Joseph’s Reviews > Selected Writings > Status Update

O Lord, through fear you are called Lord, and through love you are God, and through your governance of all you are Almighty. Your ways are true and just: for true Fear dispels all other fears, and true Love allies us with all other loves, and true Power holds other powers in check.

...You are idolatry, since you act in all things according to your self-will, and you will be a dead sound made by human hand. Your will is both human and animal since your behaviour is sometimes human, sometimes animal. But all your behaviour is based not on living but on dead creatures, since you reach out for what you desire, and you walk in the paths of whim and vanity.
