A Mason's Work

Like a lot of free masonry, which kind of takes symbolism from pretty much anywhere

I can find it and sort of slaps it into the ritual where it makes sense.

The three nox and the origin of the three nox is relatively easy to find.

It's biblical in nature.

And it speaks to a really interesting take on how we go through the process of integration

and acquisition and things like that.

So I'm going to go over this, over the course of this week, there will be just like the

others, kind of the practical behavioral component, the reflective component and the systemic

component.

And with the three nox, it's really convenient because they actually lay out in that manner.

So we'll start today with the behavioral side.

The way that the nox work, at least in description, is as follows.

Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall be given to you, nox and it shall be made open

unto you.

And today we're going to talk about that behavioral seek and ye shall find.

The component there is very in the seek and find kind of process.

It implies that there is a relationship between seeking and finding.

And I know that sounds maybe a little strange to think about.

When oftentimes when we are trying to figure stuff out or try and figure out what to do next,

there is a process by which that is refined.

It is a kind of a back and forth understanding that for example, if you have just gotten

the medical diagnosis of some sort, it is very common to then go and seek all sorts

of research, all sorts of knowledge about that.

And then take that and refine that into what, you know, answering the questions you really

kind of needed to know the answer to.

And the large questions you have in the beginning kind of fall by the wayside when they are

not appropriate or not the right kind of solution to the problem.

And you get to a level of knowledge and comfort and understanding that makes a lot of sense.

That kind of process where you are taking this searching activity and turning it into a

discovery process and then a refinement and iteration process is really kind of an

important part of this seeking each of fine process.

The other elements of this that kind of move into even more kind of a deeper dive will

get to in subsequent episodes.

But this seeking each of fine is also kind of a mindset that you can take on as well in

that you are in a seeking mode, you are perpetually identifying those opportunities for those

acquisition, right?

So it can be described as, you know, almost I want to say opportunists, but a perspective

of openness as well.

Seeking does not necessarily require the kind of awkward attention that you might have

when you are truly desirous of a thing.

There is a big difference between that seeking and possession as well.

The seeking process that you go through that learning or discovery process you go through

is rewarded by that refined solution and then the process starts over and over and over

again.

So seeking fine, seeking fine, seeking fine.

And that is kind of the beginning of the three-knock process.
