| BkVII:12.III.10 | Why, as we approach the end of this work, do we now take up this topic of idols and situations in which you thought you were not yourself? Because I love you. And I can't allow you to take unnecessary risks. I remind you that the ideal self is the source of all idolatry. Ideas of an ideal self arise from madness, an estrangement from truth. They are an attack on being, a denial of holiness. |
