nn Mirek’s conceptions are real objects not only forming our individual essence, but being our complete essence. Looking at these fabulous idols we have the impression that they are not common concepts on which we construct, by means of anticipation, our perception. They are not either tools or instruments we use to transform the reality. Idols are not technology, artifacts or utensils. They are something else: they are real, solid bodies subjected to physical laws; they do not have only shape or form, but also weight and mass. Idols are not illusions, ideal grounds on which we build the world; they are substances, and that means they do not need anything else to persist. They are self-evident, indivisible, impenetrable bodies not related to some other thing. They are not properties we can find in such and such a thing, but the last elements in which we can divide the matter. Still more, they exist with independence of our perception, not needing us to be. Rather that they belong to us, it seems, on the contrary, that we belong to them.
