117. Egregores, Tulpas, Thought-Forms and Pendulums
As an Akashic Records teacher, Suzie Ridley introduces the esoteric concept of thought forms, and how thoughts can become “things” on the subtle planes. This episode helps you understand how the mental body impacts your light grid, why some thoughts feel received rather than generated, and how collective thought energy can influence individuals more than we often realise.
Following on from last week’s episode on NPCs, Suzie explores the occult and esoteric foundations behind “soulless” created entities, and why the mental body matters just as much as the emotional body. She breaks down key terms that often get misunderstood, including thought forms, tulpas (individual-created), egregores (collective-created), and “pendulums” (a modern framing), and invites you to start noticing what you repeatedly think, what you emotionally feed, and what you may be unconsciously plugged into.
In this episode, you’ll learn
A grounded way to “think about thinking”, and why meditation reveals you as the observer of thoughts
The difference between thoughts that are internally generated and thoughts that feel received as downloads
What thought forms are, and how repeated thoughts can attract more of the same pattern and energy
The difference between tulpas (individual thought-created entities) and egregores (collective thought-and-emotion created entities)
How “pendulums” and collective currents can influence desire, behaviour, and sovereignty, and what it means to disengage with curiosity rather than fear
