Random Building Thoughts - 2024-01-13

 

-------------- VEILED --------------


Freemasonry does such a good job
of keeping Masonry a Secret
that far too many of its own members
spend a lifetime within its ranks
and never begin to pull away its veils. 

   For Further Light:

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

-------------- PROBLEMS FACED --------------

The Problems Freemasonry has today
stem from centuries of neglect and decay
arising from an overall lack of Masonry
being practiced by its general membership.
Freemasons get upset at hearing this
and might apply band-aids to cover up
the problems without addressing them Masonicly.
Masons understand the problems all too well
and do something to rebuild
what actually makes good men better.

For Further Light:
BETTERMENT

-------------- CLIFF NOTES --------------

Just Memorizing Ritual alone
is an Attempt to Remember
the CliffsNotes of Learning.
You may Think it's the Same
as Studying and Learning,
but you're Going to Fail at Life's Actual Tests
if you Don't do the Actual Work
that Ritual Reviews.
 
For Further Light:

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


-------------- STEPS OF IGNORANCE --------------

Advancing upon
|the Steps of Ignorance
makes you no less Ignorant
and no Smarter
than had you not taken
any Steps at all.

 -------------- DON'T STEP OVER -------------- 


What Actually Makes Good Men Better?

Only an Actively Engaged in Improvement Process
whereby their Hearts and Minds are
Continually Cultivated toward Greater Civility
toward themselves and others.

Should you step over this in any way,
you may actually be Actively Engaging in Rubbish.

For Further Light:

-------------- AWAKEN! --------------

 
"You know,
when real trouble comes
your humanity is awakened. 
The fundamental human experience
is that of compassion." 
- Joseph Campbell 
 The Hero's Journey

 

 -------------- THE STEPS OF YOUR TEMPLE --------------

What Greets Your Candidates
When they First Enter Upon
The Steps of your Temple?
Are they Steeped
Deep in Complacency?

 -------------- HURTING HISTORY --------------


<sniff> stop...
i don't wanna talk 'bout it...

-------------- NO SUBSTITUTES --------------


Mushroom Masonry Exists
Everywhere that Brothers are Kept in the Dark
and Fed a Regular Diet of Pure Rubbish
on a Regular Basis.
Accept No Substitutes
for the Real Thing!

 -------------- SELECT BETTER! --------------

 
80 to 90% of Your Life
Is Caused By Your Choices and Decisions.
If You Are Displeased,
Make Better Selections.
 
 -------------- FC STUFF --------------
 

"I 'tried' quadrivium once.
It was kind of a fellowcraft four-play."

-- Kevin Schneider

-------------- SMARTER BEASTS --------------

Without a Properly Prepared Heart,
any Head Learning merely brings about
a smarter ungoverned individual. 

In other words, teaching an unprepared heart any head stuff
without further Cultivation of his heart
is only helping to create a smarter beast. 

Do you truly want to be Responsible
for unleashing it upon mankind? 

No? Then do the Work pointed toward
by the Preston-Webb based Entered Apprentice Degree
and make sure no more Light is provided
to those who refuse to do this Work,
either directly or indirectly. 

It is the very core of reason behind
the seven liberal arts & sciences
not being provided to undisciplined souls. 

-------------- LIGHT MATH -------------- 

light math 101:

1) darkness plus darkness = darkness
2) darkness plus light = light
3) light cannot multiply darkness
4) darkness cannot multiply light
5) light divided by darkness = light
6) darkness divided by light = light 

-------------- PRELUDE --------------  

Lack of Harmony
often acts as a Prelude
to change.  

-------------- END --------------   

 Be Well and Travel Light!
