Random Building Thoughts - 2023-09-16

 

 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 

FILED UNDER: 
WATCH OUT FOR THE LAVA & LASER BEAMS!!!!!!

You Crossed in Front of the Three Great Lights!

 -------------- CEMENT -------------- 
 
Masonic Cement 
is not just Brotherly Love and Affection; 
it's also the undeniable 
mental and emotional bond existing between
1) what or who you have before you, 
2) what you understand and accept 
about what or who is before you 
and 
3) what you make effort to Build Strong 
due to your desire to Work 
with what or who is before you. 
 
For Further Light: 
 

 RESOURCE: 
  -------------- OBLIGATIONS --------------  
 

It is Never Enough 
to just Remember your Obligations. 
You Must LIVE THEM 
for your Life to Change 
for the Better!

For Further Light:
 
 -------------- SHOW --------------  
 

It should be enough 
to Show a man 
what must be Done.

For Further Light:
 
 -------------- EACH --------------  
 
 
Each New Generation of Men 
must Discover, Learn and Apply 
Masonry by and for Themselves.

For Further Light:
 
 -------------- FOCUS --------------  
 

It's most unfortunately 
that far too many men think 
that the map is the territory 
and focus far too much 
energy and time upon maps.

For Further Light:
 
 -------------- THOUGHTS --------------       
 
 
...and furthermore, 
all those thoughts 
you think you're having,
they're all inside your head!

For Further Light:
 THINK!
 
 -------------- SUPPORT? --------------  
 

One of the most Disappointing Aspects 
of the Current Craft that far too many men Experience 
is the Apathetic Support each Abundantly Receives 
when they Seek to Employ It toward Bettering themselves.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- SEEK IT! -------------- 
 

When you explore the Work 
that your Brothers don't require you to do,
it becomes clear as to what 
the true Secret being kept from you is. 
It's also why Lodges have problems 
and troubles with its members, 
why Grand Lodges do not trust its members 
to make mature choices 
and why the world must keep you in chains. 
 
Work it out and you'll know it for sure.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- INSIST! -------------- 
 

FILED UNDER: 
Not So Obvious!
 
When Anyone Attempts to Show You Where You Are, 
Insist on the Shutterbug's Name!
 
-------------- WISE GUY --------------
 
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

“I always feel uncomfortable 
when people speak about ordinary mortals
because I’ve never met 
an ordinary man, woman, or child.”
-- Joseph Campbell, 
The Power of Myth (with Bill Moyers)
 
AMEN!
 
-------------- MENTORING --------------  
 
 
Freemasonic Mentoring & Masonic Mentoring 
are two distinct activities with different Aims. 
 
The former Guides you intending to make you 
a Better Member within the Organization 
while the latter Guides your Soul 
from Youth to Manhood, 
preparing your Spirit for Age; 
all with the Intent of making you 
a Better Man.

For Further Light:

-------------- PALE SHADOW -------------- 
 

Of what is understood about Masonry 
by the majority of each generation of Freemasons 
is a pale shadow of what it was, 
what it is and what it can be.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- BATON -------------- 
 
 
 
A man cannot hand over 
his hard earned skillful ability to any other man. 
All he can do is explain, demonstrate and have faith in 
those he surrounds himself. 
 
If they are of like Character, 
they too will do the Work required of them 
to earn for themselves what he earned. 
 
This is no secret 
but it is a path few undertake much 
less understand.

For Further Light:
  
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
