Random Building Thoughts - 2023-08-02

  

-------------- HUH?!?! --------------  
 
 
 For Further Light:

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


 
 For Further Light:

-------------- IRONY --------------    
 
 
 The Irony of Telling a Man 
something is Allegorical 
and having him take it 
as a Symbolic Warning only 
Must not go Unexamined.
 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 

------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 

 I wonder how this advice/prescription 
might apply to Grand Lodges?
 
-------------- MUSIC --------------  
 

 If Only! 
 
-------------- BOXED THINKING --------------   
 
 
This is Not a Box, 
But When You Think
Inside One 
You Can't Comprehend 
that It isn't.
 
  -------------- NATURAL CONSEQUENCES -------------- 
 
 
 The Natural Consequences 
of Ignoring Sound Principles
 is Punishment Enough.
 
-------------- RUFFIANS! --------------  
 
 
-------------- EDUCATION --------------  


Memorization could be a beginning or an end.  
It all depends upon what you do with it.

(Thanks for the inspirational post Bro. Ashton!)

 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

“There is perhaps nothing worse than reaching the top of the ladder
and discovering that you’re on the wrong wall.”
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
  
-------------- APPLICATION! --------------  
 
 
 
As it applies to Blue Lodge:

Don't just train your candidates to repeat back ritual...
TRAIN them to question what they are memorizing.
Train them to question everything Freemasonic!
There is no better way to have them become 
Traveling Men and credits to the Craft!
 
-------------- EXPERIENCE! --------------  
 
 
My experience tells me that Freemasonry 
is only a superficial introduction to Masonry
 - a prelude to it so to speak. 
 It also tells me that thinking these two are one in the same 
is delusional if you have given the matter any due attention. 

There is no doubt in my mind though
 that a whole cross-section of the fraternity treat them synonymously 
due to not taking the time to examine them carefully, 
not thinking about it in depth 
and understanding their differences.  

But I'm limited in my experience, 
so, I could be either mistaken
 in this somewhat brief assessment
 or surprisingly spot on.

 Be Well and Travel Light!
