Those who are fascinated by the supposed superiority of the mystic soul might profitably compile a list of its characteristics and place them side by side with those of Christ.

There is, in fact, no provision for a "privileged class" in genuine Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have to kill a snake, kill it once and for all ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23702]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have to kill a snake, kill it once and for all]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music can save people, but it can't in the commercial way it's being used.

If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Johann is so unselfish that he sometimes hurts himself.

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[Only if we can restrain ourselves is good conversation possible.
