Random Building Thoughts - 2023-04-24

 

 

-------------- GENERATION GAP --------------  
 

And the Great War continues, 
from one generation to the next...
What measures are you taking to bridge the generation gap?
How's it working?
What more can you do?
Please!  Let us know!
 
For Further Light:

(Hat tip to my good Brothers at Robert Butler Lodge No. 305!)

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

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

 (Hat top to Bro. Edwin Lamour!)
 
-------------- MISSING THE MARK --------------  
 

-------------- MEMORIZATION --------------  
 

Memorization should NOT be abandoned. 
It is however quite clear that in far too many cases 
Proficiency has degraded to Memorization without Understanding. 
The Foundation must be laid for any Building to Rise firmly. 
Memorization is but the beginning of that Building process. 
The problem is that typically 
nothing is Built upon that Foundation 
once it is laid.
 
 For Further Light:
Memory Work


-------------- LOGIC -------------- 
 
 
 
 Abductive Reasoning at its best!
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
You can't Honestly call yourself 
"a Builder" 
when you Don't "Build" 
with the Blueprints you Memorized. 
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
Sit in a room 
and read–
and read and read. 
And read the right books 
by the right people. 
Your mind is brought onto that level, 
and you have a nice, 
mild, 
slow-burning rapture 
all the time.  
-- Joseph Campbell
 
  -------------- RUFF --------------  
 

Three Blind Men, Three Blind Men
 See how they Ruff, See how they Ruff!
 They Ruffed right after The Master’s Word
 But misunderstood What remained unheard
 Did you ever See Such ignorance Assured
 As Three Blind Men?

For Further Light:
RUFF!
 
-------------- CONSTITUTIONAL CATECHISM --------------  
 


 There shall be no better time
 to read up on this, 
before books like this 
are forever removed from public eyes.
 
For Further Light from 1828:
CONSTITUTION...
 
 
 

-------------- TEMPERANCE! --------------  
 

 "The problem with people who have no vices
 is that generally you can be pretty sure 
they're going to have some 
pretty annoying virtues." 
-- Elizabeth Taylor

 -------------- MISLEADING -------------- 

 (WARNING!: Think twice before you assume this is quoting ritual
HINT: It is NOT quoting Ritual!)
 
 FILED UNDER: A STUDY IN FRATERNAL IGNORANCE & ASSUMPTIONS. 
 
My Brother, 
did you not comprehend the significance of the statement, 
"...it becomes my duty to inform you that 
you are not yet a Master Mason, 
and it is doubtful whether you ever will be..." 
when you first heard it? 
 
 For Further Light:  

 -------------- END --------------   

 Be Well and Travel Light!
