Building Builders!: Random Building Thoughts

-------------- INSTRUCTIONS --------------

What if I told you
Obligations are Operating Instructions
that you Bind yourself Toward Doing
and Not Something you have to say
to get a Title.

<sigh> unfortunately,
this goes in one ear
and out the other
of far too many.

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

-------------- END RESULT --------------

In all the Invested Time,
at all the Attended Events
and on all the Gathered Light,
can you Honestly say
that you Truly Know that
What you've Crafted as a Result
is Masterful?

-------------- THE SOUL WORK --------------

UNCOMMON THREADS: Heart-Disciplines (EA) and Head-Disciplines (FC)

Masonic Goal: To Learn!

A. Heart-Disciplines

B. Head-Disciplines

Heart Work + Head Work = Soul Work

The Work of the first two degrees are designed to cultivate the Soul and prepare the soul for

Spiritual Work!!

My 2 cents

-------------- IMPORTANT LESSON --------------

When you Can't Differentiate between
the Important and Unimportant in Life,
you've Missed the Most Important Lesson
Presented by the Masonic Threshing-floor.

If you don't know what that is,
you've not opened your eyes wide enough.

-------------- THE GIFT OF FEAR --------------

FILED UNDER:

The Gift of Fear!

Success is often times avoiding the landmines
that fears warn us about in advance.
Interestingly, a lack of fear is itself dangerous at times
and it is too often a reflection of ignorant confidence.

True wisdom acknowledges dangers
and the gift of fear lets us know

that we perceive them.

Only fools dismiss this gift
without further investigation
and confirmation as to the reality
of that perception.
