Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of people seemingly de-humanizing and lacking empathy for the “other” in this current war in Iran. It’s become like a super nasty hive-mind. I came across a video on Egregores & Negative Thought-forms, and I wonder if it will help people break the spell…
“When this heavy egregore takes over, it does something dangerous: it flips a switch in your mind called moral disengagement. It tricks you into thinking that ‘the others’ aren’t even human anymore. It turns your shared pain into a hive-mind of ‘us versus them’ that’s so strong, it can even make you celebrate the unthinkable—like the death of children—because you’ve been taught to see them as ‘the enemy’ rather than as people.”
The hive-mind egregore
An egregore can be understood as a collective thought-form or a group mind.
Think of it as a non-physical entity that is created and sustained by the focused thoughts, emotions, and collective will of a group of people who share a common purpose, identity, or belief. The group can be anything:
A religion or spiritual order
A corporation
A political party or nation
A sports team and its fanbase
A family unit
An online community (like a subreddit / group)
Once formed, an egregore takes on a life of its own. It begins to influence the thoughts and behaviors of its members, often in ways that reinforce its own existence. It acts as an autonomous “group spirit” that both reflects and shapes the collective identity.
Negative thoughts are not just “in your head” in this framework; they are energetic building materials. When negative thoughts are shared among a group, they create a powerful, often toxic, egregore.
Shared Fear and Paranoia
ie. A political faction that constantly focuses on an enemy “destroying the country,” etc.
The egregore of fear acts as a feedback loop. It makes the threat feel more real and immediate than it actually is, compelling the group to take increasingly drastic actions to “protect” itself, which only feeds the egregore more energy.
(I can’t help but think of: Problem > Reaction > Solution)
Collective Resentment
Egregores can be built on a shared sense of victimhood. A group that defines itself by what it is against, by past injustices, or by a shared enemy creates a robust but destructive entity.
i.e. Online communities centered on hating a particular public figure.
This egregore feeds on anger and resentment. It thrives on conflict, and it will subtly work to accentuate the negative feelings. It discourages healing or resolution because that would mean the group’s reason for being would dissolve.
Unprocessed Grief and Shared Trauma
When a group experiences a collective trauma and the grief is not processed in a healthy way, it can form a hive-mind of stuck, heavy sadness, or shared trauma – a heavy egregore that feeds on its own sadness.
i.e. A town after a natural disaster that never rebuilds its community spirit.
(or CONvid!?!)
This egregore functions like a psychic gravity well. It pulls members back into the original pain, makes it difficult to move forward, and can even attract more tragedy. It creates a sense of “this is just who we are now.”
Self-Righteousness and Dogmatic Rigidity
The belief that “we alone possess the absolute truth” is a powerful builder of egregores. This thought-form is fuelled by contempt for outsiders and a rigid enforcement of orthodoxy. (01)
i.e. Cults, extremist political sects, or even hyper-orthodox religious communities that punish doubt and question any form of dissent.
This egregore acts as a psychic filter. It punishes independent thought among its members (often through feelings of shame and ostracization) and creates a strong “us vs. them” polarity. Its primary negative thought is “anyone who is not us is dangerous/wrong/evil.”
Wilful Ignorance and Collective Delusion
When a group collectively agrees to deny an obvious reality, they create an egregore of illusion. This requires a constant stream of mental energy to suppress the cognitive dissonance.
i.e. Any group that subscribes to a theory that requires denying all contradictory evidence.
This egregore acts as a defense mechanism. It actively works to discredit dissenting voices (both internal and external) as “enemies” or “sheeple.” The negative thought here is the constant, anxious effort of maintaining the lie, which is energetically exhausting and ultimately destructive.
Not all egregores are negative
Positive: Shared purpose, love, inspiration, mutual support, a noble goal.
Negative: Shared fear, hatred, resentment, trauma, or a rigid ideology.
Positive: Empowers individuals, encourages growth, and often allows members to leave peacefully.
Negative: Enslaves members, discourages individuality, and often uses fear and shame to prevent people from leaving.
Positive: Acts as a reservoir of inspiration and collective strength.
Negative: Acts as a parasitic feedback loop, draining members of energy to sustain itself.
Under the Influence of a Negative Egregore?
- You feel a constant, low-grade anxiety or paranoia when thinking about the group’s purpose or “enemies.”
- Your thinking becomes increasingly binary: “With us or against us.”
- Dissent, doubt, or nuance is punished with shame, ostracization, or anger.
- You feel an energetic drain after engaging with the group.
- The group’s identity is built more around what it opposes than what it supports.
A negative egregore is a collective habit of thought and emotion that has become autonomous, turning a group of individuals into an echo chamber for its own destructive purpose.
