They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power.

"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immortality - a fate worse than death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Immortality - a fate worse than death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Shepherd's Boy and the WolfA sheperd boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1578]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Shepherd's Boy and the WolfA sheperd boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, Wolf! Wolf! and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desperate maladies require desperate remedies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Desperate maladies require desperate remedies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an awesome piece of equipment, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33660]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is an awesome piece of equipment,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53164]]></link><description><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sow a thought and reap an act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sow a thought and reap an act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19370]]></link><description><![CDATA[History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen long enough and the person will generally come up with an adequate solution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen long enough and the person will generally come up with an adequate solution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66200]]></link><description><![CDATA[How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253   Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why He should grant this, or that; He knows best what is good for us.
