Random Building Thoughts - 2024-02-28

 

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

 
I've filed this under: Bumper Sticker Philosophies
 
For Further Light:
 
 -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 
 
 
For Further Light:
Operative vs Speculative
 
 -------------- TV SET BONDS -------------- 
 
 
In all your diatribes
 over those who would sit and watch tv
 rather than attend your lodge meetings,
 have you ever stopped 
and asked yourself 
if you seriously want a man coming to lodge
 who's more likely to
 develop stronger bonds with a tv set 
over people?
 
 -------------- REVELATIONS -------------- 
 
 
"I have been blinded
 by my own 'brilliance' 
many times,
 only to realize
 it was because 
I was focusing on
 my own shadow."
-- Bro. Jeffrey Blaisdell
 
 -------------- ALLEGORY -------------- 
 
 
(Hat tip to an inquiring future Brother!)
 
 -------------- PSA -------------- 
 
    
But to remain teachable does NOT make you an Apprentice forever!
 

 -------------- INITIATION -------------- 
 
 
Initiation doesn't Occur in Your Head 
and Nothing you Read Shall Prepare it. 
Moreover, What you Read may Ruin it. 
When You're already Prepared in Your Heart, 
your Head Won't Lead you.
 However, Afterward Ignorance
 is Great Woe.
 
 -------------- MYTH -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- LAY IT! -------------- 
 

To All Those Men 
Who Claim to Be Forever Apprentices: 
Get Off Your Butts 
and Lay Your Foundations! 
 
 For Further Light:
FOUNDATIONS!

 -------------- YOU ARE! -------------- 
 
You are not one but many Ashlars,
Scattered by the four winds of life.
Gather thee them together;
Smooth them one by one;
Raise them, Fit them and Cement them,
To Manifest a Unified Temple of Light.
 
Be then the Beacon for others,
Whose scattered Stones,
Lay in the dark out-lands of Humanity.
Sew them eyes that they may see Beauty;
Hearts that they may feel Strength;
Ears that they may hear Wisdom;
And Voices so that they may thunder,
in wondrous and joyous song, "Alleluia!"
 
You are not one but many Ashlars!
Know that your scatterings are for purpose.
You know so you shall know you know,
and so others may then know too.
Collect yourself and be!
 
 -------------- END --------------  

 Be Well and Travel Light!
