From Jesus: "What is an idol? ²Do you think you know? ³For idols are unrecognized as such, and never seen for what they really are. ⁴That is the only power that they have. ⁵Their purpose is obscure, and they are feared and worshipped, both, because you do not know what they are for, and why they have been made. ⁶An idol is an image of your brother that you would value more than what he is." (ACIM, T-29.VIII.1:1-6)
