-------------- A START ONLY! --------------
FILED UNDER:
It's ONLY a start,
not a guarantee!
Initiation is
an Introduction and Commencement.
Only one foot forward,
not the walking of the path.
Awakening, Transformation or Rebirth
is not required,
necessary nor guaranteed
with that first foot fall.
But they do occur
as Wages sometimes
for those who walk the path
and do the Work necessary
to bring each about.
Q: For any initiation to have any true & long lasting impact,
what is authentically required from an initiant?*
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
Getting Paid Master's Wages!
-------------- DESIRES & PASSIONS --------------
Apprentice Wisdom...
Desires are what you want.
Passions are what you
willingly Suffer to get what you Want.
This is why you Circumscribe them both
and keep them within due bounds.
No other should be made to Suffer
for what we ourselves Desire.

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
It is most unfortunate that
there's an unholy amount of Rubbish
out there masquerading
as Masonic Education taking good dollars
out of the pockets of good Brothers ...
1) who want to be Better by their Investment,
2) who pay very Dearly for their Efforts, and
3) who end up deeply Buried rather than Enlightened.

-------------- APRON MAN --------------
-------------- ORDER FROM CHAOS -------------- -------------- THE SECRETS --------------
It was obvious by the new Goat Signal
that the Commissioner of Gotham knew
Apron Man was the better choice.
(hat tip to Bro. Kevin C Livingston for the picture.)
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
"Evil does not arise only from evil people,
but also from good people who tolerate
the initiation of force
as a means to their own ends.
In this manner,
good people have empowered evil people
throughout history."
-- Ken Schoolland
Bringing Order to Chaos
is an inside-out job,
for no Order Exists
Without that which was
not first existent Within.
-------------- HERE & THERE --------------
On Getting THERE from HERE:
You Cannot get THERE
from HERE
when HERE
does not DIRECT the WORK
that is necessary
to GET THERE!
-------------- THE SECRETS --------------
“The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see,
but only for those who will seek them.”
-- Ayn Rand (Anthem)
-------------- MYTH --------------
other people's religion.
My favorite
definition of religion:
misunderstanding of mythology.
The
misunderstanding consists
in the reading of the spiritual mythological
symbols
as though they were primarily references to historical events.
Localized provincial readings
separate the various religious
communities.
Remythologization
––recapturing the mythological
meaning––
reveals a common spirituality of mankind."
-- Joseph Campbell,
"Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor"
Mine Too!
-------------- THE SECRETS --------------

-------------- LEVEL UP! --------------
-------------- TILARPS --------------
If you are a Member of a T.I.L.A.R.P.S.*,
then "Like" this. If you are Active, then Share this PROUDLY!
If you have no clue, ask yourself if you pay membership dues
or have a lifetime/perpetual membership.

-------------- IHN--------------
used, read or heard the phrase,
"...in his name...",
then this article
is for your consideration:
-------------- NEVER ASSUME! --------------
These are the GEMS
that I seek out CONSTANTLY!!!!!
Maslow,
YEARS AFTER he initially published
his "Study on Needs",
claimed that there was a 6th LEVEL,
one that was HIGHER
than "Self-Actualization."
That 6th Level
is "Self-Transcendence."
