-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
For Further Light:
Discourse
-------------- KNOW TRANSFORMATION--------------
No Work,
No Transformation.
Know Work,
Know Transformation!
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
What Hampers Craft Growth
are Accepted Masons not Becoming
the Free Masons They Were Intended to Be.
You Can Change this,
but Only for Yourself.
For Further Light:
<I got mine! You get yours yet?>
Masonry Equips
Serious Travelers
with High Beams
to Light their Paths.
-------------- MAKE IT SO! --------------
To Make a Difference,
You Must Commit to Difference,
and Honor It Without Exception!

-------------- THE WORD --------------
FILED UNDER:
Master Mason Level Wisdom
The Word is Not Any word
that Can Be Written or Uttered.
It is a Word that Requires
No Aid from Others to Render.
It is Recognized by all
who See Truth.
For Further Light:
-------------- NO "AND" --------------
Don't ever
with a binary talking Jedi
with a drawn light saber.
Either "Free" or "Accepted"
Are You.
"And" is There.
For Further Light:
-------------- DECODED --------------
Free = Exceptional; Pure; Extraordinary;
Superior; Masterful (Master)
Accepted = Entered; Initiated;
Joined; Made (Apprentice)
(source: Building Free Men)
is that if marriage isn't a first priority
in your life you're not married.
It's an extremely important decision,
that of marriage,
because it does amount to
and require a yielding
and the yielding has to be total
to now being a member of a dyad
and acting in relation to that twoness.
As I've said to people
who are worried about it,
when you make what you call
a sacrifice to the other person,
that's not what you're sacrificing to.
You're sacrificing to the relationship.
The relationship is the sacrificial field,
where both of you are relating
to the relationship and then you are,
as it were, two together.
Really like that yin-yang thing.
(If you hang on to being the yin,
or hang on to being the yang in this thing,
as a separate unit, you don't have a marriage.)
Then everything in your life from then on
relates to that relationship.
And when judgments of actions
and decisions at various times
have to be taken in that sense,
then you're married."
-- Joseph Campbell,
"The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work"
-------------- THE TROUBLE --------------
The Trouble that Arises
with Taking any Faith Literally
is that this Manner
Produces Individuals
who shall Find Nothing But Flaws.
This is because
many Metaphors Translate
very Poorly when Taken Factually.
Until every Weak Link
is Strengthened in Wisdom's Chain,
it shall Fail at its
Weakest Fool.
-------------- DIRECT! --------------
FILED UNDER:
Things you ought to know
The main difference between
SUBDUE and SUPPRESS
is the former seeks to direct what is
while the later seeks to withhold what is.
-------------- JUDGE --------------
Our job IS to Figure out
WORTHINESS and to JUDGE!
1) Our Charge:
"Our laws and regulations
you are strenuously to support,
and be always ready to assist
in seeing them duly executed.
You are not to palliate,
or aggravate,
the offenses of your brethren;
but, in the decision of every trespass
against our rules,
you are to JUDGE
with candor,
admonish with friendship,
and reprehend with justice."
-- (Duncan)
2) You are determining worthiness and judging when you sign a petition.
3) You are determining worthiness and judging when you cast your ballot.
Judgment is not a bad thing.
False and hypocritical judgment is.
-------------- BE SUCCESSFUL! --------------
Any Successful Circumscription
or Subduing of Passions and Desires
Begins with Accurate Emotional Awareness.
-------------- END --------------
Be Well and Travel Light!
