This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the most part fraud in the end secures for its companions repentance and shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16646]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the most part fraud in the end secures for its companions repentance and shame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's nice to get everyone playing time, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39907]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's nice to get everyone playing time,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the heart grieves over what is has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19060]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the heart grieves over what is has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our imagination that transforms itself into reality, through our physical strength and endeavours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36417]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our imagination that transforms itself into reality, through our physical strength and endeavours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36417</guid></item></channel></rss>
