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[Las Vegas is one of the most dynamic tourist and convention destinations in the United States, providing a high profile ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Las Vegas is one of the most dynamic tourist and convention destinations in the United States, providing a high profile presence for the group in North America that will complement Shangri-La's developments in Miami, Chicago and Vancouver.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive.
