Random Building Thoughts - 2022-11-28

-------------- ROOTS --------------

So many Seekers assume that Freemasonry
comes from Roots that are somehow Disclosed
by or Alluded to within its very Rituals and
Lectures. Unfortunately, the very Craft
Freemasonry conceals is done so well that it
required no hiding at all!

[Chapter I. The Grand Assumption;
The Craft Unmasked!]

For further Light:
Grand Assumption

-------------- MEANING --------------

Tragedy breeds in the moment you assume
any word rendered generations before
conveys today's meaning.

For Further Light:

Hidden Mysteries

-------------- CREDIBILITY --------------

Don't Make Me Well-Informed...
You Wouldn't Like me When I'm Well-Informed...

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

It seems the unimaginable has happened.
The candidates in your charge have gotten a hold
of some anti-freemasonic literature.
They are asking about the differences between
"religion" and "religious"
and how it applies to Freemasonry.

Your WM got wind of this (some how),
is concerned and has put you to task to address this issue
in a professional and informative manner.

Your Task:

1) Clearly research the differences between
the words "religion" and "religious",
carefully denoting their definitions
and specific manners of use.

2) Draw clear distinctions between
the two words and prepare sufficiently
to present applicable examples of each
where the other word is clearly not applicable.

3) Create a presentation for these and future candidates
explaining how this information applies to Freemasonry.

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?

-------------- KNOW YOUR WORDS! --------------

"Religion" and "Religious" are two different creatures
and should not be Confused.
Freemasonry is not a Religion;
it is Religious organization.
There is but one Religious requirement
for joining Mainstream Freemasonry.
That Religious requirement
is a "Belief in God".

Woe to he he confuses the two...

-------------- INSIGHT --------------

Wisdom Continually Reinforces
the Understanding that
Accepting Things at Face Value
is a Pauper's View
and that Exercised Insight
Creates Greater Wealth.

-------------- GRATITUDE --------------
