For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Tortoise and the EagleA tortoise, lazily basking in the sun, complained to the sea-birds of her hard fate, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1531]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Tortoise and the EagleA tortoise, lazily basking in the sun, complained to the sea-birds of her hard fate, that no one would teach her to fly.

I will give you, she said, all the riches of the Red Sea. I will teach you to fly then, said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death: I have deserved my present fate; for what had I to do with wings and clouds, who can with difficulty move about on the earth?' If men had all they wished, they would be often ruined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When rogues like these (a sparrow cries) To honours and employments rise,  I court no favor, ask no place, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10194]]></link><description><![CDATA[When rogues like these (a sparrow cries) To honours and employments rise,  I court no favor, ask no place,   For such preferment is disgrace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It (first game) could have been different, you never know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41933]]></link><description><![CDATA[It (first game) could have been different, you never know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boy, I feel bad, ...
