-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION TEASE --------------
FOR FURTHER LIGHT:
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Don't
Think for a Moment
that Every Choice you Make
and Every Action you Take
are Not Examples for Someone.
Be the Worthwhile Example!
-------------- FALSE CLAIMS --------------
-------------- FALSE CHARACTER --------------
It can't be stressed more emphatically how easily dismissed Apprentice Work is by the comment, "we are Always a Work in Progress" coupled with a "why bother?" attitude.
It's like giving a "get out of taking a bath" license to a kid because he rationalizes that he's gonna get dirty all over again anyway.
Maturity
accepts the fact that Dirt's gonna happen. Maturity also Firmly
Establishes Cleanliness; a Well-Entrenched Habit that Effectively
Avoids, Contains and Deals with Dirt when it manifests. Journeyman and
Masters have this habit, they have Matured to Adulthood and are men by
their core nature.
Apprentices are messy by their very nature and must do Work upon themselves to "get it" (Mature).
When males have done the Apprentice Work, they are no longer Apprentices (Youths).
If they have Matured, how could they be?
For a long-winded thought-provoking look at this, check out this link.
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
Witnessing other men's childishness
reveals to you
who you would be
had you not taken
the necessary steps to mature.
-------------- SELF-FIXATION --------------
FILED UNDER:
The Problem with Closed Systems...
When Winding Staircases
are fixated solely upon themselves,
you Engage in a Fruitless Illusion
that brings Nothing but Woe.
-------------- MYTH --------------
“Gods suppressed become devils,
and often it is these devils
whom we first encounter
when we turn inward.”

-------------- MUSIC --------------
Properly
orchestrated disharmonies
always lead to pleasant resolutions.
They
should not be discouraged
but nurtured fully through to fruition!
-------------- RUFFIANS --------------
The first Ruffian suffered
from poor Time Management;
he used his Working Tool wastefully.
The second suffered
from uncircumscribed Passions
and unsubdued Desires;
he used his Working Tool immorally.
The third suffered
from Lack of Schooling;
his zeal couldn't drive home knowledge
with his Working Tool;
it prevented it!
They all visited their shortcomings on Mastery.
The lesson is clear:
When you don't do the Work of the first two Degrees,
any hope for Mastery shall be buried in Rubbish.
-------------- HISTORY --------------
Republics:
protecting the rights of people
from Ochlocracies
since time immemorial!
protecting the rights of people
