“Idolatry happens when you worship or praise anything excessively to the point of causing you to believe it reigns supreme. All things on this earth are temporal, even your very own desires. Be careful that you do not create idols to worship.”

“Everything around us belongs to God's jurisdiction and is part of the Universe. None of it is 'ours' and we leave it all behind in an instant when we exit this mortality. This is why we learn nothing of eternal value from making a self-indulgent fling out of our mortal sojourn. Rather, it is our sacred privilege and responsibility to treat all people and everything on this earth with love, gratitude, and respect and to seek God rather than mammon. This intent is what transforms mortality into an extraordinary spiritual education!”
― Eric Bjarnson Ph.D., Some Universals, Vol. 2: Intention and Attention
