Well, if you look at a celebrity’s page and pics one hundred times a day, you will kneel to her fake and often satanic power, and she will feed off your worship.

“The secret, of course, lies in the Benedictine commitment to conversion. I cannot serve God and mammon, I cannot serve two masters, I cannot be both in the world and of it. I cannot have an authentic spiritual life without working at it. The spiritual life is not a matter of religious sleight of hand. It is not the doing of spiritual tricks that we are about. It is an attitude of mind we must develop. It is a way of walking lightly through things that threaten to bind us or bog us down - that is what a true spirituality implies. It is an asceticism without chains.
The shock comes when we finally realize that spirituality itself can be a temptation. ... The Rule, in other words, teaches us to cling to nothing, to hold everything - even the best of holy things - with a relaxed grasp.”
