For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9168]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Criticism is easy, and art is difficult. [Fr., La critique est aisee, et l'art est difficile.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Criticism is easy, and art is difficult. [Fr., La critique est aisee, et l'art est difficile.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a 12-step program.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is pursuing it (the anti-Israel line) because he doesn't really have any choice internally.
