Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love the name of honor, more than I fear death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63883]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63883</guid></item></channel></rss>
