-------------- HUMOR --------------
Yep. Line please?
For Further Light:
Understand?
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
GATE KEEPER
Are you up for the Job?
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
When
you Truly want to Know
How Well the Process Works,
Find out how many
Petitioners
Make it through
to become An Actual
Twenty Year Active
Member.
-------------- WELL? --------------
When What You're Doing
Produces Men Who Eventually Go Away,
What Exactly Then Are You
Actually Producing?
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
It is very misleading to believe our Fraternity
is Speculative and not Operative in nature.
This belief assumes members do not Toil.
Nothing could be further from the truth
and more damaging to any member who believes it.
Although for generations there are Freemasons
who have come and gone
and Toiled not
and there is no doubt that this pattern
shall repeat far into the future,
to be a Mason,
One Must Toil!
No Building occurs without Toil.
Work is the nature of Masonry!
You can "speculate" ad nausea
but without Applying Sound Speculation
nothing occurs Masterfully.
Presently members of the Fraternity
are not required to both Speculate and Operate.
Sadly,
this explains why nothing gets done at times.
Apprentice Ritual directs us toward Work;
so too does Fellow Craft Ritual.
When you only Speculate upon Work,
then you Toil not.
This is neither the Intent nor Nature of Masonry.
Look toward those who Apply Sound Speculation.
They are the Masons within the Craft!
They are the Operators!
For Further Light:
LOOK!
LOOK!
-------------- APPLICATION! --------------
There is no Masonic Learning
without Work!
Speculation itself
is not Work!
Only Proper
and Consistent Application
Proves any Lesson
is actually Learned.

-------------- WHAT'S BECOME --------------

NOW: Repeat back some Scripts
and some Motions.
THEN: Masterfully Plan Projects,
Coordinate Crews
& Build Cathedrals.

-------------- BFF --------------
For Further Light:
When you've yet to become
your own best friend,
you're missing out on
the best relationship friend
you'll ever have.
-------------- FEAT --------------
Apprentice Wisdom
It's an awesome feat
It's an awesome feat
to know yourself
and a wholly different feat
to accept yourself
and remain friends
once you do.
-------------- CRAFT YEARS --------------
Craft Years
are No True Measure
of Craft Mastery.
Study Ritual In Depth.
Don't Assume Younger Members
Can't Know
or that Older Members
are Craft Authorities.
Think for Yourself!
Learn More!
Make Your Years Count.
For Further Light:
-------------- HOLEY --------------
Do the things you rely upon
have Integrity?
Yup,
this question includes yourself!
(patch them holes!)
(patch them holes!)
-------------- SERIOUS? --------------
Expect Not to be taken Serious
by Outsiders Who Clearly See
that Your Title
Doesn't Match Your
Skills, Abilities & Maturity.
-------------- MYTH --------------
no mythogenetic zones.
Or rather, the
mythogenetic zone
is the individual human heart.
Individualism and
spontaneous pluralism—
the free association of men and women of like
spirit,
under protection of a secular, rational state
with no
pretensions to divinity
—are in the modern world the only honest
possibilities:
each the creative center of authority for himself,
in
Cusanus's circle without circumference
whose center is everywhere,
and
where each is the focus of God's gaze."
-- Joseph Campbell,
"The Masks of God, Vol. IV:
Creative Mythology"
Freemasonry doesn't Provide
Wisdom to its Members.
It Provides Lighted Paths to Wisdom.
It is up to each Member
to Travel those Paths
Should he Desire
Wisdom for himself.
For Further Light:
PATHS!
-------------- CREDIBLE --------------
When you don't trust yourself,
how credible is your mistrust?
-------------- TEACH! --------------
Freemasonry Teaches Men
that Building Upon Unprepared Foundations,
Condemned any Grand
or Important Undertaking
from the Start.
Be Well and Travel Light!
