Random Building Thoughts - 2023-09-30

 

 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
 
THE MYSTERY 
HAS BEEN SOLVED!!!!!
 
This could be the Egyptian equivalent 
to the meaning behind the Ruffian's Names, 
which if you have my book 
"A Brother Asks: Volume 1", 
except you know the riddle 
has been solved!

Tease:
True Master

-------------- GOOD MEMORIES! -------------- 
    

This is only one hour of 
a planned two hour presentation.

This entire presentation 
is an overview of the materials 
that can be found in 
"Building Cement 
- Uncommonly Concrete Masonic Education - 
Volume 8" 
and can be found here: 
 
 -------------- DUES --------------  
 
 
 Feemasonry: 
 
A Masonic Fraternity 
where the Dues are everything.
 
What's Driving Your Lodge?
 
-------------- CHARACTER -------------- 
 
 
What phases 
are you going through?
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 
 
What are you discovering?
 
 --------------  STRUGGLE WELL! -------------- 
 
 
Facing a day
 without the right quest
 is a day confronted 
without an enjoyable struggle. 
 
What are you enjoying?
 
-------------- ONE MOMENT --------------  


One Unsubdued Moment 
of Ugly Thoughtlessness
 can Kill & Bury a Lifetime of Beauty 
in Foul Rubbish.
 
What have you buried?

-------------- FAILING --------------  
 
 
The Craft shall continuously Fail 
to Build Better Lodges 
when they don't Build Men Better. 
 
What are you going to do about it?
 
 -------------- EVIL --------------  
 

 “When a man is getting 
better he understands more and more clearly 
the evil that is still left in him. 
When a man is getting worse 
he understands his own badness less and less. 
 
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: 
a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. 
 
This is common sense, really. 
You understand sleep when you are awake, 
not while you are sleeping. 
You can see mistakes in arithmetic 
when your mind is working properly: 
while you are making them you cannot see them. 
You can understand the nature of drunkenness 
when you are sober, 
not when you are drunk. 
Good people know about both good and evil: 
bad people do not know about either.”
-- C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

(Hat tip to Bro. Ward Webber)
 
-------------- CALL INTO QUESTION -------------- 
  

The Moment you Refer to anyone within the Society 
as a Real Brother or a Real Mason 
is the Instant you call into Question 
the Quality of the Society 
as a Whole.
 
How are you referring?

For Further Light:
 
-------------- BE DIRECTED WELL! -------------- 
 
 
 
Your enthusiasm 
is best directed 
wisely.  
 
What directs 
your enthusiasm?
 
-------------- ATTRACTION --------------  


Has it ever Occurred to you 
that you Wouldn't have Problems Attracting 
and Retaining Members 
if what you Offered 
was Actually Attractive 
and Fulfilling to them?
 
What are you attracting?

-------------- HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT --------------
 
 
 When you cannot recognize 
the value before you, 
you are akin to 
a blind man bound 
before a rich banquette.
 
What are you doing
to improve this?
 
-------------- MYTH --------------   
 

 For Further Light:
MONO-MYTH

 
Where are you 
in your quest?
 
-------------- FLANK! --------------  
 

 
Flank all advice 
between two thick slabs of doubt. 
 
What doubts advice you?
 
-------------- CHANGE! --------------  
 

“Only the wisest 
and the stupidest of men 
never change.”
-- Confucius
 
 What changes 
do you experience?
 
-------------- MORE THAN SEEING! -------------- 
 

The challenge is not just seeing; 
It's recognizing, understanding and applying!
 
How's that working for you? 
 
-------------- HELD TO ACCOUNT -------------- 
 

Problems are Seldomly Dealt with Swiftly and Cleanly 
until Language has so Succinctly and Accurately Identified them 
and with such Sufficient Clarity 
that to not Deal with them in such a manner 
would Draw much Unwanted Attention 
from those that would be held to Account for them. 
 
Are your problems 
framed well?
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
