Thoughtforms is a concept in energy working when one gathers and centralizes energy into a made entity, then tasks it for a purpose. (consciously or not)
Thoughtforms range from simple energy balls, constructs, and servitors to egregors and god forms.
Basically they are mental or astral beings, programmed for a given purpose. Bringing money out of the blue, influencing odds, improving a personality trait, ect.
It is also a know practice in Chaos Magick too, which is a "discipline" I'm into.
As for reference any research "thoughtforms" in a occult library would give you plenty of results.

Quote:A thoughtform is a manifestation of mental energy, also known as a 'tulpa' in Tibetan mysticism. The concept of thoughtforms is related to the Western philosophy and practice of magick.But a Tulpa is another thing. A sentient thoughtform, whereas others are programmed (to some extent, depending on the purpose).
