-------------- HUMOR --------------
Master Masons are charged
to help, aid, assist
and correct their Brothers;
not fix them.
-------------- WORKING MATERIALS --------------
- Chalk (Freedom->Choice)
is what we come in with. - Clay (Zeal->Obligation)
is what is provided for us through our Altar experience. - Charcoal (Fervency->Work)
is pointed toward by our Brothers and ignited
when the first two (Chalk and Clay) are genuine.
All must be present
and in agreement for Proper Transformation.

-------------- KEEP CALM --------------
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Soon
after the Premier Grand Lodge meeting in 1717, that one degree (EA) was
split in two parts thus creating the now EA and FC degrees and the
master's part (the original FC) was substituted with the second half of
the original split degree (EA - second half).
That second half became the basis of our current FC degree.
The
master's part (the original FC) was initially put aside but was
eventually brought back into use after being Dramatically augmented to
become our current MM degree. This augmented High Degree was not
required Initially by members to enjoy full membership but only became
so as other fabricated High Degrees were added to what was already
offered to the membership.
But we don't have any Innovations!
-------------- MYTH --------------
"My
feeling is that
mythic forms reveal themselves gradually
in the course
of your life
if you know what they are
and how to pay attention
to their
emergence.
My own initiation
into the mythic depths
of the unconscious
has been through the mind,
through the books that surround me
in this
library.
I have recognized in my quest
all the stages of the hero’s
journey.
I had my calls to adventure,
my guides, demons, and
illuminations."
– “Man and Myth:
A Conversation with Joseph Campbell,
Psychology Today, July 1971
-------------- PURSUIT --------------
Pursuing "Eureka!":
a task best left to those radically unsatisfied
with mundane superficialities.
