Random Building Thoughts - 2023-03-07

 

-------------- HUMOR --------------

Some Atrocities only Brothers Recognize...

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


 -------------- INSPIRE! -------------- 

 

Don't get Inspired 
by Great Men 
who become Freemasons. 
Get Inspired 
by Freemasons 
who Become Great Men.
 
 -------------- ATTRACTION! -------------- 
 

When you want to attract and keep members, 
you must provide agendas that won't kill interest.
 It must support them in becoming Better Men, 
not just Better Members. 
When they go unfulfilled 
they will recognize the façade, 
turn away & travel toward 
what they believe to be greener pastures.

  -------------- PSA --------------
 

A strong indicator of in depth Trivium understanding is when you see both the truth and the fallacy of statements riddled by figures of speech; the major component of Theological and Philosophical writings. Along with this, the hidden content, aspects and messages that evade untrained minds. 
 
It's also a strong indicator that you shall be most irritating to those who can only see one or the other. 
 
  -------------- SHORTCOMING -------------- 
 

 
The Greatest Shortcoming
 that Freemasonic Lore has 
is not Providing this accurate Disclaimer 
with every last one of its Fabrications: 
 
THIS IS ONLY AN ALLEGORY! 
ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL HISTORY 
IS MERE COINCIDENCE!
 
  -------------- MYTH -------------- 

"One of the great disadvantages 
of a literary or scriptural tradition 
like the biblical one 
is that a deity or context of deities 
becomes crystallized, 
petrified at a certain time and place.
 The deity doesn’t continue to grow, 
expand, or take into account 
new cultural forces and new realizations
 in the sciences,
 and the result is this make-believe conflict 
we have in our culture 
between science and religion."
--Joseph Campbell, 
Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine

 -------------- EDUCATIONAL FLAME -------------- 

 

Mass education
shall always lack that
Uncommon Flame which
Masonic Education
should Ignite.

The Kindling of One's Flame
is something that
far too many Brothers
have yet to learn.

 -------------- RELEARN! -------------- 


“The illiterates of the 21st century 
will not be those who cannot read and write,
 but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”
— Alvin Toffler (b. 1928), 
American author, futurist and philosopher
 
 -------------- WHY BASE REQUIREMENTS --------------

Do you think you really know?

For Further Light:
 WHY!

  -------------- SEE THEM? --------------

For Further Light:
Differences!

 -------------- SHORTCOMING TOO -------------- 

 

The Greatest Freemasonic Shortcoming 
having to do with the Title it Bestows 
 is not Providing a Disclaimer: 
 
This Title is Titular only! 
Should you wish to make it Real, 
Demonstrate that you Actually Understand 
and can Apply 
what the Title Represents in Reality, 
just in Freemasonic Circles.  
 
 -------------- BETTERMENT -------------- 
 

A Dedicated Mason 
is a person who Strives 
to Improve His Heart (EA), 
His Mind (FC) and His Spirit (MM), 
without Excuse, Reservation 
or Equivocation whatsoever.
 Everything in Masonry flows 
from this Betterment Effort.  
 
 -------------- GREAT MEMORIES! -------------- 
 
 
Now speaking:
Brother John Nagy on
“The Perfect Quest.”
