10. SOBRE A IDOLATRIA (1)

            “To make an Idol is to materialize spiritual Mysteries. The Priests were Idolaters, who, coming after Moses and committing to writing those things which he by word of mouth had delivered unto Israel, replaced the true things signified, by their material symbols, and shed innocent blood on the pure altars of the Lord.

            “They also are Idolaters who understand the things of sense where the things of the Spirit are alone implied (...). Idolatry is materialism, the common and original sin of men, which replaces Spirit by Appearance, Substance by Illusion (...). It is that false Fruit which attracts the outer Senses, the bait of the Serpent in the beginning of the World.”
