Random Building Thoughts - 2023-04-19


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

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

 
 -------------- DANGEROUS PHRASES --------------  
 
 
Second only to, "I don't care..."
 
(Hat tip to Bro. Scott Nelson!)
 
-------------- CROSS IT! --------------  
 
 
Self-Initiated In Depth Thought
 is the Greatest Bridge 
that Some Individuals Shall Never Build, 
much less Cross. 
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
FILED UNDER: Revealing Your Character
 
It NEVER ceases to amaze me how easily a Brother's character can be revealed by giving him opportunities to THINK. 
 
Some Fall! Some Soar! Some Dig Graves! Others Climb out of them! 
 
How you respond to posts, judge their purpose and intent speaks VOLUMES about who you are, what you stand for, how you view opportunities, where you come from and reflects why you react or respond.
 
Tread carefully and assume nothing that you have not carefully investigated and confirmed.
 
 -------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
The Matrix* was never about Neo, Morpheus, Agent Smith or The Architect. 
 
It was always about the Source, the "Mother" who made them all! 
 
* Origin -- late Middle English (in the sense ‘womb’): from Latin, ‘breeding female,’ later ‘womb,’ from mater, matr- ‘mother.’
 

 -------------- FOR MEN'S SOULS... --------------  
 

Freemasonry! 
Dramatic Theater for Men's Souls!  

Drama with IMPACT!
 
-------------- WELL? --------------  
 
 
How much more Beneficial 
would your Contribution be
 if your Work was that 
of a Master Rendered? 
 
 -------------- REASONS --------------  
 
 

 ... He that reasons alone is heartless...
 
-------------- PROUD MOMENT -------------- 

This is but one of perhaps 4 or 5 times that my own Grand Lodge quoted me. 
 
Here's the quote:
 
"That takes Work!"

"One of the greatest disappointments Brothers shall experience in their Masonic lifetimes
is expecting Freemasonry to Transform them into Better men
without any Earnest Efforts of their own to bring this into Fruition.
Uncorrelated Transformations are both wishful and dangerously immature thinking.
Their disappointments are understandable and deserved though
since such expectations are both unrealistic
and a grievous affront to the very nature of Masonry.
One must never expect to be Better without changing one's Fundamental Nature.
To Be Better, one must Transform. That takes Work!" 

- Brother John S. Nagy, author of the Building Better Builders Masonic Education
