The Real Meaning of

Egregore

The word "Egregore" derives from the Greek word

egrégoroi, meaning "watchers," which also transliterates
as "Grigori." The word appears in the Septuagint
translation of the Book of Lamentations, as well as the
Book of Jubilees and
the Book of Enoch.
Even being derived
from the word Grigori,
which acquired a
somewhat negative
aspectation over the
time, the general
concept of Egregore is
not evil. Gaetan PIN IT
Delaforge, in Gnosis Magazine in 1987, defines an
Egregore as a kind of group mind which is created when
people consciously come together for a common
purpose.

When a group of people pray and meditate collectively

towards an objective, an Egregore of protection and
blessing is sent forth, as a circle of Light that shields and
safeguards the purpose of the prayers.

Psychologically speaking, an Egregore is that

"atmosphere” or "personality" that develops among
groups independent of any of its members. It is the
feeling or impression you get when walking into a
neighborhood that “feels different” from the surrounding
area, or when visiting a club or association that has been
around for a long time.

In an occult or magical
context, an Egregore
is a general imprint
that encircles a group
entity. It is the
summary of the
physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual
PIN IT
energies generated by
two or more people
vibrating together towards the same goal; being a sub-
product of our personal and collective creative process
as co-creators of our reality.

An Egregore has developed to the point of attaining an

independent existence as an entity itself or as an
intentionally created entity, such as a servitor, that has
grown in power well beyond its original design. To a non-
religious practitioner of magic, an Egregore, and a god, or
goddess, would be interchangeable terms. To a religious
practitioner, an Egregore would be just below the level of
a god or goddess.

The vast majority of

human beings both
incarnated and
disincarnated are, in
one way or form,
connected to an
Egregore.

An Egregore (or astral PIN IT

Group mind) can be either negative or positive,
depending on the level of vibration and the frequency.
Most of the connections with negative Egregore come
from negative contracts made with physical or astral
entities in exchange for power, fame or material goods.
Also, some of these contracts or pacts can come from
emotional persecutions, which at some point was born of
the intent to keep the victim under its dominion to the
extent of various earthly and parallel lifetimes. Some of
these connections can also be activated through vices,
addictions, and unruled sexual activities. When a soul
gets committed to these types of obscure energies, there
is always the tendency to lose vital energy which can
result in the compromise of the monadic essence.

In general, the dominion of the negative Egregore is

reaffirmed through artificial implants, which are limiting
devices, which can be of a variety of forms, objectives
and done with diverse possibilities allowed by the
molding of astral matter. They are and functions more or
less as thought forms, as holographic projections that
may or may not solidify inside of the etheric bodies.

These devices are dangerous for the various levels of

consciousness of incarnated and disincarnated beings
because they are the means from which negative entities
from negative Egregore feed on their vital energies.
Progressively, these losses of energy can cause
disturbances in the physical, psychological, emotional,
mental and spiritual areas. It is sometimes hard to identify
these implants because, in many cases, they did not
originate in the current lifetime, but in previous ones
which can be spontaneously activated if some subjective
memory cells are activated during this incarnational
period.

The Egregore is maintained through the mental and
psychic energies of its creators and, as an autonomous
entity, it is formed through the persistence and intensities
of the current emotional and mental waves. Weak
emotions and feelings tend to create undefined Egregore,
with short life spans. The opposite is also true: big circles
are created by strong will, emotions, and determination of
purpose. There is a good Egregore that are positive and
that bring blessings, good energies and protection
against negative vibrations.

An Egregore can be
personal or collective.
The Egregore of the
Umbra[1] is comprised
of souls that were
negativated by the
bodies of desires; they
are adepts of vices,
drugs, and all sorts of
PIN IT
unnatural sets of
behaviors that are not characteristic of the spiritually
enhanced human being. They are the ones that vibrate
and maintain the negative collective Egregore. A person
psychically balanced and with positive thoughts creates a
very positive, prosperous and luminous personal
Egregore. The same can be said of the opposite behavior.
The only way that one can be rid of a negative Egregore
is to affiliate with a stronger positive one.

the shadow, where the light source is completely blocked

experiences a total eclipse.
