THE CONCEPT OF EGRÉGOR
A concept of egrégora ( GIVE THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD) is quite interesting and a little difficult to understand in the first moments, for our rational mind of the Western world. The egrégora is a mental set of concepts that we practice throughout our lives and that often changes throughout ours. We often act or think in some particular way without realizing it is not due to our free will but rather because of an egrégora. We all live in different egrégoras without realizing it. All mental processes are forming egrégoras, small or large. I think first he used the concept of egrégora was Jesus when he said that "when two people, or more, were gathered in his name he would be together." The simplest way to explain egrégora is through examples. The most powerful egrégoras are our beliefs and consequently the different religions.
Each religion has its rules and rituals, follow a certain avatar, possesses its beliefs, a code of ethics to be used on this side of life and usually says what will occur when we move to the other side, when we "die". Of course this process of death of the physical body is common for all human beings, has no logic to nature or to be acting differently for each human being depending on his religion. Therefore, people who follow a certain religion do so because of the egrégora of that religion. The same thing happens to peoples from different countries or even races: they have their own characteristics that identify him among others. This is due to the egrégora of that people. In a simple way, whenever a human cluster is formed thinking in a similar way, it is forming the egregoras or a collective mind, where each person is connecting, as we connect on the Internet, and from there we begin to act according to the rules of that egregora. There are egregoras of football teams, and especially in large corporations, where real brain washing is made, where everyone thinks the same and even dress the same way. Technically, we could say that we are tuning into the different energy frequencies of those egrégoras that we have affinity for, by the law of resonance or attraction. Marketing people are specialized in creating artificial egoras and through advertising they create them according to the interests of the companies behind them. The fashion case is very visible every season. In my executive era was the tie: it widened, narrowed, balls, the color of Manhattan fashion, and so it goes. Sometimes it is because a senior executive has a certain mania, that the subordinates begin to imitate it and unconsciously go forming an egrégora. Another interesting issue is that it behaves like a living being, if it is fed it grows or the other way around.
In psychological terms that first addressed this subject was Carl G. Jung, when he coined the term "collective unconscious". You could have some fun now and find out how many ecégoras you are connected to and in many of them, unconsciously. As a last example, if this book succeeds and influences many people, it also creates an egrégora. The reason for these concept is to explain the technosphere and the noosphere that comes next.
