This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holy Saturday Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974  The progress of these terrors is plainly shown us in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holy Saturday Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974  The progress of these terrors is plainly shown us in our Lord's agony in the garden, when the reality of this eternal death so broke in upon Him, so awakened and stirred itself in Him, as to force great drops of blood to sweat from His body... His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blues, spirituals, and folk tales recounted from mouth to mouth . . . all these formed the channels through which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blues, spirituals, and folk tales recounted from mouth to mouth . . . all these formed the channels through which the racial wisdom flowed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[GOP strategists hope the revelation of Kerry's wealth might debunk his status as a, quote, man of the people, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17384]]></link><description><![CDATA[GOP strategists hope the revelation of Kerry's wealth might debunk his status as a, quote, man of the people, and reveal him to be a bit of a fat cat.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life.
