When you substitute the SEEN for the unseen and transfer loyalty, honor and regard. . .
when you fix your attention and admiration on the physical rather than the spiritual. . .
when you lower your own self-worth beneath such men as prophets, saints, clergy and confuse their function with an inherent superiority. . .
when mere perception of an elite transforms ordinary men into supernatural representatives. . .
YOU CROSS THE LINE INTO IDOLATRY.
Men are never numinous! Numinous:which is the tendency to invoke fear and trembling, a quality of fascinans, the tendency to attract, fascinate and compel. The numinous experience also has a personal quality, in that the person feels to be in communion with a wholly other. The numinous experience can lead in different cases to belief in deities, the supernatural, the sacred, the holy and/or the transcendent.
". . .you shall not bow down to them or serve them."
