Random Building Thoughts - 2024-01-06

  

-------------- INSTRUCTIONS --------------

What if I told you
Obligations are Operating Instructions
that you Bind yourself Toward Doing
and Not Something you have to say
to get a Title.

<sigh> unfortunately,
this goes in one ear
and out the other
of far too many.

For Further Light:
a-brother-asks-oaths-vows-promises

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

-------------- END RESULT --------------

 

In all the Invested Time,
at all the Attended Events
and on all the Gathered Light,
can you Honestly say
that you Truly Know that
What you've Crafted as a Result
is Masterful?

  -------------- THE SOUL WORK --------------


FILED UNDER: Hidden in Plain Sight
 
EA: Heart Work - To Learn to Subdue one's Passion and keep them within Due Bounds, including Circumscription of one's Desires, Establishing one's Priorities, Time Management, Divestment Vs&Ss, Investment Vs, Etc. (ALL HEART DISCIPLINES!)
 
FC: Head Work - To Learn to Improve one's self in Masonry: Mental Training, Pattern 
 Recognition and Application in 7 key realms (7LAs&Ss). (ALL MENTAL DISCIPLINES!)
 
COMMON THREAD: Learning. Disciplines
UNCOMMON THREADS: Heart-Disciplines (EA) and Head-Disciplines (FC)
 
Masonic Goal: To Learn!
 A. Heart-Disciplines
 B. Head-Disciplines
Heart Work + Head Work = Soul Work
 
(Not to be confused with Spirit Work - the object of the Master's Work!)
 
The Work of the first two degrees are designed to cultivate the Soul and prepare the soul for 
Spiritual Work!!
 
My 2 cents

-------------- IMPORTANT LESSON --------------

When you Can't Differentiate between
the Important and Unimportant in Life,
you've Missed the Most Important Lesson
Presented by the Masonic Threshing-floor.

If you don't know what that is,
you've not opened your eyes wide enough.

For Further Light:

 

-------------- THE GIFT OF FEAR --------------

FILED UNDER: 
 The Gift of Fear!

Success is often times avoiding the landmines
that fears warn us about in advance.
Interestingly, a lack of fear is itself dangerous at times
and it is too often a reflection of ignorant confidence. 

True wisdom acknowledges dangers
and the gift of fear lets us know 
that we perceive them.  

Only fools dismiss this gift
without further investigation
and confirmation as to the reality
of that perception. 
 

-------------- OBJECT --------------


FILED UNDER:
Why we have so many ignorant members...

Can you say
"Fellow Craft Work"?!

You know...
Learning How to Learn!!!

-------------- TRUE RELIEF --------------

When you Don't Realize
the Use of this Tool
Provides to you Your
First Experiences of True Relief,
You Miss Its Point Altogether!

-------------- UNDERSTANDING REQUIRED! --------------

Knowledge Requires
No Understanding.
Wisdom Does!

-------------- JERKING AROUND --------------

No matter the Insight,
the Revelation,
the Epiphany,
or the Find,
if it hasn't Brought you to Living Better,
you're just Jerking around.

 -------------- THOUGHT-PROVOKER --------------

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

 

For Further Light:

-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
