Brother Blake,Answer is:
C. Good and Evil
I agree with you my Brother. One can easily associate the two conclusions and argue convincingly that the two could be synonmous in outcome. I've gone this route of thought many times and smile when I see the path leading back to "good and evil."nice post Brother Coach and I feel you are right many amendments have been made to the ritual to make it "fit" better in society which did hide some secrets deeper. I have always felt the checkered pavement represented more than just evil acts or evil people. Many things that we find in life that are deemed unimportant, if we engage them will almost always come to fruit evil in one way or another. One could argue Good and Evil is the same as Important and Unimportant if like you said the good masons has done his book work!
I don't think the checkered pavement is explained in the Texas Work. Is it explained in your state?Yeah, I KNOW what we are told in Ritual. I believe that's a surface explanation and feel that the explanation given doesn't do EA and others the good that the threshing-floor theme does. IMO

They did take it out when they shortened the lecture but put it in the monitor. Some lodges still give that long version though so you will hear it in some Texas lodges being explained.
We have the checkered tile in my lodge. On the outside edge of the pavement lay tiles of gray. I have often thought if there is any
symbolic significance to this flooring since black and white represent good and evil, right and wrong, important and unimportant, and etc. could there be a discussion of "gray" areas?
The Mosaic Pavement is emblematic of human life, checkered with good and evil.
