Random Building Thoughts - 2023-03-23

 

 

-------------- NEW CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
"Your past behaviour and regular deportment 
have merited the honour which we have now conferred; 
and in your new character it is expected 
that you will conform to the principles of the order, 
by steadily persevering in
 the practice of every commendable virtue. 
Such is the nature of your engagements as a fellow craft, 
and to these duties you are bound by the most sacred ties."
-- page 63; 
The Freemason's Monitor; 
Thomas Smith Webb
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 

 
-------------- SEEK IT! --------------  
 

When your Best Thinking 
got you your Current Life 
and you're not Pleased, 
then Life is Telling you
 that you Truly Need 
to Improve your Thinking.
 
-------------- DEEP RESEARCH --------------  
 
 
(Hat tip to Bro. Blake Gore!)

For Further Light:
Research!
 
 -------------- WHAT IF --------------  
 

"WHAT IF" RULES!

1. Use standard brainstorming dialog.
2. You MUST respond as if the "what if" is the reality.
3. Run with the "what if" ramification as best you can.
4. Support the "what if" with additional supportive "what ifs".
5. If the "what if" is already underway in your lodge, 
either disregard this post or support it 
through examples that support the premise 
(or share the challenges you faced implementing it).
6. No shooting down any of the "what if". See "2."
7. Objections to the "what if" will be wiped. See "2."
8. Additional rules will be added for those who require
 further structure to prevent them from being sucked into 
any black hole of disbelief.

Enjoy!


You must know the difference 
between Masonry and Freemasonry 
for this to make any sense.
 
-------------- WHO IS THE WIDOW --------------  
  

The sooner a Brother realizes 
the Degrees are a Threshing and Winnowing Process, 
the sooner there shall be more Wheat 
and less Chaff 
within his Craft Workings. 
 
For Further Light:
Widow!

 
-------------- COR --------------  
 
 
Masters know that life 
is a Reflective Chamber that provides Lessons endlessly. 
 These chambers are not just rooms 
that Freemasons engage themselves in before specific Rituals. 
Chambers of Reflection are all around us!
 
 -------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
  

-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
“The achievement of the hero 
is one that he is ready for 
and it’s really a manifestation of his character. 
It’s amusing the way in which 
the landscape and conditions of the environment 
match the readiness of the hero. 
The adventure that he is ready for 
is the one that he gets.” 
– Joseph Campbell
 
 
-------------- BACKDROP --------------  
 

When Light Is Your Backdrop
All Forefront Shadowing Takes on
A Wholly Different Significance.
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
