The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A large part of the popularity and persuasiveness of psychology comes from its being a sublimated spiritualism: a secular, ostensibly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52228]]></link><description><![CDATA[A large part of the popularity and persuasiveness of psychology comes from its being a sublimated spiritualism: a secular, ostensibly scientific way of affirming the primacy of "spirit" over matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens.

Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the key persons 25-54 demographic, all three stations are tied in a statistical dead heat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30276]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the key persons 25-54 demographic, all three stations are tied in a statistical dead heat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30276</guid></item></channel></rss>
