Random Building Thoughts - 2023-08-29

  

-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
A Demanding Job for Sure!

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
 

 -------------- SMILE! --------------  
 
 
There's Something Very Special 
About the Warm Smile
 of Masonic Regularity.
 
-------------- WISDOM -------------- 
 
 
Master's Word Wisdom
Words are not necessarily manifested 
by the use of characters 
as much as they are 
manifested by the Character of Users.
 
-------------- FLOATERS-------------- 
 

When you don't 
Stir Your Masonic Pot, 
you'll not get anything In Depth 
and end up with nothing 
but Floaters.
 
-------------- KNOW THEM! -------------- 
 
 
 Know Your Steps: 
The First Three of Fifteen 
-- 
Titles 
& Results of Work

(EA/Strength;

MM Beauty)

For Further Light: 

-------------- MAKING MASONS! --------------
 
 
 SOYLENT BLUE
 
MAKING MASONS 
OUT OF GOOD MEN 
SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
"And just as in the past
each civilization was the vehicle 
of its own mythology,
developing in character
as its myth became progressively
interpreted, analyzed, and elucidated
by its leading minds,
 so in this modern world
––where the application of science
to the fields of practical life
has now dissolved all cultural horizons,
so that no separate civilization can ever develop again––
each individual 
is the center of a mythology 
of his own,
of which his own intelligible character
 is the Incarnate God,
 so to say,
whom his empirically questing consciousness is to find.
The aphorism of Delphi,
'Know thyself,'
 is the motto.
 
And not Rome, not Mecca, not Jerusalem, Sinai, or Benares,
but each and every 'thou' on earth
is the center of this world,
in the sense of that formula
just quoted from the twelfth-century Book of the Twenty-four Philosophers,
of God as 'an intelligible sphere,
whose center is everywhere.'"

-- Joseph Campbell,
Creative Mythology
 (Vol. IV of The Masks of God), p. 36

 
-------------- PRIORITIES --------------  
 
 
When your Usual Vocation 
isn't also Providing Service, 
Your Time Management Priorities 
Have Yet to Be Worked Well Upon.
 
-------------- CEMENT! -------------- 
 
 
 The Trowel is a Working Tool, 
and it's near next to useless 
for anything other than stabbing other Ruffians 
unless the Apprentice learns 
how to make Cement 
from his Working Materials.
 
For Further Light:
 
-------------- WHINE... -------------- 
 
 
Until the Craft as a whole 
Demand from themselves 
what they Overtly Espouse 
within Symbolic Lodge Rituals, 
the Fraternity shall covertly remain
a dimly lit shell 
filled with Undeveloped Souls 
who Whine about Superfluities 
while Consciously Choosing to Ignore 
the Obvious.
 
-------------- WELL? -------------- 
   

"What are you doing 
that is nourishing 
to your soul today?"
-- Bro. Timothy Hogan 

 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
