Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This year could be like 1974, when Democrats picked up 44 seats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33406]]></link><description><![CDATA[This year could be like 1974, when Democrats picked up 44 seats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my experience, problems most frequently arise from those who report for television, with little field experience in your area ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29010]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my experience, problems most frequently arise from those who report for television, with little field experience in your area but an insatiable appetite for a sound bite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The lines that most pleased Anderson as composer are in the second verse:] Show the rainbow of your promise/There will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32437]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The lines that most pleased Anderson as composer are in the second verse:] Show the rainbow of your promise/There will be a brighter day. ...
