Etymological definitions

1. Latin etymology: ex = outgoing of, gregs, gregis = the herd, crowd, and ending gold , “French or” = that which acts (contractor, sleeper). The égrégore is thus the fruit active, or born from the action, a crowd.

2. Greek etymology: “égrêgorein/egregoros” which means to take care/watcher has two directions, it is on the one hand name about a Ange present on the Mont Hermon in the Jewish legends, and on the other hand of a concept esoteric whose approximate definition is that of “ to be collective ”.

This last concept was introduced into the Occultisme by Stanislas de Guaita. The term then indicated the idea of the “personification” of physical or psychophysical forces nonsupernatural. The word is often also synonymous with form-thought.

According to Robert Ambelain, “One gives the name of égrégore to a force generated by a powerful spiritual current and fed then with regular intervals, according to a rate/rhythm in harmony with the universal Life of Cosmos, or with a meeting of entities linked by a common character. In the invisible one out of the physical perception of the man, exist artificial beings, generated by the devotion, enthusiasm, the fanaticism, which one names of the égrégores. ”

How does a égrégore function?

Égrégore is a powerful mental force, creates and maintained in activity by the form-thought, the desires and the emotions of many individuals linked with a common aim. This alive force, then has a form of autonomy and conscience.

The égrégore can be born for example from enthusiastic a collective Prière, or be to be the resultant of the development of religious, political, or nationalist extremism. One finds for example the exaltation of the race, of the supremacy of people or a religion.
