Random Building Thoughts - 2024-03-09

 

  
-------------- SAD HUMOR --------------


Alas, the Great Brotherly Divide!
 
  -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  
 
 
For Further Light:
 
  -------------- BANTER... -------------- 
 

FILED UNDER:
Why We Study the Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences
BEFORE we study Metaphysics 

  You can't reasonably expect
your metaphysical banter
to have any credibility
when you have blatantly
dismissed your physics study.

“Consequently he who wishes to attain to human perfection,
must therefore first study Logic,
next the various branches of Mathematics in their proper order,
then Physics,
and lastly Metaphysics.”

“He, however, who begins with Metaphysics,
will not only become confused in matters of religion,
but will fall into complete infidelity.”

 “Guide for the Perplexed”,
by Moses Maimonides 

 -------------- WHY! -------------- 
 
 
 (Hat tip to Brother Nick Adair!)
 
For Further Light:
 
 -------------- FIND IT! --------------  
 

The Irony of Inner Work
is that you Find Inside
Exactly What has been there
All Along.

  -------------- FOCUS! --------------


Freemasonry is not designed 
to change itself or any member within it,
 that is, other than to change them 
to support its Initiating Systems. 
 It does offer opportunities 
to change yourself though. 
Why not take advantage of its opportunities
 and make the best of it
 and yourself?

  -------------- PSA --------------  

Brace Yourself!

  -------------- MYTH -------------- 
 
"One of the functions of mythology 
is to present an image of the 
in such a way that it becomes 
the carrier of this mystical realization,
so that wherever you look
it’s as though you are looking at an icon,
a holy picture, 
and the walls of space and time 
open out into the deep dimension of mystery, 
which is a dimension within ourselves, 
as well as out there.
 
"This dimension can open through the science of today
even more wonderfully than it opened 
through the science of the second millennium B.C.. 
There is absolutely no conflict 
between science and the religious mood 
or the mythological realization
—but there is a conflict between 
the science of the twentieth century A.D. 
and the twentieth century B.C.. 
This is what we are getting in our religion, 
because the whole thing became petrified 
in the fourth century at the time of Theodosius 
when the authority of Byzantium 
came down with St. Augustine 
to establish the beliefs
 that had to be accepted. 
From this came the petrifaction in our tradition 
and the split between the scientific 
and the religious view."
-- Joseph Campbell, 
Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine
 -------------- THREE CENTURIES -------------- 
 
 
GL Era Freemasonry:

Enlightening the Worthy
|and Busying Ruffians
for near three Centuries!
 
 
  -------------- LOGIC DICTATES... -------------- 
 

 -------------- BEST THEORY YET! --------------


"Coach, I've just been through most of 'Free Men'.
It's the best theory for understanding
the real foundations of Masonry and Freemasonry
I have ever seen or read.
It sets everything into motion.
I can see how it must precede 'The Craft Unmasked!'
It's gonna be hard for some to swallow the theory...
but it is by far the best one yet!"

-- Bro. David Moran

Theory? I just presented the facts!
