<I wonder how many Brothers
will make a serious comment about this ;-) >
(Hat tip my Brother, for the abuse of his picture... you know who you are!)

-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------
-------------- ALL ABOUT... -------------
Far
too many Members
use their membership status
to belittle, dismiss and
otherwise attack
those ex-members who have moved on with their lives,
for whatever reason.
These attacking members have forgotten
that it's
not about membership
and it never was!
It was always about being BETTER
MEN!
-------------- RIGHTFUL CLAIM --------------
at least one Vice or Superfluity to rest,
can you
ever rightfully claim
to have an in depth Working knowledge
belonging to
this aspect of Apprenticeship?
Don't preach to me
unless you have
SUCCESSFULLY done it yourself!
-------------- RIGHT CHOICES... --------------
With great freedoms
come great responsibilities
and even greater liabilities.
Make Right Choices,
not quick or easy ones.
-------------- ADVOCATE... --------------
I
am an advocate for Working upon my own Ashlar
and leaving others to do
the same for themselves.
I need not concern myself otherwise
nor should I
desire to
especially should I want to do any good whatsoever.
That is a
little something that I learned about Mastery.
It is something that
one can only develop for oneself.
One cannot get it from another.
Yes,
I can provide feedback on Work done by another Brother,
should he
request it from me,
but his Work still must be done
for and by himself.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
There
MUST be a private victory
regarding Maturity
that can only occur once
one both
Accepts Responsibility for one's own personal development
and
Cultivates an unwavering commitment
to hold oneself Accountable for that
Acceptance.
-------------- MYTH --------------
That's been my experience!
-------------- MYTH BUSTER --------------
-------------- GRACIOUSNESS --------------
To be Bold in your Convictions
requires an equally tempered
Graciousness toward those
stirred by your Boldness.
-------------- WHY SEEK? --------------
Why do I seek Light?
Because I've been in Darkness
and that experience tells me that
being in the Light is much better for me
and everyone involved.

<Coach
looks down his nose and through his 4 year old bifocals, contemplating
deeply upon who has been playing narrator in his life and disclosing
solemnly to the world deeply held secrets. Breathing a sigh, he hastily
re-posts the narration meme anyway.
"Why not!" he grumbles to himself. The world should know these truths.
He lets out a heavy breath and examines his work.
"Fine job," he hears the disembodied voice say.
He smiles ever so slightly and he moves on.>

-------------- PLAY ON... --------------
What is Freemasonry's true secret?
Its practitioners put on a series of
plays
so well that their efforts mask the fact
that they are putting on a
series of plays.
For Further Light:
Plays...
Plays...
-------------- END --------------
Be Well and Travel Light!
