-------------- BLOCKAGE --------------
Lodges
Obviously Attract Members
Due to the Light they Offer
and Members Die
or Leave
before they Obtain that Light.
Let's Find Out
What's in the
Way!
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
-------------- INVITATION --------------
The Craft uses
Archaic Words like "Charity"
as a way of Inviting men
to
Think Deeper about Words in General.
For those who don't want
to Think
Deeper,
it Invites them
to Run Fundraisers.
-------------- BRIGHT ENOUGH --------------
You only have to
Shine Bright Enough
to Light your Path
so you don't Stumble carelessly
upon the blind men
before you.
-------------- EMPOWERMENT --------------
Men Empowered
beyond their Grasp
are only outdone
by the ignorant fools
who Empower them.
-------------- DESIRE MORE --------------
I
am not concerned
with immediate needs of the Fraternity;
there are
enough Brothers supporting it
as it currently is.
I am looking at
what
we need into the future,
sweeping away the rubbish
from a path laid long
ago
and making sure it is well lit
for those who desire more!
-------------- LIMITS --------------
-------------- TEMPLE --------------
If
you examine Ritual,
you shall find that it
directs every person who
understands it
to Work upon his own Ashlar.
Should he do so,
he shall
Cultivated his soul (heart and head)
and in doing so,
he shall develop
his Temple
of and for Humanity.
-------------- LEARN! --------------
Ritual has Countless Arrows
Pointing in a Multitude of Directions
and only those who can Recognize them
shall see where they Point.
Learn to Recognize them!
-------------- JUST PUNISHMENTS --------------
Electing
and Promoting Unworthy men
leads to poor performance
and negative
impacts upon the people
and Organizations they serve.
The perpetually
voiced
dissatisfaction, frustration and angst
you hear from those who
support this process
is merely unrecognized Just and Worthy punishment
for the poor performance
of each elector and promoter.
-------------- MYTH --------------
Once again, that's M-E-T-A-P-H-O-R-S!
"Like
dreams,
myths are productions of the human imagination.
Their images,
consequently
––though derived from the material world
and its supposed
history––
are, like dreams,
revelations of the deepest hopes, desires
and
fears, potentialities and conflicts,
of the human will
––which in turn
is moved
by the energies of the organs of the body
operating variously
against each other
and in concert.
Every myth, that is to say,
whether
or not by intention,
is psychologically symbolic.
Its narratives and
images
are to be read, therefore,
not literally,
but as metaphors." --
Joseph Campbell,
"The Inner Reaches of Outer Space:
Metaphor As Myth
and As Religion" p.
27-28
-------------- WHY BOTHER? --------------
When you don't ever Intend
to Set Foot Outside the Door,
Why Bother Memorizing any Map?

-------------- DARK HUMOR --------------
-------------- TRUTH --------------
-------------- FILED UNDER: MUSIC APPRECIATION --------------
C,
E-flat, and G go into a bar.
The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't
serve minors."
So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between
them.
After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat.
F
comes in and tries to augment the situation,
but is not sharp enough.
D
comes in and heads for the bathroom,
saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a
second."
Then A comes in, but the bartender
is not convinced that this
relative of C is not a minor.
Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding
at the end of the bar
and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor
I've
found in this bar tonight."
E-flat comes back the next night
in a
three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes.
The bartender says,
"You're
looking sharp tonight.
Come on in, this could be a major development."
Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit
and everything else, and is
au natural.
Eventually C sobers up
and realizes in horror that he's
under a rest.
C is brought to trial,
found guilty of contributing to the
diminution of a minor,
and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without
Coda
at an upscale correctional facility.
