Random Building Thoughts - 2023-02-05

  

 -------------- SUPINE --------------
 
 
When you're Prone to Refuse
to do the Work that the
first Three Degrees point you toward,
you Relegate yourself to Experience
every other Degree Supine.
 
For Further Light:

And a video version...


Enjoy!
 
 -------------- BETTER TODAY -------------- 
 
 
What One Thing did you do Today
Better than you did Yesterday
because of your Commitment
to be Better than you were
the Day Before?
 
 -------------- BLOCKAGE -------------- 

MASONRY 101:
 
You can quote
the Theories, Prescriptions and Opinions
from over three Centuries of Freemasonic Experts
and do so from dawn to dusk
and well into the night,
but if you Refuse to first Accurately Describe
your Current Reality
and the Work Required to Improve it,
you're not going to be
any Better for your Efforts.  
 
 -------------- MYTH -------------- 

 "Myths are public dreams; 
dreams are private myths. 
By finding your own dream 
 and following it through, 
it will lead you to the myth-world 
in which you live. 
But just as in dream, 
the subject and object, 
though they seem to be separate, 
are really the same."
--Joseph Campbell
 
 -------------- YOU ARE! -------------- 
 
 
 
“Life has no meaning.
Each of us has meaning
and we bring it to life.
It is a waste to be asking the question
when you are the answer.” 
-- Joseph Campbell
 
  -------------- REASON & PASSION --------------
 
Here you have the important transition
 that took place about 500 B.C. 
This is the date of the Buddha 
and of Pythagoras and Confucius and Lao-tzu, 
if there was a Lao-tzu.

"This is the awakening of man’s reason. 
No longer is he informed and governed 
by the animal powers. 
No longer is he guided by the analogy 
of the planted earth,
 no longer by the courses of the planets
—but by reason . . . 
the way of man.

"And of course what destroys reason is passion. 
The principal passion in politics is greed. 
That is what pulls you down.”
Joseph Campbell, 
The Power of Myth (with Bill Moyers)
 
-------------- DRAW THEM IN! -------------- 
 

What if the Freemason-Mason Distinction
was a Devious Plot to Challenge others
to Think about What they Aren't Doing
& was only Disguised
as an Annoying Distinction?!

That's Majorly Bogus!
No one could be that Devious.
 
 (Dare to Think Deeper!)
 
 -------------- PROGRESS? -------------- 
 
 
On a scale from one to ten,
(with one being "no true effort or progress made"
and ten being "dealt with the biggies,
currently in maintenance mode
and dealing effectively with minor issues")
how would you rate your overall
"Divesting Vices and Superfluities"
progress and goals?
 
-------------- MINIMUMS? -------------- 
 
 
What's the minimum number of years
 that you have to be 
a dues paying member of the Society 
before you can proudly consider yourself 
a close minded Old-Timer?
 
  -------------- HUMOR --------------
A man is walking through the recreation ground of his local park when he notices a huge fight in full fury on the football pitch he is passing.
 
"What′s going on?" he asks a spectator watching from the side–lines.
 
The other replies "It′s a match between the Masons and the Knights of Columbus."
 
"What′s the score?" asks the first man.
 
"I don't know, it′s a secret."
(Hat tip to Brother Franklyn Gallup! / 2-5-2016)

--------------------- REVIEW: The Light in the Garden ------------------

I'm just about finished my second read 
of "The Light in the Garden." 

Absolutely awesome! 
 
It completely resonates with my thoughts 
on the Fall of Adam, his relationship with God, 
as well my Martinist feelings 
regarding Reintegration. 
 
The chapter "Paradise" is the killer for me. 
Yeshua tells the robber the truth. 
Once you take real responsibility 
and accept accountability for your actions,
 and their consequences, 
and bring about change, 
you will join Him in Paradise. 
 
And Paradise is where it all began! 
"In the beginning was the Word........." 
 
Your book is "revelation"! I love it.
 
BTW - I love the "discourse" approach as well. 
It makes it very easy to read and digest. 
I can almost feel a movie coming on!
-- Bro. Peter Taylor

 -------------- ROADMAP TALK -------------- 
 

 What EVERY Candidate should hear, REPEATEDLY!
 
Enjoy!
 
 -------------- END --------------  

 Be Well and Travel Light!
