You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can giveyourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, orsome time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough toaccept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, andfrom the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58187]]></link><description><![CDATA[People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One swallowe proveth not that summer is neare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58436]]></link><description><![CDATA[One swallowe proveth not that summer is neare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern recording has made it so that people can spend forever taking shortcuts and making everything uniform, but that strips ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modern recording has made it so that people can spend forever taking shortcuts and making everything uniform, but that strips music of what makes it exciting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illustrious Predecessor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illustrious Predecessor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This act calls for parental notification to one parent before a minor obtains an abortion, but New Hampshire law also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39781]]></link><description><![CDATA[This act calls for parental notification to one parent before a minor obtains an abortion, but New Hampshire law also contains exceptions and provides adequate safeguards to protect any minor facing emergent health risks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But she's got to lead us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37156]]></link><description><![CDATA[But she's got to lead us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've tested our products in Alaska, the Arizona desert and the Florida Keys and after 30 years they still look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33315]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've tested our products in Alaska, the Arizona desert and the Florida Keys and after 30 years they still look great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True friends isn't about who came first and who you've known the longest, it's about who came and never left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63033]]></link><description><![CDATA[True friends isn't about who came first and who you've known the longest, it's about who came and never left.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historical knowledge is indispensable for those who want to build a better world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Historical knowledge is indispensable for those who want to build a better world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today, communication itself is the problem.

Let Jones worship the sun or moon -- anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognized an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15860]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40988]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a big step because of the complexity.

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are frequently advised to read the Bible with our own personal needs in mind, and to look for answers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are frequently advised to read the Bible with our own personal needs in mind, and to look for answers to our own private questions. That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item></channel></rss>
