Random Building Thoughts - 2023-04-21

 

 

-------------- TITLES --------------  
 
 
The Title of "Master" is not one to Wear; it is one to Bear.
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  
 
 
-------------- ACHIEVING MASTERY --------------  
 
 
FILED UNDER:  
This is how The Master's Word 
(aka "The Lost Word") remains a secret or lost...
 you can't get it from someone else!
 
 
So much of Achieving Mastery Requires Cultivating a mind 
that has Learned how to Recognize Patterns, 
Solve Problems, Make Connections and Provide Solutions 
rather than relying upon Sources Outside itself 
to do all this for it. 
 
Mastery is only realized 
through personal development 
that no other person can do for you.
 
For Further Light:
MASTERY!

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

KIRK: Scottie, we're going to hit warp nine point five soon, how does the ballast on the D Pends tank look?
SCOTTIE: We're about to bust loose at the seams Captain.
 
KIRK: We're going to need you to hold them together for at least another hour Scottie.
SCOTTIE: Captain! I can't possible get more than thirty minutes out of it.
 
KIRK: Scottie, We need more time!
SCOTTIE: Well, I guess I can reroute the tanks through the dilithium chambers and pump the overflow through the deflector array.
 
SPOCK: Captain, you do realize what will occur if our fans are hit.
KIRK: That's a chance we're going to have to take.
 
Intercom Hail from BONES: Captain, we're getting a lot of crew coming into sickbay complaining about...
KIRK: Not now Bones!
 
BONES: I'm a doctor, not a diaper changer.
NURSE CHAPEL: That Depends Doctor.
 
UHURA: Captain, I'm getting a transmission from the Klingons.
KIRK: Put it through the main viewer.
 
KLINGON: Ka Plop!
KIRK (whispering to crew): How could they possibly know?
 
CHECKOV: Ve must be leawing quite a trail...
SULU: That gaseous anomaly might be hanging on our outer surface, Captain.

KIRK: Scottie! How's that reconfiguration coming?
SCOTTIE: Captain, I'm working as fast I can...
 
KIRK: Spock, fans clear?
SPOCK: Yes Captain, sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.
...
-------------- OPPORTUNITY --------------  
 
 
The rule and guide of a successful life 
makes the best of every opportunity.*
 
When an opportunity to think 
is offered to you and you think the worst 
because it pushes your "reaction" button, 
rather than your "respond with your best" button, 
the opportunity is not your problem.
 
(* Inspiration: Ephesians 5:16)
 
-------------- STEPPING OUT... --------------  
 
 
You Must Step Out of Ritual to Get on the Path!
What's your Next Step?


-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
We have not even to risk the adventure alone, 
for the heroes of all time have gone before us. 
The labyrinth is thoroughly known. 
We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, 
and where we had thought to find an abomination, 
a monster, we shall find a god. 
And where we had thought to slay another, 
we shall slay ourselves. 
Where we had thought to travel outward, 
we will come to the center of our own existence. 
And where we had thought to be alone, 
we will be with all the world. 
 
-------------- DWELL --------------  
 
 
Beyond the MM Degree dwell
 
Continuing Freemasonic Education (CFE), and
Continuing Masonic Education (CME).
 
The former must be obtained through others.
The latter must be Obtained for oneself, 
for it can't possibly be Obtained through others.
 
Which path you take reveals much 
about how truly Free you actually are.
 
-------------- DIFFERENCE... --------------  
 
 
FILED UNDER:  
Breaking Protocol 
 
Do you want know the difference 
between an attack on your Brother 
and an honest observation?
 
Here's an attack:  
You're not making any sense.
 
Here's an honest observation: 
I can't make any sense of what you're saying.
 
The attack blames your personal inability issue 
on your Brother and dismisses him as well.
 
The honest observation accepts ownership 
of your personal issue and provides information 
that helps set the stage for clarity.
 
Know what you are doing Brothers. 
 If it's attacking, you're not going to get any traction 
on further understandings.
 
BTW - Good Counsel is not posted publicly for all to see.
It is whispered in private.

 
Anyone claiming to be "just" providing good counsel 
to a Brother as a Justification for posting publicly 
anything that claims to be good counsel to a specific Brother  
is not practicing the very thing they preach.
 
So don't whine about it when you're called out for breaking protocol!
