People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unexplained joy is always so keen that... it seems to hold enough to reconcile one to the inevitable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unexplained joy is always so keen that... it seems to hold enough to reconcile one to the inevitable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prejudice is a raft onto which the shipwrecked mind clambers and paddles to safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prejudice is a raft onto which the shipwrecked mind clambers and paddles to safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46201]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to give it up to Evanston.

But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item></channel></rss>
