Building Builders!: Random Building Thoughts

-------------- TRIVIUM --------------

The Trivium...
|
Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric

Any Questions?

-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------

-------------- DON'T ASSUME! --------------

Don't ever assume
that you know how to apply Cement
just because someone unknowingly entrusted you
with a neat looking Trowel.

-------------- RESISTANCE --------------

A Man's Resistance to Light
may be a Clear Indication
that he may not want
to Accept its Consequences.

-------------- THREE GRAND MASTERS --------------

Honestly now...

by a show of hands...

Who here truly didn't realize
that the first three Grand Masters
were of three entirely different
non-Christian Faiths?

Anyone?

A quick follow up question to consider:

How is it possible that they all got along
so well
and didn't indignantly kick each other
out of their little circle?

What could possibly be underlying
their unbelievably Strong Brotherly Bonds?

-------------- CREATE! --------------

With what
and whom
do YOU surround
and nurture yourself?

-------------- BLINDED --------------

No Access to any Library of Light
shall make a man
smarter or wiser
when his Heart
is Blinded by Superfluities.

-------------- NOT JUST SCIENTISTS --------------

Not just Scientists!

-------------- CIRCUMSCRIPTION --------------

Circumscription 101

When you're required
to Establish Boundaries with someone
who really Should Know Better,
you had better be
darn ready to Maintain them
from that moment on.

-------------- LITERAL TRUTH --------------

Does a Literal Truth
need to be written down
to be valid?

-------------- TRULY APPRECIATED --------------

Sometimes a man
has to Pass,
be Buried
and Rot in his grave
before his Work
is Discovered, Understood
and Truly Appreciated.

-------------- GOT WORK? --------------

What Work Have you Done
Upon Your Spiritual Temple?

-------------- HAPPINESS --------------

The One and ONLY Happiness Rule (that WORKS!):

Choose to be content
no matter how you perceive
life existed for you in the past,

exists for you now
or how you imagine life to exist
for you into the future,

while completely accepting that Life,
in all Its infinite Wisdom,

will continually provide you
with ample opportunities
to change that choice instantly.

-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE --------------

Who is a Mason?

This is a great question for a member of the Craft to answer.

However, to respond to this question with any credibility,
you must first answer the question,
"What is a Mason"
to lay out the foundation of this word.

Second, while you are at it,
you must also then define, "What is a Freemason?"
for to assume the foundation has been laid out
for this word is to assume the house you build upon
it will be constructed upon solid grounding.

Finally, you must additionally define,

"What differentiates one from the other",

so that you do not confuse the two
or anyone else trying to understand who is a Mason.

I'll share this:
A man can be one and not the other.
One is not necessarily a subset of the other.
Being one is not necessarily being the other.

This is not understood by some.
Masons do understand this all too well.

If you come across a person claiming to be a Mason
who doesn't understand this all too well,
be assured that they are most likely not what they claim to be.

Are you up to the challenge?

PROVE IT!
