Fragment 16

I fear in my last "Fragment" I may have left some misconceptions about Egregores. In the way I described the nature spirit or sprite: the Mushroom Hunter. So I shall try to remedy these misconceptions, and add some more information about Egregores. I chose the example of the Mushroom Hunter, because it was simple and straight forward, but I fear the simpleness and straightforwardness may to misconceptions.The misconception I want to dispel is that Egregores function like a logical flow chart. Egregores are not held together by logical connections like Hegel's dialectic, instead they are held together by emotion and desire. The desire to achieve the Egregores aim or goal. As we observe in ourselves there are always other voices (Egregores) in our head that are trying to distract us from the goal. Like I said every Egregore wants to be the homunculus, or at least to have a say on on whatever is happening in an individual agents thinking-activity. This leads us to another difference between Egregores and logical dialectic, in that the same Image can trigger different sigils. Remember sigils are a way to store energy if charged. The color of off-white may trigger other activities besides looking for mushrooms. Let us look at the example of the color "red". When navigating the city streets , the color red means stop. When no a political map it is a counter for political power. On the dress of an attractive woman it is a trigger for sexuality. The same image is a trigger for different sigils; the desire determines the sigil. This is why when walking around without a strong aim the mind is continually wandering. It is the goal that holds an Egregore together. Egregores live off the energy of human emotions;this point cannot stated strongly enough. The last misconception that needs correction is that all Egregores are beneficial to the human agent they possess.This is false , Egregores have their own agenda sometimes there agenda coincides with the aims of the human agent they are possessing. The Islamic jihadi suicide bomber is an example of an Egregore fulfilling its agenda and not benefiting the agent in the least. Over the years this power of Egregores has been described as "sleep", or "hypnosis". These are useful terms, but they miss the point. When an Egregore takes control of an agent and turns him into a suicide bomber, he is a thrall. I prefer the term "enthrallment" to "sleep" "hypnosis" , and thralls to sleepwalkers. The Jihadi suicide bomber is nothing but the thrall of the Egregore Allah. Allah's desire is not the benefit of his thralls, but for Islam to dominate the world. This is why it is so important to be careful what Egregores you let enter your mind. Don't be a thrall. We shall now look deeper into the nature of Egregores. The reader is probably wondering do Egregores exist on the physical plane? Do they have a physical body? The answer is yes.The buildings, writings,and art they have inspired there thralls to build and maintain are the physical body of the Egregore, as well as the bodies of its thralls. The writings are the external memory of an Egregore. The art and architecture are meant to keep the thralls enthralled, so they shall continue to feed the Egregore and to accomplish the goals of the Egregore. As long as there are ruins and writings , an Egregore thought to be dead can suddenly come back to life.If humans can recapture the feeling and purpose of an Egregore. The above discussion holds many secrets to magic and occultism. For this "Fragment" I shall only discuss one of the secrets: Necromancy. There is a difference between Necromancers and Mediums. By Mediums I am not talking about the frauds that are on T.V. Both Mediums and Necromancers can contact Egregores, but the Mediums give up conscious control, in other words they become possessed. The reader may be asking the question why Mediums do not become permanent thralls to an Egregore? As we know some do, the main protection of a Mediums is the Mediums total incompetence to achieve anything on the material and spiritual planes, in simpler terms Mediums are usually useless in accomplishing the Egregores goals. Back to Necromancy. The Necromancer is a person that can bring back to life the fossilized remains of an Egregore to learn its secrets. Writings are nothing but fossilized thoughts; art is fossilized emotions. As can be clearly observed the Necromancer does not enter a passive trance, instead he keeps conscious control. The Necromancer wishes to to evoke the Egregore without becoming a thrall. Great Nephthys is the goddess of Necromancy. Remember Isis had Nephthys help in resurrecting Osiris. Nephthys is the goddess of the death and rebirth experience, in other words the goddess of resurrection. The reader may wonder why after I have warned so much about Egregores that I embrace the goddess Nephthys? Nephthys is a dark goddess because she promotes the growth of the individual and not merging into a One. a Necromancer.
