Thoughtform entities are astral entities that are created due to recurring thought patterns. These are often created intentionally by knowledgeable magickians that can aid them or a group such as servitors and egregores. While they are created by people they take on a life of their own and can effect the minds of people to some benefit. However, thoughtform entities can also be created unintentionally and these beings can have a drastic and negative effect on the people they effect.
When a particular thought pattern accompanied by strong emotions is repeated many times, often in a particular place, negative thoughtform entities can be created. Often created through intense traumatic experiences, these entities feed off the negative emotions of their hosts. In the ancient past these entities were occasionally worshiped as gods and practices of ritual human sacrifice were performed to feed these entities. For example, the Aztecs of Pre-Columbian Mexico sacrificed thousands of people a day during the consecration of the Great Pyramid at Tenochtitlan in honor of their god Huitzilopochtli and the people of ancient Canaan and Israel offered their children to be burnt alive in the statue of Moloch.
Fortunately, these "gods" are no longer openly worshipped and human sacrifice has for the most part been eliminated from our society, relegating these entities to the shadows. Unfortunately, the rise of the materialist reductionist mindset people generally think of when they refer to science has caused people to no longer believe in such entities giving them plenty of room to find their prey amongst an unsuspecting populace.
These astral parasites can be picked up in many ways. Often they are passed down through a bloodline with each successive generation traumatizing the next until their spirits have been broken down enough for the full hostile takeover. A person can also pick up these parasites if they have visited places of massive trauma such as the temples I spoke of earlier. This is particularly true if that person has recently experienced a massive life-altering trauma. Certain groups of dark occultists also (stupidly) work with these beings and unwitting people can be infected through participation in certain rituals. These methods can be combined for even greater effect. For example, someone of a particular bloodline who has experienced massive trauma can be duped into participating in rituals and visiting sites of ritual human sacrifice, perhaps even coming into contact with the tools of this ghastly practice or the remains of it's victims, by a group of dark occultists. Unless this person had taken the time and put forth the effort to learn how to protect themselves from these beings they would certainly become horribly infected.
The symptoms of astral parasite infection are as numerous as they are unpleasant. These entities have the ability to inject thoughts into the minds of their victims and unless one is aware of how these entities operate and has taken the time to know their own subconscious they will likely mistake these thoughts as their own. Since these beings feed on negative emotions, drama will follow these people wherever they go. Paranoid thoughts of being stalked will plague the victim to generate the fear these creatures need to survive. These people will constantly start arguments with everyone around them even persisting for hours if necessary until the other person finally loses their temper at being nagged and poked constantly at which point the infected person will flip into fear mode, often overreacting to the other's actions as if they truly feared for their lives.
Since the parasite can only successfully operate if their host is unaware of it's presence the person will be completely unaware of their actions. Furthermore, they will be completely unable to listen to the truth about how their actions are effecting the people around them. This can lead to hypocritical situations where the person is simultaneously excusing their abusive behavior while accusing you of being abusive. Once the entity has been sated they will go into a period of relative calm where they will be incredibly lucid and even caring so long as you don't try to address their behavior until something awakens the beast within them. In extreme cases the entity will even be able to effect the physical world and the infected person will be followed around by such phenomenon as things mysteriously moving from where they were left, strange knocks and other sounds with seemingly no source and other unexplainable occurences.
Astral parasite infestation is often diagnosed as some form of mental illness. While technically it is a form of mental illness the cause is of a spiritual nature rather than a physical one like a chemical imbalance. This can lead them to be prescribed psychiatric medication such as xanax or klonopin with the intention of calming the person down. However, these actually make the situation much worse by dulling the infected person's mind and providing a means of escaping the guilt associated with their behavior making it much less likely that the person will realize the nature of the problem and fix it.
Unfortunately, there is little even a seasoned magickian can do for a person in such a situation. Unless that person can admit that there is a problem and is willing to do whatever it takes to solve it the problem will only grow. Since they are unable to admit their role they will always seek to blame everyone and everything around them for their internal and eventually external chaos. While they aren't truly a sociopath in the strictest sense of the word they effectively are as the entity will feed them a steady stream of justifications for even such actions as blatant lies and physical abuse and they will be unable to feel any remorse for their actions.
These people may be attracted to you after you go through a particularly rough period such as leaving a long term relationship. They will try to illicit pity from you as they recount the "horror stories" of their past relationships that conveniently leave out any of their negative behavior. These people will seem great at first but once they have you in their trap they will seek to isolate you from any support you may have. That's when the abuse begins as the entity within them seeks to feed off the negative emotions generated by both of you. They will find out what you are most sensitive about then attack it mercilessly in an effort to illicit the emotions the entity craves. However, they will later act very sweet to you and act like they are the only ones who care about you. They won't apologize but act like they are forgiving you. Then the cycle will begin again.
If you find yourself in such a situation the best course of action is to separate yourself as completely as possible. The entity will not want to let their emotional lunch leave and they will do anything to try to get the rise out of you they previously used to get. Do not react. Just cut ties and focus on positive action. You will be surprised how quickly your life will right itself. Projects that had been constantly delayed will suddenly happen very quickly. New people will come into your life that support you emotionally and truly care about you. Life will become good again.
I hope this article helps someone out there that is dealing with this type of situation. If you feel that you may be infected it is very important that you learn to meditate and questions your thoughts so that you can distinguish between your thoughts and those of the entity and not act on the wrong ones. If you feel someone around you may be infected you must realize that unless the person recognizes the problem it will not be solved and separate yourself immediately. Good luck and happy steeming!
