-------------- HUMOR --------------
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
-------------- ENTITLEMENT --------------
All
things being equal,
if you are looking for Entitlement,
there is no
better way to produce MMs than the one day classes.
To the contrary,
if
you are looking for Masons,
you must insist that each Brother who
desires to Progress through the Degrees
has completed the Work
that each
Degree points him toward.
-------------- DIFFERENCES --------------
So, you want EXAMPLES of Un-Masonic vs Un-Fraternal Behavior?!?!?
How's this?
--------
- Doing anything intemperately, cowardly, foolishly, injudiciously, faithlessly, hopelessly and lovelessly is Un-Masonic.
- Inviting, encouraging, taunting and coercing your Brothers to do the same is Un-Fraternal.
--------
- Not managing your time well is Un-Masonic.
- Having your mismanaged time negatively impact (harm) your Brothers is Un-Fraternal.
--------
- Not being upright, moral or fair to yourself is Un-Masonic.
- Being biased, immoral or unfair specifically when dealing with others is Un-Fraternal.
--------
- Drinking a full keg, knowing full well that it's a vice, is Un-Masonic.
- Doing so alone is Un-Fraternal.
--------
- Arguing that there is a very thin line separating the two would be Masonic.
- Deciding what applies for yourself in this list would be Fraternal.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
Your Desires Paint Your World View
and Illuminate Your Ways.
Subdue Them Toward Your Very Best Interests.
-------------- MYTH --------------
that myth is the secret opening
through
which the inexhaustible energies
of the cosmos pour into
human cultural
manifestation.
Religions, philosophies, arts,
the social forms of
primitive
and historic man,
prime discoveries in science and technology,
the very dreams that blister sleep,
boil up from the basic,
magic ring
of myth."
-- Joseph Campbell,
The Hero With A Thousand Faces p. 1
-------------- WISDOM... --------------
Truth is Inventory; Wisdom is Prudent Application of Truth.
-------------- WOO WOO --------------
The
"woowoo" factor relates
to any talk of esoteric, metaphysical and
mystical matters
that boldly goes beyond
rational, sensible and
realistic dimensions
and into the realm of
unschooled fantasy and
wishful fabrication.
I encounter this factor in some people
when I make
effort to seriously talk
about Freemasonry and its practices.
-------------- END --------------
Be Well and Travel Light!
