He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us.

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[They say, best men are moulded out of faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51397]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is at the end, when we thinke he is furthest off it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49271]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is at the end, when we thinke he is furthest off it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no end of craving.
