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[They had always told me that I wrote like a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29701]]></link><description><![CDATA[They had always told me that I wrote like a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Positive anything is better than negative nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Positive anything is better than negative nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we’re going to have a good day today, but we should have a good day every time we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52910]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we’re going to have a good day today, but we should have a good day every time we come to the racetrack. That’s what we get paid for. I wasn’t surprised that Casey won the pole. I think if Sterling had gone out earlier he would have had a real shot to win the pole.Our teams have had some struggles this year. Some of the pain has been self-inflicted, and some of the things we just couldn’t help. It’d be great to win here today. In a way, it’s just another race, but it’s a big deal to win Daytona and a big deal to win Indy. Really, it’s a big deal to win anywhere.
