Some do not want to learn , but merely go through the motions . Here we find men who have no idea what it is to be Masons , their foundations weak , their Temples are flawed. And we have all seen some who should have never made it through the West gate , as hard as we try , some slide in .
I didn't know what Freemasonry was about till I talk to 2 gentlemen when I petitioned. I didnt know there was rituals and ceremonies. I just wanted to be a part of a great organization. Great at what? I didn't know. What did they do? Same answer...I didn't know. I just wanted to be a Mason. Now that I'm in and have been raised and doing some research and talking with you guys.....I have been living somewhat like a Mason without even knowing. I'm still a very rough ashlar, but I'm chiseling away little at a time.

I'll take a stab at it...

Numbers four and five on your list. Doing so will enable them to work towards mastery of numbers one through three.

Sorry Brother. All of them were offered as a response to the previous question, not offered as a list for the next question.

BTW - I left out:
6) Values Assessment
7) Establishment of Standards and Boundaries​

Please forgive me for my omissions.

F&S,

LOL! I crashed and burned! Ouch!

To me, all of the degrees are inherently inter connected. It may be a misunderstanding on my part, but I find myself reviewing the first degree work to better enable me to do the work required in the other degrees. My brain is wired a little different.

BTW- I look forward to some schooling in this department, which I'm sure is soon to follow. :eek:

They must Work on their Ashlars upon the Threshing-floor.

Question 5: Why the Threshing-floor?
The Threshing Floor is where the grain [truth] is winnowed from the chaff [noise].

(finally, one I feel I can answer!)
