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[Love your friend with his faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love your friend with his faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not naïve enough to ask for pure men; we ask merely for men whose impurity does not conflict ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52601]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not naïve enough to ask for pure men; we ask merely for men whose impurity does not conflict with the obligations of their job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell-- Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave,--  Then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell-- Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave,--  Then some leap'd overboard with fearful yell,   As eager to anticipate their grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My thoughts ran a wool-gathering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59207]]></link><description><![CDATA[My thoughts ran a wool-gathering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24160]]></link><description><![CDATA[For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A really plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5779]]></link><description><![CDATA[A really plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of the Olympics, we decided the books had to have something to do with competition, teamwork and sportsmanship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of the Olympics, we decided the books had to have something to do with competition, teamwork and sportsmanship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that my greatest difficulty and the really most painful and difficult part of my work is draining and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30986]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find that my greatest difficulty and the really most painful and difficult part of my work is draining and ridding my mind of that burden of meanings which I've absorbed through the culture-things that seem to have something to do with art but don't have anything to do with art at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frankly, we're perplexed.
