Scientists of various disciplines are beginning to see the world that we inhabit as first and foremost consciousness. This is interesting in that ancient, Egyptian, Hermetic teaching explains that the creative source, called "The All" is mental and that creation is mental as well. The Judeo-Christian scriptures explain that the world was created by the Logos, or in other words, the consciousness of God and thereby, teaches that the world is a spoken thought construct and is essentially mental. Lao Tzu says that the Tao "is the source of all spirit and matter, expressing itself, it is the mother of all." By saying that it expresses itself it is likewise consciousness. Heraclitus and the Stoics of Greece also wrote and taught that the Logos, the conscious expression was the creator of all that is. While it could be that the original source was Hermetic teaching, it is equally as logical that the conscious creative source, revealed this truth through meditation, to a variety of willing mystics over the ages. The common theme is that the material world is a thought form. I will put links at the bottom for two videos by modern scientist that affirm the world is mental and basically consciousness.
If the world is truly a mental construct of divine consciousness, and I most definitely believe it is, then there is even more reason to believe that thought forms are an important phenomenon in creating the world we experience daily. Let me define a thought form. It is a thought that is expressed and shared by two or more people about anything. Interestingly, Jesus said the following. "wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I am in the midst." In another place he expressed that wherever two or three touch and agree to anything, it will be accomplished. These thought forms have come to be known as egregores. Egregores are distinct non physical entity that is created by a group. In other words it is a thought form.
These thought forms, egregores take on a reality and identity of their own and interact with the group to enhance and perpetuate the thought form. It is my belief that there are many various thought forms that are at work in our societal world today. For example, I believe that the great divide philosophically and culturally in this country today is in large part the result of egregores that have an identity and a life of their own. They are in conflict, and compete for the hearts and minds of the American populace. MAGA is a thought form, but so is the "cancel culture." There are egregores created by families, churches, bars, and clubs. These thought forms have a great impact on what people think and to a great degree how they act.
The bottom line is that mentalism is a powerful force, and it operates whether or not people are aware of thought forms/egregores or believe they exist. One does not have to believe in them to be influenced by them. This is all the more true if the universe as we know it is basically a conscious mental construct. These thought forms exist outside of and, apart from our brains. I believe that they actually have the capability of putting thoughts in our heads at times. Many times they are in the form of unconscious thoughts that may appear to originate within us, but upon careful examination one can discern that they did not originate in their minds.
So then, people aware of the existence of egregores can get together and mindfully, purposefully create thought forms that are much more beneficial to themselves and society around them. Imagine the power of an egregore that centers around the concept that the creative source of the universe is love. That it wishes to see the advancement and enlightenment of humanity. Or, centers around the idea that humanity is on an upward spiral of enlightenment, and that we have begun an age where love and concern for the other will be the driving force. That each and every inhabitant of the earth are indeed in the image of the creative source, and all have can participate in the divine nature. Remember that wherever two or three are gathered with a thoughtful purpose in mind they will indeed create an egregore that can attract others to join in.
As I promised at the beginning of this post, here are a couple of links to video's that speak to the fact that we are all essentially consciousness, and that the material reality is a mental construct.
