-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  

 

 -------------- APPLICATION! --------------  

 

 

Knowledge is not Power; 

It's Inventory.

 It's only Through 

Its Proper Application 

that It Truly Empowers.

 

-------------- WHAT MUST BE DONE... --------------  

 

 

It is enough to show men what must be done. 

Men follow through and let nothing stand in their way. 

Boys, though, find every excuse

 not to do what must be done. 

The Craft shows men what must be done.

 That is all though. 

It is up to each man to then do without excuse. 

Failure finds those who don't do what must be done.

 

-------------- DIFFERENCES --------------  

 

 Freemasonry does not make

 good men better. 

Freemasonry seeks to make 

Good Members Better 

and supports this end 

without wavering in the hope 

that by doing so,

 these Bettered Members 

may eventually come to know 

and embrace Masonry. 

 It is only by Seeking 

and Practicing Masonry, 

not Freemasonry, 

that a Good Man

 becomes a Better Man. 

The first step toward that end

 is Realizing that there actually

 is a difference.

 Should you get upset by this information?

 Only if you want Better for yourself.

-------------- MYTH --------------  

 

 “A bit of advice
given to a young Native American
at the time of his initiation:
'As you go the way of life,
you will see a great chasm.
Jump.
It is not as wide as you think."
-- A Joseph Campbell Companion:
Reflections on the Art of Living

  

-------------- MUSIC --------------  

 

 

Son: Dad, what do you know about sheet music?

Me: Well son, I really didn't know they liked music... but I imagine if it's baaaad enough, it'll put you to sleep pretty quickly.

 

Son: SHEET Music Dad! SHEET Music!

Me: Only when I have too many prunes and beans son.

 

Son: <sigh> Ewe are too much!

Me: You already know that you can expect ramifications of shear nonsense from me at times.

 

Son: I have herd this before, Dad.

Me: That's music to my eyes son.

 

Son: What is?

Me: Sheet Music!

 

Son: <groan> 

Me: <grin>

 

-------------- GUIDELINES... -------------- 
 

 

Drop yar anchor mate! 

What be ya meaning 

by Anderson's Constitutions 

 being more of what you'd call 

"Guidelines" than actual Rules"?

 

-------------- MIND --------------  

 

 

So much of achieving Mastery

 is cultivating your mind to learn

 how to solve problems, 

make connections 

and provide solutions 

rather than relying upon sources outside yourself 

to do this for you. 

Mastery is only realized 

through personal development 

that no other person can do for you. 

 

 

-------------- MASTERY... -------------- 

 

You don't get The Master's Word; 

It Gets You!

 

 -------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
