-------------- RUFFIANS 101 PART 2 --------------
with Coach John S Nagy
ENJOY!
BTW - You can find the meanings
ENJOY!
BTW - You can find the meanings
behind ALL the ruffian names
FULLY TRANSLATED
within one of this book.
-------------- KNOW! --------------
Cowans are NOT imposters of even bad Brothers.
In fact, they are extremely helpful and actually keep
many Lodge doors open through their limited support.
They simple do not want to Square their Work
and have no Desire whatsoever to make their own Cement.
They do not demand anything more
than what they have rightfully earned
and they support the Lodge
with what they are willing to give,
and do so honestly.
Ruffians on the other hand want more
than they rightfully deserve
and 20% of them are willing to be violent to get it.
The non-hostile 80% have a tendency of amending their ways
when confronted
and they bring the other 20%
to swift Justice when pressured with dire Consequences.
It's important to know each of them
for who they are
and you can absolutely depend upon
their very looks betraying them
for who they truly are.
BUT you MUST know how to look and see.
For Further Light:
Just
because Something might not have
a Very Recognizable Masonic Skin
doesn't mean that it doesn't truly have
a Very Recognizable Masonic
Heart!
LEARN TO RECOGNIZE ONE!
-------------- MANAGING EXPECTATIONS --------------
When you are Mentored or Coached
by someone who has not done the Work*,
what
results can you reasonably expect
from your Masonic Training?
SEEK A TRUE GUIDE!
* the Work = What Ritual directs us to do
* the Work = What Ritual directs us to do
to transform ourselves in line
with its directives
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
Much
of what Masonry offers a man
is locked within Metaphor.
Literal minds
comprehend very little of its Beauty.
Figurative minds
dance in its
Light.
Mastery finds ways
for agreement between the two.
BE MASTERFUL!
-------------- STIR! --------------
When you don't Stir your Pot,
You'll get a lot of Floaters
and not much In Depth.
Stir It up and Reach Deeply!
-------------- PROFOUND TRUTH --------------
Ruffians Show Us
that any Effort to Obtain Something
you have Yet to Earn
Brings to you Nothing More
than Substitutions for Real Things,
or Worse.
It is a Shame that so many
cannot Grasp this Simple
and yet Profound Truth.
EARN WHAT YOU DESIRE MOST!
For Further Light:
SPOT THEM! 
Enlightenment:
The Unsettling Marriage of Light
and Severely Aggravated Ignorance.
HOW AGGRAVATED
IS YOUR IGNORANCE?
For Further Light:
-------------- PLUMB GOOD? --------------
-------------- SET IT! --------------
-------------- MAPS --------------
Memorization Installs the Map.
Encouragement Directs the Holder to Follow It.
got maps?
For More Light:
For Further Light:
“It is by going down into the abyss
that we recover the treasures of life.
Where you stumble,
there lies your treasure.
"The very cave you are afraid to enter
turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.”
-- “A Joseph Campbell Companion:
Reflections on the Art of Living.”
I have experienced this time after time.
-------------- HAVE IT? --------------
When you Think that you Have the Word,
you are Mistaken.
You do not Ever have the Word.
That's Its Nature.
The Word can only HAVE you!
Do you know It's Nature?
For Further Light:
-------------- WONDER! --------------
Are you sure about this?
-------------- SHOW IT! --------------
You cannot Reasonable Expect
a man to Show Your Sacred Book
the Honor & Respect
you Refuse to Give his.
How many of your Lodge's Faiths
are represented at your Lodge's Altar?
For Further Light:
-------------- VOSL --------------
I
Long for the Day
when All the Volumes of Sacred Law
which Accurately
Represent
the Many and Varied Faiths
of the Lodge Membership within that
Temple
are REQUIRED to be Honorably Placed
upon Its Altar During Every
Open Lodge.
-------------- END --------------
Be Well and Travel Light!
