After we possess and inanimate object or that object becomes associated in our memory with someone, with a place or with another time, it serves as a talisman which begins a mystery for our spirit. It becomes like a word representing an abstract concept, but is itself actually a sculptured reminder of that concept. When it actually becomes or is cut off from the abstract then it is in the physical world, and is an idol. Similarly the pantheist believes in that which exists rather than the existence from which it comes.
