise-itus?

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

For Further Light:

The Letter "G"

-------------- CRAFTINGS ---------------

Askitude:

Serving in the role of Catechist.

-------------- DO THE WORK! ---------------

Empower not men
who Condemn Work
who Clearly have yet
to Do It themselves.

-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE ---------------

The Candidates are unbelievably restless.

They have continually complained to all
the trainers, coaches, mentors and instructors
that many of their questions go unanswered,
are responded to with unfounded words
and comments that have nothing to do
with the question they asked,
and are told to just memorize what they are
told to memorize in hopes that things will begin
to make sense after a while.

Your masonic education committee sees
the growing unrest as a problem that will affect
retention that should be dealt with effectively and swiftly.

Your WM asks for volunteers to develop
and implement the following training courses:

1) A course of study on:
"How to understand what is actually being asked".

2) A course of study on:
"How to make sure that the questions being asked
are addressed appropriately and thoroughly".

3) A course of study on:
"How to respond to the actual questions being asked
without being diverted down rabbit holes
that have little to nothing to do with
the questions being asked".

Do you volunteer for this
grand and important undertaking
and if you do, what do you come up with?

Or do you ignore the problem altogether
and continue to do what is obviously causing unrest?

-------------- ENRICH! ---------------

Learning How to Learn
Fosters Independence that Enriches Your Very Being
with Every Encounter.

-------------- DEMANDING BROTHERS ---------------

We've all been Warned about Them,
and We've all Been Through the Drama,
But Each Pale in Significance
to the Real-Life Experience of
having a "Brother" go all "Jubelo"
on you after he Realizes he must
Earn what he Demands from you.

-------------- FURTHER LIGHT ---------------

Is it too much to ask of men
that they use the Light that they have been given
before they are showered with more?

-------------- MYTH ---------------

"If you live with the myths in your mind,
you will find yourself always in mythological situations.
They cover everything that can happen to you.
And that enables you to interpret
the myth in relation to life,
as well as life in relation to myth."
-- Joseph Campbell,
interviewed by Michael McKnight,
"Elders and Guides,"
Parabola, Vol. V, No. 1,
February 1980, p.59

-------------- SATIRE ---------------

Craft Admits Ruffians in Fold

Clef Rock, Jerusalem – In an unprecedented press conference
held today outside the gates of what is believed to be
the Temple of Solomon, leaders of Freemasonic Orders
from around the world gathered to make
an announcement that finally confirms suspicions
long held about the Craft.

The suspicion?

That Ruffians fill the Craft rosters
and some are violent, impetuous rogues. ...
