Random Building Thoughts - 2021-01-28

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

 
For Further Light:
Why the Distinction?


-------------- CHOOSE LOVE ALWAYS! --------------
 

"It once was possible for the ancients to say, 'We are the chosen of God!' and to save all love and respect for themselves, projecting their malice 'out there.' 
 
"We have now to learn somehow to quench our hate and disdain through the operation of an actual love . . . and with that fructify, simultaneously, both our neighbor's life and our own."
-- Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That


 
 
-------------- CEMENT --------------
 
 
 -------------- RIGHT STUFF --------------
 

"Brethren, I really thought this was cool!"
-- Bro. Chris Barnes, Jan. 27, 2012
 
-------------- TEMPLE TIME -------------- 
 
 
-------------- A MAN'S FOREST --------------
 
 
-------------- POINT! --------------
 
 
-------------- WHY! --------------
 

I could not stop comparing what is going on in this culture 
with what I see occurring within Freemasonic circles... 
 
One Day Classes... 
Masters in 3 months... 
Worshipful Masters in three years... 
 
 A title driven culture, 
but in truth, 
 <sigh> yup... couldn't help myself...

For Further Light:
 
-------------- DEGREE TEAM --------------
 
 
(And WHAT on God's green earth were they thinking?!?!?!)
 
 -------------- BECOME! -------------- 

 
 
-------------- START! -------------- 
 
 
 
-------------- AFTERLIFE --------------
 
 
 -------------- EXPLOITS -------------- 


 A Brother Asks: Are Brothers Vulnerable to Exploitation by Other Brothers?

My Response: You bet they are! ...
 
 For Further Light:
Exploitation
 
 -------------- END --------------

-------------- TRUTH! --------------
 

"For anyone who is curious about Masonry.
This is what we stand for.
Anything else is a lie."

-- Bro. Charles Goodnight, Jan. 27, 2017
 
 -------------- DO! --------------
 

(You tell 'em Bro. Joe!!!!!)
 
-------------- REFLECTIONS --------------
 

Organizations are direct reflections of their Membership! No Organization gets Better unless those who make it up get Better First! Before you make any effort to Better any Organization to which you belong, first ask yourself what Work you have done to Better yourself. If you have nothing to show for your own Betterment efforts, then you are wasting your time trying to Better your Organization. 
 
Once again: Organizations are direct reflections of their Membership! The Organizational Reflection is YOU! Improve yourself and what you belong to Improves! 
 
For Further Light:
Reflections
 

 
-------------- A TEACHER'S CHARACTER --------------
 

-------------- MATURE! --------------
 
 
If you insist that no one is Perfect, 
and it is clearly Understood by me 
that this means that "no one's Mature", 
then God help us!
 
For Further Light:
Perfecting Quest

 
-------------- WORK ON SOLUTIONS! --------------
 
 
-------------- FOR THE FUTURE! --------------
 
 
Yep. I'm still working that angle to this day!
 
 -------------- I AM -------------- 

 
I: What is the Latin equivalent for the following words:
 now, by now, already / presently, immediately, 
soon, moreover, henceforth, indeed, just, further?

R: The Latin equivalent is "iam".

I: And the English equivalent for the Latin "am"?

R: Yikes!

For Further Light:
I AM
 
-------------- NOT THE SAME --------------
 
 
Does he mean like having a skill-based title without actual skills?
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------
 
 
For Further Light:
LIGHT!
 
-------------- END -------------- 
  
Be Well and Travel Light!

-------------- ALTARING EGOS --------------
 
 
-------------- HUMAN! -------------- 
 

-------------- UNEARNED -------------- 
 
 
-------------- GUIDES --------------
 
 
-------------- YOUR PATH -------------- 
 
  
“If you can see your path

you know it's not your path. 
Your own path you make 
with every step you take. 
That's why it's your path.”
― Joseph Campbell
