To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love of beauty is Taste.
