“The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.”  ― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings “How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole.”  ― C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul “There is strong shadow where there is much light.”  ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Götz von Berlichingen

Time Shadows by MHC “So don't be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don't know what work they are accomplishing within you?”  ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Time Shadows by MHC “Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow.  Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations.  The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room and trace the image of what stood outside a tiny window, in the bright sunlight.  The camera obscura.  Not the exact image, but everything reversed or upside down.”  ― Chuck Palahniuk

Time Shadows by MHC “Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that came down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures. And of these histories most fair still in the ears of the Elves is the tale of Beren and Lúthien”  ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

Time Shadows by MHC “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.”  ― C.G. Jung

Time Shadows by MHC “The shadow escapes from the body like an animal we had been sheltering.”  ― Gilles Deleuze, Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation

Time Shadows by MHC Time Shadows by MHC “Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life.”  ― C.G. Jung, The Red Book: A Reader's Edition Photo by Adam Pierce MHC objects #81 and #565, 60 minutes

“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”  ― Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Hourglass 81, 60 minutes

Time Shadows by MHC Hourglass Collection on MHC Virtual Museum Time is … Symbols of Time Hourglass Symbolism Masonry is a unique institution that has been a major part of community life in America for over 250 years. Masonry, or more properly Freemasonry, is America’s largest and oldest fraternity and one that continues to be an important part of many men’s personal lives and growth. Many years ago in England it was described as “a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.” It is a course of moral instruction using both allegories and symbols to teach its lessons. The legends and myths of the old stonecutters and Masons, many of them involved in building the great cathedrals of Europe, have been woven into an interesting and effective way to portray moral truths. In Masonry, the old tools and ways of the Craftsmen are used to help dramatically portray those moral truths. Two examples are the 24-inch gauge and the common gavel. Just as the ruler is used to measure distance, the modern Mason uses it as a reminder to manage one of his most precious resources, time. And, as the gavel is used to shape stones, so it is also the symbol of the necessity for all of us to work to perfect ourselves. One modern definition is: “Freemasonry is an organized society of men, symbolically applying the principles of Operative Masonry and architecture to the science and art of character building.” In other words, Masonry uses ageless methods and lessons to make each of us a better person.
