Random Building Thoughts - 2024-02-11

   

 -------------- TEACH THEM! -------------- 
 

For Further Light:


  -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
 
   
 -------------- BE APPLIED! --------------
 

In our Craft, 
Men must Be the Tools They Claim to Possess. 
Each Tool's Value is Directly Related 
to How a Man Perfects it within Himself 
and Masterfully Applies it in Life.
 Each is Worthless 
when It Remains an Unapplied Idea 
within his Mind.
 
 -------------- INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT -------------- 
 

 
It's Truly Sad 
that so many Brothers don't Realize 
that Working Tools are Internally Developed 
and only Become an External Reality 
once Made Inside.
 
   -------------- D.U.R. -------------- 

 
Masonry 
is Nothing Less
 than Discovery, Uncovery & Recovery 
for Those Men Who Employ It;
And Far Less for Those Who Don't!  

Want More?  Go For The D.U.R.! 
 
 -------------- WORKED!! -------------- 

 
-------------- WORK 'EM!! -------------- 
 
 
Ya havta have Stones
 to Work 'em!
 
For Further Light:
ASHLARS!
 
  -------------- MYTH -------------- 

"In India, the objective is to be born from the womb of myth, 
not to remain in it, 
and the one who has attained to this “second birth”
 is truly the “twice born,”
 freed from the pedagogical devices of society, 
the lures and threats of myth, 
the local mores,
 the usual hopes of benefits and rewards. 
He is truly “free” (mukti), 
“released while living” (jivan mukti); 
he is that reposeful “superman”
 who is man perfected though
 in our kindergarten of libidinous misapprehensions 
he moves like a being from another sphere."
-- Joseph Campbell, "Bios & Mythos"
selected essay from The Flight of the Wild Gander. 
New World Library 2018. pp 38)
 
  Do we have this within the sphere of Freemasonry?
 
  -------------- CREDENTIALS... --------------
 

 
The 3rd Degree Drama is Clear
 that it doesn't take a lot of Credentials 
to know when Brothers are Ruffians. 
They use Time, Morality and Completion 
as Weapons of Malicious Destruction 
rather than Tools of Benevolent Construction.
 
 -------------- GREAT POWER... -------------- 
 
 
"With Great Power 
Comes Great Responsibility."
-- Brother Ben
 
-------------- BE SHARPER! -------------- 
 
 
 
People are God's Working Tools. 
 If only more were a whole lot sharper.
 
  -------------- BE BETTER... --------------
 
 
 -------------- AOUM_ -------------- 
 

"We’re so engaged in doing things 
to achieve purposes of outer value 
that we forget that the inner value,
 the rapture that is associated with being alive,
 is what it’s all about."
-- Joseph Campbell 
 
 -------------- END -------------- 

 Be Well and Travel Light!
