In Witchcraft, techniques are given to deliberately create thought forms and then send them out on "missions" for the purpose of influencing or controlling others. One witchcraft text states, e.g., "appear in someone’s dreams and thereby convince them to do whatever you wish." There is no legitimate Spiritual use for thought forms. They are a creation of the lower realities and cannot exist in the Spiritual zones of Region II or Region I which are "beyond thought". If you are somehow linked or attached to a thought form, then you cannot enter these regions either. You will be limited to the thought forms natural home which is the third or Causal Plane in Region III. When witches and sorcerers create thought forms, they know what they are doing. They also know techniques to dissolve the thought from when they are finished with it. However, unsuspecting people who may never have heard the phrase "thought form" can be tricked into generating them and taking them for something other than what they really are. This trick allows many phony "masters" to convince people they are for real by enticing them to concentrate upon them so intensely that they actually create a thought form in the image of the phony master. Since they can "see" the thought form they conclude that the "master" is watching over them. One phony group invented an imaginary "history" complete with totally fabricated "ancient masters" to convince members that they had existed for a long time. Artists painted pictures of the "imaginary past masters". Some members then began to "see" these nonexistent masters and claimed that they were present at meetings and were protecting them, etc. Another "trick of the mind" used to dupe the unaware. When people work in groups and share experiences on other planes of existence, (such as witches, remote viewers, etc.) they "see each other inside". However, this is a real event and can be externally verified. In an awake/alert state the people involved can compare notes and remember events they had in the altered states of consciousness. However, experiences with "thought forms of masters" are totally internal to the experiencer. The "master" has no knowledge whatsoever of any details of this. If you are working with a master, then, it is important to make sure that any "internal" experience can be "externally" verified. If you are unable to confirm this because your questions get ignored or answered by "double-talk" or evasive statements, it is time to seriously consider that your "master" might be a fake. If you are linked to a thought form at the time of death, you will not be able to rise above the plane where thought forms generate which is the Causal Plane. It is not possible to enter the legitimately Spiritual Regions attached to a thought form. It is not possible for a thought form to "guide you" to any legitimately Spiritual Region. ASTROLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS Early in the next century we have some unique Astrological events scheduled which should result in a slight nudge upward in the overall consciousness of mankind here on the Earth. Any competent Astrologer can give you the exact dates and times if you’re curious, but the main point is that there should be some permanent changes in man’s thought processes and he will just have to learn to cope with that .
