There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had there been no difficulties and no thorns in the way, then man would have been in his primitive state and no progress made in civilization and mental culture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59079]]></link><description><![CDATA[The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good questions outrank easy answers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good questions outrank easy answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity never made a good bargain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity never made a good bargain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire.
