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[Even peace may be purchased at too high a price. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization are dependent upon a maximum of opportunity for accidents to happen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bulgaria is guilty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bulgaria is guilty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have only made this letter rather long because I have not had time to make it shorter. [Fr., Je ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47823]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have only made this letter rather long because I have not had time to make it shorter. [Fr., Je n'ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parceque je n'ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have not played fundamentally sound baseball...we really made our own bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31328]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have not played fundamentally sound baseball...we really made our own bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.
