So true brother tom.
I had the opprottunity to see a Ritual performed in 1994 as an instillation of the West Texas A&M Chaper and Andy Olenik as ELC encouraged me to stay and watch it after conclave. It was an amazing experience. To see it done right. He opened my eyes. To take the emotion of the experience and use it, to good and right purposes, not squandering it. Was simply amazing. So many chapters, dont use it to its fullest extent. Its 10 times more powerful when used properly, and I mean really properly, than wrongly. You can get a huge impact if you know how to work ritual. And in Masons intent. Seriously. I've seen the transformation in my own chapter. And it has translated into members living ritual, not just in exemplification. Isnt that what its all about?
