The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot answer all the curious questions of the brain concerning prayer and law, not half of them, indeed, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6601]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot answer all the curious questions of the brain concerning prayer and law, not half of them, indeed, and I will not attempt to; but I will cast my anchor here in this revealing fact, that He, the Holiest of the Holy and the Wisest of the Wise, He prays. Therefore I am assured that this anchorage of Divine example will hold the vessel in the tossings of the wildest sea of doubt, and I shall be as safe as He was, if the vessel itself is engulfed in the waves of suffering and sorrow. His act is an argument. His prayer is an inspiration. His achievements are the everlasting and all-sufficient vindication of prayer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience teaches. [Lat., Experientia docet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience teaches. [Lat., Experientia docet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now we sit close about this taper here And call in question our necessities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now we sit close about this taper here And call in question our necessities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's worked very hard on all fronts in the state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36491]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's worked very hard on all fronts in the state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adventure is not outside a man; it is within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adventure is not outside a man; it is within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the revenues were disappointing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34051]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the revenues were disappointing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14334]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1699</guid></item></channel></rss>
