All idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you, and to maintain allegiance to the dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace. God dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.VII.6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The ego will always direct us to look for some situation or relationship with images in the world to find our happiness, our safety, our value or completion. This is completely in keeping with the ego’s motto, “Seek and do not find.”
Our completion can only be found in our Creator. Our Creator remains eternally within us, at one with us. It is only within where we find our completion, our value, our safety and our happiness. It is there because it was given us in our creation. It is because God dwells within that our Self, our wholeness, our happiness and peace is certain to be found within.
