Random Building Thoughts - 2023-05-20

  

-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
For Further Light (and Giggles...):
WHAT!

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


The Degree Charges!

-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
 
FILED UNDER:  
One's Honor
 
One is a Mason 
when one Obligates one's self 
to Building Better AND honors 
AND fulfills that Obligation 
upon one's self without waiver.
 
One might do this 
by joining an organization 
that espouses this in their Philosophy, 
but joining is not necessary to take such actions since, 
by their very nature, 
such actions are intimately personal.
 
Of course, 
there are others who have joined such organizations,
 who have repeated many Obligations 
and who have not Honored and Fulfilled
 these Obligations to Build themselves Better. 
They shall argue with this 
above stated observation 
needlessly and endlessly
 and expect all they encounter 
to think of them as Masons. 
 
Reflecting back upon your path, 
what exactly have YOU 
Obligated yourself to do?
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 

 
Freemasonry teaches you to fill in the blanks
Masonry teaches you to see the blanks 
that need filling and to dismiss distractions! 
-----
 "Rather than reading between the lines, 
Masons can read between the blanks."
-- Bro. Peter Taylor 
 
-------------- HIDING THE FACTS -------------- 
 
 
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 

Masterful Men 
Don't Take This 
Lying Down...
 
-------------- LESSONS... --------------  
 

 Lessons fail to Cultivate 
any mind and heart unreceptive to them. 
An example of this 
is when you have yet to Differentiate 
you have not Recognized, Understood and Applied 
the presented FC Step Lesson: 
Learn to Differentiate, 
Differentiate to Understand, 
Apply to See Plenty. 

For Further Light:

Bonus Question:
What Past Philosophers 
were paid homage by the Stair Case Lecture 
and which Sections apply 
to which Philosopher?
 
 -------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
When What you Hold Dear 
Conflicts with the Truth Before you, 
A Change of Heart is Required 
Before you May See. 
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

"So if you really want to help this world, 
what you will have to teach 
is how to live in it. 
And that 
no one can do 
who has not themselves 
learned how to 
live in the joyful sorrow and sorrowful joy 
of the knowledge of life as it is."
– Joseph Campbell, 
Myths to Live By

-------------- LOGIC --------------  
 
  
(Hat Tip to Bro. Garry Paxinos!)
 
-------------- GENTLE REMINDER --------------  
 

-------------- JUST DO IT! --------------  
 
 
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
