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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as our social order regards the good of institutions rather than the good of men, so long will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53161]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as our social order regards the good of institutions rather than the good of men, so long will there be a vocation for the rebel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The master in the art of living makes little distinction between hiswork and his play, his labor and his leisure, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21089]]></link><description><![CDATA[The master in the art of living makes little distinction between hiswork and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, hisinformation and his recreation, his love and his religion.
