-------------- CHARACTER --------------
FILED UNDER:
It is not enough to Properly Think;
one must Properly Do!
"Virtue is but heroic bravery,
to do the thing thought to be true,
in spite of all enemies of flesh or spirit,
in despite of all temptations or menaces.
"Man is accountable for the uprightness of it.
Devout enthusiasm is far easier than a good action.
The end of thought is action;
the sole purpose of Religion is an Ethic.
"Theory,
in political science,
is worthless,
except for the purpose
of being realized in practice"
-- Bro. Albert Pike "Morals & Dogma
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------
Should we take the quote:
"...that religion
in which all men agree..."
...and do so within
its "intended" context,
would the quote not imply
that it is referring to
an actual
in which men do truly agree?
If so,
then describe this religion!
(Hint: Bro. Anderson actually describes it!
Can you spell it out as he did?)

-------------- PROBLEMS --------------
Craft Problems are Personal in Nature.
Change the Person for the Better
and so Follows the Craft.
-------------- GREAT END -------------- 
FILED UNDER:
"The great end is not knowledge,
Faith is not evidential. 
It is not enough to Properly Think;
one must Properly Do!
"The great end is not knowledge,
but action."
-Thomas Huxley

-------------- EVIDENCE --------------
Faith is not evidential.
Once evidence exists,
faith ceases to be faith.
-------------- MORE OF THE SAME --------------
Candidates Who are Unmotivated,
Highly Complacent
and Meritless in Life
are Likely be the Same as Members.
-------------- CHECKERED --------------
It's
not enough to give lip service
to the checkered pavement symbolism
by
saying it represents good and evil.
You must go beyond the veil,
reach
into that symbolism,
ask yourself how it applies toward your life
and
then apply it without waiver.
Waving a checkered flag looks good on the
surface,
but carrying what that flag
represents a battle within
where
your life depends upon
the actions you take
is a whole different level
of activity.
-------------- HISTORY --------------
History is a Tool;
Beneficial in the Hands
of Humane Artisans;
Ruinous in the Hands
of Inhumane Malcontents.
-------------- MYTH --------------
"There are today no horizons,
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"
Craft
Troubles shall always Require Solutions
that first Remove the Problems
that Plague it.
The Craft's Challenge shall always be
Following the
Steps
that Lead to Mastery,
not Title.
