Maxim Revision

Relationships

The maxims on relationships consider the subject from an all embracing understanding that mankind is a family; related offspring of God who is our Father, the source, the wellspring of our being, the Lord of all supply. The maxims begin by informing us that poise is a vital need if we are to realise and exercise our responsibilities as brothers and sisters, not only of one another but of God's divine son Jesus Christ who died for us.

The opening maxim introduces us to the supreme example of the poise of the Holy Spirit. To fully understand this maxim it is essential to know that the word poise is used as the cgs or SI (scientific) unit of viscosity of a fluid. It is also interesting to know that to be poised is to be self-possessed; dignified; composed, balanced and prepared for action.
