-------------- HUMOR --------------
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Your Character is your Word.
You cannot possess It.
It will always possess you.
It is Lost to you
only if you do not Know Yourself.
It will be buried in Rubbish
with every Vice and Superfluity
you have yet to Divest.
It will only be Known to you
when you have done the Work
required of you.
Ritual points the way,
but it is not the Way.
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
Those Unwilling
to Embrace What's Necessary to Grow
Should Not be Trusted with Any Garden.
-------------- COMPASSES RULE! --------------
Your Compasses Rule Your Relationships
Symbolically, of course.
-------------- THE WAY --------------
The Ritual is to Life
what the Compass is to Maps.
It points the Way,
It points the Way,
but It is not THE Way.
-------------- SACRED COWS --------------
One
must Travel
beyond the Symbols
into the experience
of what these
Symbols represent
to experience their Truth.
What sacred cows
have you
yet to deal with
appropriately?
-------------- LAST ONE OUT --------------
When
what you offer
consistently contributes to
an ever-growing number of
detached alumni
far greater in number
than your actual membership,
it
would behoove you to rethink
what you offer.
-------------- WHO? --------------
“Once thoroughly broken down,
who is he that can repair the damage?”
-- Frederick Douglass
-- Frederick Douglass
(Hat tip to Bro. Ralph McNeal Jr!)
-------------- PASSION! --------------
"The only way
you're ever going to get
to the other side of this journey
is you have to suffer to grow."
-- David Goggins
-- David Goggins
WARNING! EXPLETIVES!!!
Passion:
What you Willingly Suffer
to Bring Forth
a Desired Change.
-------------- PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE --------------
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
COACH'S CHALLENGE
You
are a well-informed Freemason. A member of your lodge comes to you
tremendously stressed out over a situation that occurred between him and
several people within his congregation. He tells you that his VoSL has
a passage proscribing the taking of oaths. He is concerned because
they are saying the Freemasonic obligation is an oath and taking it runs
counter to his VoSL. He wants your help in dealing with this group.
Your Challenge: Explain why this is not a problem and how it doesn't violate his Book's proscription.
For Further Light:
OATHS, VOWS & PROMISES!
OATHS, VOWS & PROMISES!
-------------- MYTH --------------
"Mythology may,
in a real sense,
be defined as other people's religion.
And religion may,
in a real sense,
be understood as
a popular misunderstanding of mythology."
Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That
Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That
Yes.
Without any shadow of a doubt!
Of course,
you'd have to understand what he meant
by his statement
for it to make sense.
-------------- BRING WORKING TOOLS! --------------
THE FREEMASON'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
DON'T PANIC -- BRING WORK TOOLS
-------------- MEANINGFUL WORK --------------
There
is Nothing Attractive
about Titular Masters,
unless one Seeks
Superficial Glories.
When the Craft wants to Seriously Address
the
Attrition of its Ranks,
it must first get Serious about
Meaningful Work
and Advancement.
Person
Progression
Requires Personal Work.
No Personal Work;
No Personal
Progress.
Know Personal Work;
Know Personal Progress.
No Personal Work;
No Personal Progress.
-------------- END --------------
Be Well and Travel Light!
