Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  Christ did not enchant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  Christ did not enchant men; He demanded that they believe in Him: except on one occasion, the Transfiguration. For a brief while, Peter, James, and John were permitted to see Him in His glory. For that brief while they had no need of faith. The vision vanished, and the memory of it did not prevent them from all forsaking Him when He was arrested, or Peter from denying that he had ever known Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is more communication within smaller organizations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40711]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is more communication within smaller organizations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dick, Jane, and Spot primers have gone to that bookshelf in the sky.
