This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the book of life's questions, the answers are not in the back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21656]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the book of life's questions, the answers are not in the back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, we have a hot venison pasty to dinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, we have a hot venison pasty to dinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, the mulberry-tree is of trees the queen! Bare long after the rest are green;  But as the time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43375]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, the mulberry-tree is of trees the queen! Bare long after the rest are green;  But as the time steals onwards, while none perceives   Slowly she clothes herself with leaves--    Hides her fruit under them, hard to find.     . . . .      But by and by, when the flowers grow few       And the fruits are dwindling and small to view--        Out she comes in her matron grace         With the purple myriads of her race;          Full of plenty from root to crown,           Showering plenty her feet adown.            While far over head hang gorgeously             Large luscious berries of sanguine dye,              For the best grows highest, always highest,               Upon the mulberry-tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15152]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel certain that I'm going mad again.
