-------------- HUMOR --------------
For Further Light:
Acid Test
HINT: When you can't use
what you think is the Real Thing
to...
1) travel to foreign lands,
2) work,
3) earn,
4) contribute, and
5) support yourself, your family, and others
and do so MASTERFULLY
& all by your self,
you still got only a substitute.

-------------- THE LOST WORD --------------
-------------- OBJECT --------------
Find the Masonic Post.
It's Easy
Once You Know for What to Look.
-------------- CHARACTER --------------
-------------- THE TRENCH --------------
When
you choose to be fooled
by historical misrepresentations put forth by
zealous members,
you'll chase imaginary rabbits to complete exhaustion
and create a circular trench through your efforts.
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------
If
you have an Apprentice's Grasp,
you'll Grasp things Superficially.
If
you look with an Apprentice's eyes,
you'll look for Literal Signs
and
miss the Figurative Ones.
If you hear words with an Apprentice's ears,
you'll not hear what's Behind Them
and miss their Intended Message.
-------------- ODCs -------------- 
What if I Told You
Those Eggs Ain't Gonna be Egg Layers
in Six Hours
So many think
So many think
slapping a title on an egg
changes the egg.
-------------- CHARGES --------------
The
Old Operative Charges were quite implicit about what was required to
bring a male from not knowing to knowing. They stated that:
1. alsoe that noe Master nor ffellow shall take noe Prentice for lesse than Seaven yeares…
2. …that no Master nor Fellow shall take any Apprentice but for the full term of seven Years;…
3. Also that no Master or Fellow take a prentice but for the term of seven years …
4. also ye noe Master or Fellow take any apprentice under ye terme of Seven years…
5. …that no Mr or Fellowe take no prentice but for thee terme of VII yeres…
6. And no Master nor Fellow shall take no Apprintice for less then seaven years…
Yet,
there are some within the current Order who want you to believe they
could do Justice to a man by making him a Brother, then Fellow and then
hang a "Master's" title upon him within 3 months and some within hours.

-------------- MYTH --------------

in which the mystic
swims with delight.”

Psychology of the Future
-------------- RUFFIAN --------------
-------------- THE GOAL --------------
The
goal of the Lodge
is to provide authentic portrayals for candidates
in
hope that candidates will commit to
and move toward
betterment.
The goal
of candidates vary.
-------------- PIECES --------------
As
a man and Mason, I seek the Light of God.
I Trust that God shall never
mislead me
as God is my One and my only true Conductor,
even though I
may at times be Mistaken
in what I Believe that God shows me,
even
through others.
I do not Believe any well-intentioned Freemason,
or
Mason for that matter,
makes any effort to mislead his Brothers in any
way.
I do Believe that the many forms
that are shared through
Speculation
are often misunderstood
by those who carry a tremendous
amount of baggage
in the form of preconceived notions
as to what words
mean within context.
I have been attacked by such individuals
who
cannot take or understand
what is offered within context
because they
are chained
to specific ideas, notions and definitions
that they have
accepted without question.
I avoid such people like the plague.
-------------- BORN & RAISED! --------------
for all mankind.
I
can only do this by making my experience better for me.
It is only
through this personal Work
that I shall have any important influence
upon the world generally
and mankind specifically.
I've encountered many
others
who aspire to do the same
and have in like-kind fashion
Worked
upon themselves with this in mind.
I call them "Brothers" regardless of
their affiliation.
My Blood knows no affiliation other than Storge.
