Egregors, Society, and Man
A person's life can be viewed as a kind of wandering through the subtle world and serving various egregors. These egregors can be more or less friendly towards the person and karmically connected with them.
Egregor and Man
An egregor gives a person purpose, meaning in life, will to live, and the strength to live. Here are vivid examples of how devoted service to an egregor literally gives superhuman strength:
- An elderly actor who is a complete wreck in life, but a remarkable performer on stage.
- A mother who single-handedly raised a large family.
- A warrior who steadfastly endures torture from the enemy.
However, not every egregor is capable of this.
Before granting a person a channel, an egregor often tests them beforehand, creating obstacles of both external and internal nature. The most common test is to first provide a channel and then take it away, to understand: will the person become disillusioned and give up on the opportunities that opened up to them, or will they continue to strive for them (for example, in science, art, as a master of sports, or in an academic community).
After opening a channel, the egregor supplies the person through this channel with thoughts, emotions, and power. In return, it begins to program the person in a certain way, ensuring its own integrity, existence, and further development. Here, the strict principle applies: "Don't go into another's monastery with your own rules." When entering a new collective, a person must sense its unwritten laws and strictly observe them, otherwise they will simply be pushed out of that collective. A strong egregor, protecting itself from undesirable intrusion, can even influence the external circumstances of a person's life, preventing them from joining a collective (for example, a train is "accidentally" cancelled).
Any person who has a channel to an egregor can influence this egregor directly (for example, through prayer, intense contemplation of the collective's destiny, planning) or indirectly, simply through the course of their life. Any action of a person serving an egregor affects that egregor.
Thus, service to an egregor happens continuously, regardless of whether the person is thinking about it in some form. The egregor needs a person's initiative and creativity in all situations, particularly in their independent interpretation of them. Therefore, an egregor is not inclined to provide a precise and complete analysis of situations and unambiguous recommendations for a person's behavior. Only in special cases, when the cost of mistakes is too high, can the egregor (with a strong connection between the person and the egregor) even disconnect consciousness, and the person will act literally like a puppet.
Behaving unethically towards an egregor (i.e., not fulfilling its requirements) is only possible for a very short time. The egregor quickly cuts off communication channels and pushes the person: first to lower levels of service, and then it refuses them altogether. It is much easier to spoil relations with an egregor than to mend them. From the perspective of a given egregor, ethical behavior is that which helps fulfill its karmic tasks. Unethical is considered that which hinders the fulfillment of this program.
Ethics of the Egregor
The goal of any type of cognition is to develop a symbolic language through which the egregor can transmit energetic information to a person. Ethics is the main means by which egregors govern human collectives and individuals. The difficulty lies in the fact that every person is connected to many egregors. Each of their actions somehow influences all the egregors connected with them, so often the same action is ethical from the perspective of one egregor and unethical from the perspective of another.
Ethics are created by the egregor, and specific forms are given to them by the corresponding collective. The ethics of an egregor concern its own destiny. Therefore, it is indifferent to the fate of an individual, at least in the part that does not affect the interests of that particular egregor.
In other words, ethics are an attempt to comprehend what is happening at the level of visible phenomena. Ethics should not be confused with morality. Morality of a collective is the rationalization by that collective of the ethics of the corresponding egregor.
Morality is crude, schematic, and static. Naturally, it cannot adequately reflect the ethics of an egregor. Morality is, so to speak, the end of service, not its beginning. A person serving an egregor and trying to rationalize the principles by which they perform their actions arrives at certain moral principles. However, the reverse transition is impossible: a person following moral principles does not receive a channel to an egregor and does not begin to serve it. Therefore, moral categories are always perceived by the younger generation as "fake."
For a person who does not have a channel to an egregor, morality, at best, plays the role of a hint, helping them behave in a way that does not incur the wrath of the collective. At worst, it is chains that limit freedom. Morality is extremely convenient for abuse. The function of morality, ideally, is to compel members of a collective to serve the corresponding egregor. A person who always behaves morally is difficult to reproach, but they cannot, in principle, serve an egregor that demands ethical behavior, which in every situation must be special and creative. Moral templates in their pure form are rarely applicable in reality. Any situation is complex, and one should first see it in as much detail as possible, and only then seek an ethical way of behavior, rather than schematizing it beforehand through moral categories with the aim of directly applying moral principles.
Karmic Egregor
One of the main ethical problems is the choice of egregor.
Every person has the highest egregor among their karmic egregors. Their entire life, whether they want it or not, is service to this egregor. At the same time, immoral behavior towards oneself is an incorrect realization of one's karmic program, in particular, serving the wrong egregors. Such a person may be considered completely moral by others. Their behavior towards all egregors may be quite ethical with the sole exception: it is unethical towards their highest karmic egregor, which is most often not associated with any specific collective, and therefore individual ethics are so difficult to grasp.