In the context of an egregore, you can describe this behaviour as:
Moral Disengagement: This is the psychological “off switch” that allows people to ignore their own moral standards. In a cult, the egregore provides a moral justification – a false belief that “the end justifies the means” – which makes horrific acts feel like a “moral good” or a “purifying force”. (02)
Dehumanization (The “Othering”): The group has stopped seeing “the other” as human and instead views them as “objects,” “monsters,” or “vermin”. When an egregore is built on this, it feeds on the idea that the “other” is a threat to the group’s existence, making the death of their children feel like a “victory” rather than a tragedy. (03)
Shared Echo Chamber (Group Polarization): Because the group is isolated, they only hear their own extremist views, which become more brutal over time. The egregore acts like an amplifier, where the “shared anger” you mentioned drowns out any individual’s natural sense of pity or horror. (04)
The “Chosen” vs. The “Damned”: Many dangerous cults believe they are the only ones “worthy of existence”. In their eyes, those outside the group are already “evil” or “dead,” so celebrating their physical death is seen as a confirmation of their own “special” status. (05)

Discover how to identify mental influences that drain your energy and hijack your thoughts. Learn practical techniques to protect your mental space.
Key Points:
The Nature of Thought Forms
Thought forms are real, non-physical entities that exist on different frequencies. They influence you through your mind, often masquerading as your own thoughts.
Their Goal: They are “selfish” and exist to survive. To do so, they try to lower your emotional frequency so they can extract your energy.
Their Strategy: Their number one tactic is to convince you that they are you. They hide in your thoughts, making you believe negative patterns are your own identity so you won’t resist them.
How to Identify an Egregore/Thought Form
Your emotions are a warning system. If you feel low-frequency emotions (fear, guilt, anger, grief, apathy), it is a sign that a thought form has attached to you or is trying to hijack your energy.
Thoughts are merely “invitations” or “offerings.” You do not have to accept every thought that appears. You are the chooser, not the thought itself.
Tools & Strategies for Removal
The Bouncer of the Mind (Visualization)
Imagine a bouncer, angel, or guard standing at the gateway of your mind.
Train this figure to only allow thoughts that benefit you and to block out “thieves” (negative thought forms) trying to steal your energy.
This visualization creates a protective thought form that alerts you when negativity tries to enter.
One analogy he used was the Dementor in Harry Potter. Dementors are beings that “extract your energy” and “give you the kiss of death” drawing a direct parallel to how negative thought forms (egregores) drain a person’s energy and lower their frequency.
In Harry Potter, they create a “guardian” called a Patronus, by focusing on a powerful, happy memory, that acts as a shield. Dementors feed on hope and happiness, but the guardian contains no despair for them to consume, so they are repelled. (07)
Energy System Reset (Physical Tapping)
When you feel hijacked, your energy meridians may be “offline” or in reversal.
Action: Tap the side of your hand (the karate chop point) with the opposite hand. Do this about 20 times while stating an intention, such as:
- “I am testing correctly.”
- “My energy is flowing correctly.”
This helps clear the energetic blockage so thought forms cannot cling to you.
The Tender Spot (Emotional Release)
If you are stuck in a heavy emotion, rub the centre of your chest (the “tender spot”) in a clockwise direction. While rubbing, say: “Even though I am feeling [emotion], I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.”
Follow this with the hand tapping to seal the release.
Spontaneous Action (The Boggart Method)
Negative thought forms rely on linear thinking and predictable patterns.
Action: Do something completely random and spontaneous (e.g., weird dancing, singing, splashing water on your face, reading a book upside down).
This confuses the thought form, breaks its grip, and raises your frequency out of its range.
i.e. In Harry Potter, Boggarts are defeated by laughter, transforming them into something funny neutralizes them. They used the spell “Riddikulus” which involved visualizing your worst fear in an amusing form before casting, saying “Riddikulus”, then laughing. It’s a good analogy to turn something terrifying into something laughable. (08)
The spell’s name comes from the Latin word ridiculus, meaning “laughable” or “absurd” – the root of the English word “ridiculous”.

Cold Exposure
Ice baths or cold showers are highly effective at “resetting” your energy field.
The intense cold creates a charge that makes it difficult for thought forms or pendulums to remain attached to you.
Key Mindset Shifts
- They are not “evil,” just selfish: Do not get angry at them; anger keeps your frequency low. Simply recognize they are surviving and choose to stop feeding them your energy.
- You are the creator: You are more powerful than any thought form. When you realize a thought is not “you,” you immediately reclaim your power.
- Replacement: After removing a negative thought form, intentionally choose a beneficial thought to fill the space (e.g., replace “I am not enough” with “I am worthy”).
