Artificial Ghosts / Poltergeists

[Someone333]

How many here are familiar with the "Phillip Experiment," or the concept of "Poltergeist Agents?"

I think I read something like it before. Was it a bunch of people collaborated on information pertaining to a ghost of a guy who never existed, and then got a different group of people to contact this ghost character over the ouija board?

It was in Toronto. A group of people unknowingly created an egregore. An egregore is created by a group as opposed to a servitor which is created by one person. You are on to something, keep studying.

Sorry for the delayed response, yes, you are both correct.

 

Chaos Magick, which Enoch327 (I am guessing) is referencing, seems to incorporate similar concepts into it's practices, (and its ideas, in turn, are incorporated into a number of later occult systems), but parapsychology, in general, seems convinced that all apparently supernatural entities are effectively some form of tulpa; as far as I can tell.

Chaos Magick itself is a collection of previous magical ideas with some NLP added for good measure. Some religions consider the universe itself to be nothing more than a thought form. Edgar Allen Poe said "Life is but a dream within a dream. "

I've read about the Philip experiment before. I've always wanted to try that myself. Though lately I've been of the opinion that there's nothing paranormal about it.

It has been said that magic is stuff we don't know about. It could be that there is no such thing as magic or miracles. Just stuff we don't fully understand yet. I spent years trying to figure out how to create a glamour, only to discover that I already lived in one of my creation.
