Random Building Thoughts - 2023-08-07

 

-------------- UNDERSTAND! --------------   
 

If you earnestly believe 
that Divestiture is memorizing 
and giving back a few responses;
 if you earnest believe that Strength 
is obtained through thoughtless rote; 
you have yet to understand 
the true Entry Work.  
 
For Further Light: 
 
 -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION--------------  
 
 
 -------------- CHALLENGE --------------  



Freemasonic Point to Ponder:

If "Perfect Ashlars" are indeed "flawless", 
why in God's name 
does any one of them need to be "Adjusted"
 in any way and by anyone, 
much less Fellow Crafts?

Keep in mind too 
that the building each of these "Perfect Ashlars"
 is to be installed within 
are built with other "Perfect Ashlars". 
 
The implication being: 
 
If there are NO perfect ashlars
 'cause "no one's perfect" 
there would NEVER be a house not made with hand 
'cause there would be no perfect ashlars 
to make it.

Go ahead, make my day Masonic!

-------------- DRIVING! --------------  


Masonry: 
Driving Points Home 
Since Time Immemorial
  
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 
 
 A first three focus spawns Ruffians; 
a last twelve focus Builds Builders. 
This can't be stated any simpler.
 
-------------- ABOUT TIME... --------------  
 

 Time Management
 is but one Entry's focus. 
Without its Mastery, 
all future Work 
will be unmanageable. 
 
-------------- FEATHERS --------------  
 

If you haven't got it yet, 
"Passions & Desires" 
are "EMOTIONS!" 
Your Subduing and Circumscription of them 
are required for Self-Mastery, 
of which without, 
all your efforts will be governed 
as feathers in the wind.  
 
For Further Light:
 
 
  -------------- ??? -------------- 
 
 
 Enable: To give Ability.
Empower: To give Means.

I don't think
 the proper choice of words 
were used here.  

Thoughts?
 
-------------- EXPECT LESS --------------  


Without the Work 
Expect Imperfect Squares
 
-------------- ETHICS -------------- 
 
 
AMEN!

-------------- CHARACTER --------------  


 Malcontents 
Always Present 
Ugly Views of Beauty.
 It's Who the Are Inside 
that Makes this All Possible.
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
 
"What's made up in the head is the fiction. 
What comes out of the heart is a myth."
-- Joseph Campbell, 
The Hero's Journey  p. 90
  
-------------- GRASP --------------  
 

A Strong Grip 
Shows A Strong Grasp. 
 If you Don't Get This, 
You Don't Have One.

-------------- MAPS --------------  
 
 
 
Ritual Offers you Only Maps. 
Being Enamored by the Maps Alone 
shall Stall the Travels you Intend; 
You will Ignore the Territory 
these Maps are Intended
to Guide you through.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- CONDITIONS --------------  
 

Don't Accept 
that they Know the Talk 
till you've Seen the Condition 
of their Soles!
 
-------------- SAVIORS -------------- 
 

 
"The urge to save humanity 
is almost always 
only a false-face 
for the urge to rule it." 
-- H. L. Mencken
 
-------------- GEOMETRY -------------- 


Mind blowing GEOMETRY
 
 -------------- FUN STUFF!-------------- 
 


FROM: Things to Come 1936 - HG WELLS
 
Check out from 36:45 through to 37:00...
 
Also, please note a snicker 
to the 3rd ruffian working tool visual 
starting at 1:10:30 
(that disappears suddenly in a cut away/cut back) 
and a verbal plug for being 
a master craftsmen (1:11:35) soon thereafter.
