Perhaps they’re not the impersonal, intangible creations we think they are. Perhaps we don’t even create them but are ‘caught’ and riffled through, selected out of thin air becoming part of us forming some sort of parasitic relationship with us, their host.
Some even believe that thought forms are negative memes that have been generated by fear-spreading media or the matrix itself and are floating around above our heads just waiting to infect somebody. Is reality truthfully absent of thought and projection the adoption of thought or is thought essential for us to create our reality in the first place?
