Best Quotes
00:20 - 00:31 • "If you imagine the working tools of a Freemason being individual perspectives about how to solve a problem, there are a ton of tools given to you that aren't presented in a catechism."
00:45 - 00:56 • "Now, this preparation that you go through is a preparation that you should feel comfortable with in your everyday life whenever you go to a lodge meeting."
01:15 - 01:30 • "When you take those perspectives off, you are walking into the lodge room emotionally open, intellectually open, without a preconceived notion about right and wrong..."
02:05 - 02:21 • "So let me open myself to all the potentials or all of the ideas without discernment about my preconceived notions of right and wrong, and then eliminate or enhance these options as they present themselves."
03:42 - 03:49 • "Being open to those other perspectives should allow you to essentially solve the problem in a more effective way."
04:12 - 04:24 • "As you get better at this, better at flexing through those perspectives, you'll find that all of these preconceived notions you have about the way things should work start to fade away..."
