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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage isn't a word... it's a sentence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage isn't a word... it's a sentence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril.
