Religion and Religious Type Concepts Thread

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.

EDIT: Wikipedia gives the following definition:

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).

Okay, it confirms what I guessed. Something similar to that I've done was balls of creation. The coolest thing is, if they are high frequency, they're intelligent and can do much better work than us consciously can.
