For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25725]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What there really wasn't [information on] was 'what do people think'.

That phrase represents Paul's "ecclesia of God". It is a community of loving persons, who bear one another's burdens, who seek to build up one another in love, who "have the same thoughts in relation to one another that they have in their communion with Christ". It is all this because it is the living embodiment of Christ's own Spirit. This is a high and mystical doctrine, but a doctrine which has no meaning apart from loving fellowship in real life. A company of people who celebrate a solemn sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, and all the time are moved by selfish passions -- rivalry, competition, mutual contempt -- is not for Paul a Church or Divine Commonwealth at all, no matter how lofty their faith or how deep their mystical experience; for all these things may "puff up"; love alone "builds up". In the very act, therefore, of attaining its liberty to exist, the Divine Commonwealth has transcended the great divisions of men. In principle, it has transcended them all, and by seriously living out that which its association means, it is on the way to comprehending the whole race. Short of that its development can never stop. This is the revealing of the sons of God for which the whole creation is waiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In good yeares corne is hay, in ill yeares straw is corne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49540]]></link><description><![CDATA[In good yeares corne is hay, in ill yeares straw is corne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9917]]></link><description><![CDATA[I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them.
