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[The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53060]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62051]]></link><description><![CDATA[A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am sadly afraid that I must have done some wicked thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29532]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am sadly afraid that I must have done some wicked thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When life life does not find a singer to sing her heat, she produces a philosopher to speak her mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25012]]></link><description><![CDATA[When life life does not find a singer to sing her heat, she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28136]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou thy selfe canst doe it, attend no others helpe or hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49519]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou thy selfe canst doe it, attend no others helpe or hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing but what astonishes is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing but what astonishes is true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who gives himself with his alms feeds three, Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who gives himself with his alms feeds three, Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who will not economize will have to agonize. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13346]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who will not economize will have to agonize.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plants are the young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness; the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plants are the young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness; the trees are imperfect men, and seem to bemoan their imprisonment, rooted in the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The invisible thing called a Good Name is made up of the breath of numbers that speak well of you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43620]]></link><description><![CDATA[The invisible thing called a Good Name is made up of the breath of numbers that speak well of you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43620</guid></item></channel></rss>
