Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During that period we greatly improved the financial health of the company by selling low-return businesses, reducing debt, stabilizing AOL, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34290]]></link><description><![CDATA[During that period we greatly improved the financial health of the company by selling low-return businesses, reducing debt, stabilizing AOL, and made significant progress in resolving the company's legal challenges.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on education:   It is ironic that, although fundamentalists are implacably opposed to liberalism, their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on education:   It is ironic that, although fundamentalists are implacably opposed to liberalism, their extreme reaction shows the same weakness. They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So sweetly she bade me adieu, I thought that she bade me return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51547]]></link><description><![CDATA[So sweetly she bade me adieu, I thought that she bade me return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you can imagine is real. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything you can imagine is real.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[England!
