Random Building Thoughts - 2024-02-06

 

   -------------- MASONIC HEARTS! -------------- 

It was not their skills or brains
that made the Ruffians' Ashlars Rough.
It was their HEARTS.
They didn't do the EA Work.
Hence, they did the FC Work
on an Improperly and Ill-Prepared Foundation.
That is also what Made them so Dangerous.
Empowered Brains Governed
by Immature Hearts
are a Recipe for Civil Disharmony at Best.

  -------------- HECATOMBS! -------------- 
 
 
No Brother Should Leave
 Emptier for His Efforts 
To Attend what Should Always Be
a Hecatomb!

 For More Light:


 -------------- VEILS -------------- 
 
 
Freemasonry does such a good job 
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.
 
-------------- MEN OF DISTINCTIONS! -------------- 
 
 
<snicker> For those of you who get Distinctions.
-- Coach John S Nagy

(Special thanks to an anonymous Brother
for his contribution.)
 
 -------------- MYTH -------------- 
 
“Here you have the important transition
that took place about 500 B.C.
This is the date of the Buddha and of Pythagoras
and Confucius and Lao-tzu,
 if there was a Lao-tzu.
 
"This is the awakening of man’s reason.
No longer is he informed and governed
by the animal powers.
No longer is he guided
by the analogy of the planted earth,
no longer by the courses of the planets
—but by reason . . . the way of man.
 
"And of course what destroys reason is passion.
The principal passion in politics is greed.
 That is what pulls you down.”
-- Joseph Campbell,
The Power of Myth (with Bill Moyers)

 
 -------------- KINDNESS -------------- 
 
 
"Kindness 
is the language 
which the deaf can hear 
and the blind can see."
--Mark Twain
 
(Hat tip to Bro. David Henderson!)
 
 -------------- BEHOLD! -------------- 
 

 For Further Light:
 
 -------------- TRUTH -------------- 
 

Truth is not an illusion*, 
even though you must force your eyes 
to see differently at times 
for you to envision it. 
-- Coach  John S Nagy 
 
* A self-created 3D Stereogram
showing TRUTH and a S&Cs,
for those who have eyes to see!
 
 -------------- YOU ARE THE ANSWER! -------------- 
 
 
“Life has no meaning. 
Each of us has meaning 
and we bring it to life. 
It is a waste to be asking the question 
when you are the answer.”
― Joseph Campbell
 
 -------------- ASSUMPTIONS -------------- 
 
 
If many of the assumptions and premises made 
by Brothers over the last 300 years are wrong, 
then what we are doing as members
 to improve the Craft 
might actually be counterproductive.
 [TCU, Page 56]

 -------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
