Time to blow your minds,

Time to blow your minds,

-------------- SYLLABUS --------------
FILED UNDER:
Don't Confuse the Syllabus with Actual Education
Craft Education isn't rote Ritual learning
or becoming Proficient enough to repeat back
what you're Trained to say;
such activity only Inducts Initiates
into what there is to Learn
while supporting Organization ends.
Craft Education
is the Intentional Cultivation of
the Heart, Mind and Spirit
toward their Mastery.

-------------- PASSINGS --------------
Life quickly passes by those
who heartlessly invest in
what has been lovingly given
for them to enjoy;
but not for those who love!

Why we don't Cross between the 3GLs & the WM
The
Three Greater Lights
represent the personal Law,
the personal Masonic
development Work
and the personal Relationships
of each and every
Brother.
Each Mason reflects how far he has Progressed
by Their
development within him.
Darkness reigns upon all Brothers
who allow
anything or anyone
to Eclipse these Three Lights.
The Masonic results
that Brothers can expect
and achieve
are needlessly sabotaged by such
obstacles.
Thinking otherwise only mucks up a Brother's focus.
Blocking a
Brother's Great Lights
is proscribed from every Mason's behavior.
Intentionally doing so is grounds for censure.
-------------- THE MATH --------------
It's most unfortunate
that far too many
simply don't understand
the math.
-------------- DISCOURSE: THE AD HOMINEM --------------
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
-------------- MYTH --------------
"A mythological order
is a system of images that gives consciousness
a sense of meaning in existence,
which, my dear friend, has no meaning
––it simply is.
But the mind goes asking for meanings;
it can't play unless it knows
(or makes up) the rules.
"Mythologies present games to play:
how to make believe you're doing thus and so.
Ultimately, through the game,
you experience that positive thing
which is the experience of being-in-being,
of living meaningfully.
That's the first function of a mythology,
to evoke in the individual a sense of grateful affirmative awe
before the monstrous mystery that is existence."
-- Joseph Campbell, Pathways to Bliss, p. 6

What game are you playing?
Is it worthwhile?
Does it inspire gratitude?
How about direction?
-------------- BLINDERS --------------
Don't Let Freemasonic
Blinders & Offerings
Prevent You From Seeing
and Seeking
Transformative Masonry.
-------------- HAVE LIGHT? --------------
When you have Light,
You're not in Darkness;
Though you may still be
Surrounded by it.
