The Lutheran can't be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things...

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/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throughout history females have picked providers. males have picked anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Throughout history females have picked providers. males have picked anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because we have a big guest, do we stop going to prayers? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because we have a big guest, do we stop going to prayers?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. •Anonymous    Many an opportunity is lost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. •Anonymous    Many an opportunity is lost because a man is out looking for four-leaf clovers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diligence is the mother of good luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diligence is the mother of good luck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alcohol is a very necessary article . . . .
