What Every Candidate Should Know!

 -------------- MAPS --------------

FILED UNDER: 

 

The Map is not the Territory!

 

I have no doubt that there are Religions created for the sole purpose of mass-control. I also know that there exist Religions that could not care less about mass-control and focus strictly upon self-control. 

 

It pains me to hear how biased some viewpoints are toward the former and in not seeing the latter or an obstinate refusal to acknowledge the latter even though the evidence is clearly before them. 

 

Religions are Maps of spiritual experiences within specific territories; typically the experiences of others conveyed as paths both taken and to follow too if one so chooses. 

 

They are all but starting points. 

 

I've found many of these maps to be in error with what I've experienced of the Territories I've traveled and explored. 

 

I don't blame the map-maker. I merely correct the Map and move on. 

 

Those who blindly accept Maps as inerrant and refuse to see the Territory before them in any other way than in what they think that their Map Instructs them, Worship their interpretation of the Map and turn a blind eye to the Territory. 

 

All Maps are personal. They need to reflect the experiences of the souls using them; not the souls who have passed them down.

-------------- YOUR MAP --------------

Has it Dawned on You
That Your Map Might Be Antagonistic
To Your Best Interests? 

-------------- INTRODUCTION --------------

Freemasonry
is Only an Introduction to Masonry,
a distinctly different Animal that
Sadly not Enough
Freemasons get to Pet.

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

FILED UNDER:

LOGIC KNOW HOW!

The candidates are having a difficult time understanding a Trivial aspect of Logic.

They are giving you the following:

 

1) A

2) -A (negative A)

3) Not A

4) Not -A (negative A)

The want to know why...

 

a) A and Not -A are not the same or equal

b) -A and Not A are not the same or equal

 

YOUR TASKS:

 

1) Logically explain what all four represent and include a drawing showing their relationship.

2) Give at least two examples of all four to show how each contrasts with the others.

3) Explain a) & b) to the candidates.

 

What do you do?

-------------- REVIEW --------------

"I must say Dr. John,
I learned more from your most recent book
than my 3 Degrees.
I am going through it a second time,
taking notes and looking deeper.
I am both impressed and perplexed.
How did our Craft go astray,
lose its way & lose its identity?

Thank you for motivating me
to ask these and other questions.
It is a wonderful work of light.
I owe you."
-- Bro. Charles Devin Fuller

Thanks again, Bro.!
