The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is the seedling of fear ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indecision is the seedling of fear]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw my first Friesian back in 1980 when I was a judge at the California State Fair.

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some 24-inch diameter sterilizers in the field right now, and that would probably be the one size sterilizer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41826]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have some 24-inch diameter sterilizers in the field right now, and that would probably be the one size sterilizer that we'd build.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, I cannot approve anything the council has rejected, but I can reject anything the council has approved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, I cannot approve anything the council has rejected, but I can reject anything the council has approved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A baby is born with a need to be loved and never outgrows it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3604]]></link><description><![CDATA[A baby is born with a need to be loved and never outgrows it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please. -As You ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55652]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please. -As You Like It.

That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was genuine fear - fear born of experience of a man that was mean and ugly, not crazy, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36920]]></link><description><![CDATA[This was genuine fear - fear born of experience of a man that was mean and ugly, not crazy, but mean and ugly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night of the Wolf, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night of the Wolf,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're not going to be a superman every time you go out onto the field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28448]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're not going to be a superman every time you go out onto the field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing lowers the level on conversation more than raising the voice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing lowers the level on conversation more than raising the voice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing hurts more than having to pay an income tax, unless it is not having to pay an income tax. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing hurts more than having to pay an income tax, unless it is not having to pay an income tax.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15787</guid></item></channel></rss>
