Random Building Thoughts - 2024-01-17

 

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

You Went Through All Them Degrees
without Doing Any of the Work
they Pointed Toward
and You Want Me to Think
You're Masterful?
Sorry, I don't do Stupid.

-------------- THE MASONIC PATH 1 --------------

 -------------- THE MASONIC PATH 2 --------------

 

FILE UNDER:
The Craft Lodge Path

For those of you who want to
Know what to expect after you
Complete that Temple,
Obtain the MM's Secrets, and
"Get" The Master's Word.

For Further Light:
The Craft Mastered!
Page 171!

  -------------- TERRITORY --------------

 

 

Masonry:
The Rocky Territory
Towards which
Freemasonry's Roadmap Points You.
What Areas have you Explored?

 

For Further Light:
Get Real!

-------------- NOT POSSIBLE! --------------

 I: Who's to say that Hiram
didn't give up the Master's Word
before he died?

R: Only those who know
that it can't possibly be done
by one, or two, that's who.

For Further Light:
The Master's Word

-------------- LEARN TO LOVE TO LEARN --------------

Mastery Starts
With The Soul
of a Student. 

-------------- SYNC THE SOUL! --------------

Synchronicity occurs all the time.
It's only when the heart and mind
consistently seek and find meaning
that it cultivates a soul's fulfillment. 

-------------- BE MORE THAN A TITLE BEARER --------------

 

When "Mastery" Degrades
to a Perfunctory Title,
and Words become a Backdrop
for Shallow Initiatives,
the whole Heart of your Rituals
becomes Superficial Plays
with subtle Immoralities
and Blatant Hypocrisies.

 -------------- STUDY! --------------

 Agnoiology

1. The study or theory of human ignorance.

2. The study of things of which cannot be known.

3. The doctrine concerning those things of which we are necessarily ignorant.

4. (metaphysics) the doctrine or theory of ignorance, which seeks to determine what we are necessarily ignorant of.

 

Origin: From Greek: ἀγνωστ, agnost, "not known"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge."

 

(Agnosy is another word for "ignorance".)

-------------- PRETENDING -------------- 

 

FILED UNDER: 

 

Let's Just Continue to Pretend

 

Until Freemasonic Activities focus upon the Improvement needs of its Members, little to no Masonry shall ever occur within their hearts and minds and the petitioners these Lodges attract shall be of like spirit. 

 

Change must occur from within the hearts and minds of existing members to manifest Betterment of Freemasonry's current lot. 

 

If you believe you can beat the odds by faking it too, before you become yet one more disillusioned and frustrated soul, first take a good look around you at what nearly 300 years of faking it has wrought. 

 

It is clear to any honest discerning observer that the Craft as a whole has not beat the odds so far by faking anything.

 

When you want to beat the odds and bring about change for the Better, you must yourself change for the Better and do so in ways that manifest the words that spell out what the at Betterment change is. Until you are those words, that change for the Better has not occurred.

 

Be Those Words! And be Them Masterfully!

-------------- PRIMARY MESSAGE --------------

 

 The Primary Message of the Third Degree

 

No matter who you might look toward to provide you Light, 

your own consistently directed efforts toward this end 

will outshine anything that could possibly be provided to you 

by any other human being.

-------------- CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU! --------------

If you are waiting for someone else
to make the Organization Better,
don't hold your breath.
Betterment begins with you!  

 -------------- 2 BY 4 --------------

 

Sometimes
the only Working Tool
that is Instrumental in
Enlightening some Brothers
is the well-known
but often overlooked
"Cosmic Two-By-Four".
When Properly Applied,
It's Guaranteed to Smart.  

  -------------- COME HERE TO DO? --------------

I: What come you here to do?
R: Learn! Subdue! Improve! Inspire!
Live! Bake & Share Cookies!

 -------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
