A Mason's Work

[01:00] "When we talk about the guide, we're talking for ourselves about extending that care and concern to note well when we are stumbling and struggling and alter our path." 
[01:30] "The guide is not an education role... The guide's responsibility is essentially to notice the situation, evaluate the path you're taking... and know whether or not those are helping you achieve your objectives." 
[03:13] "The guide really does not offer a meaningful judgment. That function just evaluates the situation. It is like an awareness function." 
[04:13] "Conduct a little bit of like a risk analysis, like, 'Hey, am I doing something right now that represents a high risk behavior? And will that undermine my objectives long-term?'" 

• Care and Concern: Extending the same empathy we show a Brother in the Lodge to our own mental and emotional struggles.
• Awareness without Judgment: The Guide acts as an observer that evaluates a situation objectively rather than providing moral judgment.
• Evaluating Alternatives: Observing if a current path aligns with your long-term objectives and adjusting the "course of travel" to match.
• Internal Risk Analysis: Recognizing high-risk behaviors and understanding their potential to undermine your personal growth.
