-------------- THE POINT --------------
When you Attend any school
Believing that you are going to be Provided
with all that you need to Know,
you miss the Point.
Schools are for those who are
Learning How to Learn.
This is a Crucial Core of Cultivating Mastery.
Learn How to Learn
and you Attend Knowing that you are
merely being Introduced to what you need to Learn.
You Know too that what the school Provides is Superficial;
the in-depth Learning takes place Outside the school
and on your own time.
That's why Homework
is so Critical to Furthering
one's Education.
It's not learned till it hits home
and you can Apply it Consistently!
Ruffians Comprehend this not!
They lack the Foundations necessary to Know
and hence Seek the Superficial rather than the Core.Yet so many attend schools thinking
"This is all that I will need to know..."
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
-------------- 7 LAs&Ss --------------
It's
most unfortunate
that some people characterize
the Seven Liberal Arts
& Sciences
as the medieval equivalent of a Complete Education,
which
it certainly was not.
It was not offered as a Complete Education at
that time.
It was offered as a required Foundation
that made Further
Serious Studies possible.
In other words,
the Seven Liberal Arts &
Sciences
was not considered Complete Education;
it was considered
the
Basis of Further Learning.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Far too many come into this Craft
Looking for a Religious Experience
in the Worst Way...
...and by God,
...and by God,
they sometimes get it.
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
You
cannot Reasonably Expect
to turn around
a Declining Membership Trend
in
any Educational Organization
when its Educators are
"Masters in name
only"
who Progress their Students
upon Unsuitable Proficiency.
-------------- STILL PUZZLED? --------------
An
Organization
is no Better than its Members.
With this in mind:
No
Organization Improves
without Improving Its Membership.
To make any
effort to Improve an Organization
without Improving its Members
is
madness incarnate.
-------------- MORALS, VALUES & BELIEFS --------------
Morals
are Instruction Sets
based upon Intentions
to Honor & Respect Values & Beliefs.
Values & Beliefs
are as Varied as the stars in the heavens
and they remain as Constant as the clouds in the sky.
Show me men who have Consistent Values & Beliefs
and what you show me are Graves.
But even though the stars in the sky vary,
when you perpend Values & Beliefs well enough,
you shall surely see
what Light they have in common.
-------------- MYTH --------------
“All the gods,
all the heavens,
all the hells,
are within you.”

-------------- BRING IT OUT! --------------
Order (from) Chaos...
Bring It On!
-------------- THE WAR --------------
The War Doesn't End
When the Master's Title
is Bestowed Upon you.
All That Preceded that Event
Was Mere Preparation.
-------------- AMEN! --------------
"It's not enough to be
the best at what you do;
you must be perceived as
the only one who does what you do."
-- Jerry Garcia (1942-1995, Musician)
Yes Indeed!

Yes Indeed!
-------------- EA WORK --------------
a mind immature...
As much as I would love to see
Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences studies promoted
and supported by my Brothers,
I know that educating an ill prepared heart
brings nothing but woe.
The EA Degree points to the following Work
and for good reason:
1) Emotions Management (Passions & Desires)
2) Standards and Boundaries Management
(Compasses - Subduing & Circumscribing)
3) Time Management (24IG & more!)
4) Vice and Superfluity Management (CG)
5) Morality and Ethics Management (VoSL)
6) Virtue Development (Strengthening Exercises)
7) Integrity Cultivation (Being true to one's Word)
What are you doing to help prepare Brothers' Hearts?
For Further Light:
