Random Building Thoughts - 2023-02-13

 

 

-------------- HOW'S THAT WORKING? -------------- 
 
 
Look Down... 
Yeah, that's a Twenty-Four Inch Gauge you got there. 
Yes, you're supposed to apply it to your life. 
What!? You've not applied it yet? 
So, how's that working for ya?
 
 -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 
 

  -------------- <sigh> --------------
 

The Violence Men do unto others
 is rarely understood by the offenders
 at the time of their offense. 
Violators realize all too soon though 
the damage they have wrought. 
A lifetime of amends may never repair 
what cannot be undone.
 
-------------- HUMOR --------------

Freemasonry:
 Been there, Done that, 
and Got the Headache to Prove it.
 
  -------------- BETTERMENT! -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- SPEAK YOUR TRUTH-------------- 
 

But when you do,
make sure it is relevant to the issues at hand,
rather than taking pot shots at the sources,
intended solely to dismiss the truth stated.

 -------------- GET THE POINTS! -------------- 
 

When You Don't Get Their Points, 
You'll Not Have A Leg To Stand On. 
 
  -------------- LIBERAL ARTS -------------- 
 
 
...and here's:
the longer version


  -------------- PERENNIALNESS-------------- 
 
  "Brother John S Nagy, 
perennial philosophy 
and its similarities to Freemasonry. 
Thoughts?"
- Bro. Chris Barnes 

"Freemasonry points toward 
"perennial philosophy" and it has 
sown within its Ritual its seeds,
 but it is not in itself the same. 
This is not surprising 
since they are both founded upon "Masonry" 
-- which, as you might gather from my previous posts, 
books and articles,
 is not defined by me the same 
as 'Freemasonry'. 
 Some men can attend and participate in Freemasonry 
all their adult life and never glimpse 
the perennial philosophy Freemasonry points toward. 
Other men can stay outside the organization's walls 
and see the perennial philosophy
 to which Freemasonry's Lighthouse points. 
Those men who can see the Masonry 
within each are the Builders 
to which both have come into being."
-- Coach John S Nagy (2013)
 
 -------------- FREEBORN -------------- 
 
 The word "Freeborn" 
was originally used to explain the phrase
 "Able of Birth" 
and had nothing to do with Slavery or Bondage. 
It had everything to do with being 
"Superior or Excellent Stock" at birth. 
The commonly used definition
 is not what was originally intended or conveyed
 and it is currently used illegitimately 
to judge applicants. 
Semantic Drift is a BEAR at times!

 -------------- LEARNING CHEAT CODES -------------- 
 
 -------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