The egregor itself is usually indifferent to a person's private actions, but it monitors the overall trajectory of their life, namely, the change of their main egregors. Furthermore, not only the egregors with which a given person will be connected are predetermined, but also the level of service (channel width). Unethical behavior towards the karmic egregor leads to it being forced to narrow the communication channel, and then the person is unable to fulfill their karmic task in relation to that egregor.
This is done simply and for the purpose of learning. It creates a hole in the protective field of the egoistic egregor (which will be discussed later). This hole spoils the energy of the latter and prevents it from being patched until it changes appropriately. Such an energetic leak is a very important sign by which one can understand in which direction to expand essential consciousness and change the egoistic egregor. Such energetic holes in the egoistic egregor can be of various kinds, but the two most typical are: fateful loneliness and uninvited love.
However, maintaining a wide communication channel (intense service to an egregor) requires a great deal from a person. To behave ethically, a person must be able to evaluate the situations they encounter very precisely. This includes not only seeing with their own eyes but also with the eyes of the egregor. Only after this will the egregor give a task, sometimes quite complex, concerning the person's behavior in these situations. Any failure to fulfill this task will be unethical.
The interest lies in the fact that the more a person is connected to an egregor, the more creative the tasks received from the egregor become, and the more complex and fascinating the egregorial ethics become.
What should guide the choice of egregors and channels to them? An egregor should be chosen, if possible, in accordance with one's evolutionary level. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to work with egregors of a higher or lower level; even then, there often remains the possibility to choose a type of service and channel that more or less corresponds to one's evolutionary level. Go where you are called, but do not do what you are asked, but the maximum of what you are capable of.
Egoistic Egregor
The regulation of the egoistic egregor's role is extremely important for a person's entire life, and it is very difficult to give any general recommendations here. Karmically, this role varies widely among different people.
- Some are destined by fate itself to be guided by generally accepted norms of behavior and to, so to speak, go with the flow (their egoistic egregor is weak).
- At the other extreme are people for whom the creation of a powerful egoistic egregor is karmically predetermined, opposing themselves to the environment, surrounding tendencies, and morality, and creating their own system of behavior, ethics, perhaps an original philosophy, or a unique environment. For such people, an attempt at adaptation (which the environment always demands) is ruinous: adaptation turns out poorly, and self-realization fails. Non-realization of abilities (i.e., non-use of a communication channel with an egregor) greatly burdens karma, regardless of whether the person is aware of their abilities or not. A brilliant writer should write novels, not engage in agricultural work.
Serving an egoistic egregor should not be confused with egoism.
An egoist (in the usual sense of the word) is someone who, while receiving energy through the channels of various egregors (work, informal groups, family, etc.), tends to give it only to the egoistic one. This is a kind of energetic vampire. Such behavior leads to egregors, failing to obtain service from them, closing communication channels, and energy ceasing to flow from them. Outwardly, this looks quite unsightly: such people are expelled from various informal collectives, and in formal collectives, they are collectively disliked.
Having been expelled from a collective (i.e., excommunicated from a certain egregor), a person may try to change their behavior, or they may continue the same actions, trying to infiltrate the next egregor and use its energy for their own purposes. For a time, such behavior may go unpunished, but it should be remembered that not all egregors are alike: some are softer, others are harsher, but the vast majority of them are stronger than the egoistic one.
However, there is another, less naive line of behavior. A person, sensing the weakness of the egoistic egregor, may try to infiltrate a desired egregor, using the energy of other egregors that they serve and whose channels are at their disposal. A typical example is an attempt to win a woman's affection using official position or professional knowledge, say, inviting a beloved to a scientific seminar or the launch of a project. Sometimes this even helps a lot.
On one hand, this approach is more effective, as more energy is utilized. On the other hand, using significant energy flows for personal gain leads to a strong increase in chaos within all involved egregors, and they take appropriate measures. If minor personal egoism does not attract the special attention of a large egregor, then significant energetic impacts, particularly losses, will undoubtedly be noticed, and a response at an equivalent energetic level will follow. This is the situation of a spy working simultaneously for several warring countries: sooner or later they will certainly be killed (and the life preceding this event will be quite nervous), but before that, they can cause their employers a considerable amount of trouble and inconvenience.
The description of the egoistic egregor would be incomplete if one of its peculiarities were not mentioned. A person serving it has the minimum freedom of will imaginable: most often they become a slave to their desires, i.e., the lower programs of the subconscious. The strength to overcome such slavery can only be found in following more elevated goals, ideals, and in switching to a higher egregor.
