A Mason's Work

When we talk about the Worshipful master role as in a relational perspective at that sort

of relational level, it's easy to kind of look at this in a couple of different ways.

First we'll start with the sort of the exoteric, the obvious stuff, right?

The relationship given stuff.

As your Wershval master, when you're executing, your responsible for maintaining the culture

of your launch, right?

It is very much the kind of ways of working, how we interact with each other, what does

that look like, and how does it work?

It's not, you are not the chief entertainer, you're not up there tap dancing or any of that

kind of stuff.

You're there to really set the stage for how work gets done.

You're also not the primary workman, if you will.

You are there to oversee the work, not do it.

Now I know that sounds crazy because we have this servant leadership model and yes,

you definitely want to serve in a leadership function.

But in the context of what we're talking about in a large, it is important to understand

that when you try and drive engagement, you get folks involved and they're doing a lot

more work than even one person can do, right?

You're going to leverage the multiplicity of people and get more work done than you would

ever be able to do on your own.

Internally as an esoteric function, internal to your mind or your internal landscape, the

function we're talking about as Wershval master at this sort of relationship layer is really

referential integrity.

And when we talk about this, we're talking about making sure that your thoughts and behavior

and your emotional content are in alignment with what's actually happening, not just what

happened in the world, but that the choices you're making, that the things you're choosing

to do are honoring the reality of the current situation and with their honoring your respective

needs, the things that have to have to be present, your values, your morals, all of that

kind of stuff.

If you can understand this relational level of Wershval master, your behavior will never

kind of get for lack of a better way to say it out of whack.

You'll always be working with purpose on purpose, which is the design intent of sort of

real agency, right?

You want to be able to do the thing you're trying to do from a place that is honest, open,

capable, and agentic.

So when we're trying to figure out how to do this and if this is even happening, when

you sit as Wershval master, it's going to be important to essentially start breaking out

some tools, some of your master maize and tools, some of your interpenetism maize and tools,

whatever they might be, all of the operative tools of the craft.

So you can start to evaluate your behavior and your motives and your intentions all together

in relation to make sure that they are consistently achieving the kind of objectives you're

trying, you're shooting to achieve, right?

Your lifestyle objectives, your sort of overall arching goals of your lifetime, whatever

that might be, the temple, if you will, that we're all trying to kind of work together

to create.

All of that is present in this kind of understanding or this perspective on referential integrity.

So sitting with this is not easy, right?

So I'm going to trivialize how all this kind of plays out.

Sitting as Wershval master is probably the hardest job you're going to have internally

in meditation or reflection, also out in the logic experience because it is simultaneously

this kind of super intimate feeling and it's also completely alien and isolating.

So don't let that dissuade you as you go through this.

Sit in reflection and try and understand these relationships.

And as you surface new stuff, don't be afraid to come here and tell us what's going on

and we can talk about it together.

I'll see you at the next episode.
