Thought FormsThe term Thought Forms was created by Annie Besant and Charles Wester Leadbeater of the Theosophical Society inn their book“Thought Forms”.
As
part of their clairvoyant observations
they saw thought forms and and wrote: “each definite thought
produces a double effect — a radiating vibration and a floating form.”
The Thought Form wasn’t a new concept and was present as part of
Theosophical literature.
According to ancient teachings, during your process of thinking and
feeling there are two phenomena which take place. The first is that you
create a Thought Form (or a Thought Entity). A thought form is a real
entity created by the process of thinking.
In one of his letters, Master KH wrote: “Thoughts are things — have tenacity, coherence, and life, — that they are real entities.” Thought forms in general are usually very weak and have a very short life-span
A thought form is made of energy and contains emotional and mental
matter. A thought form can be well formed or vague. The clearer the
thought, the more well defined would be the thought form. Also, the
thought form can be either positive or negative — depending on the
thoughts and emotions of a person. For example, anger creates a negative
thought form… while compassion creates a positive thought form.
Thought forms are real in the sense that it becomes (for a period of time) a kind of independent living being. A thought form is the spiritual equivalent to a computer program.
The sub-routines of will keep running the same program until you change them.
According to Besant and Leadbeater, a thought form directed towards an individual will have definitely marked effects. For example, a thought of love and of a desire to protect, directed strongly towards some beloved person will create a through form. This thought form will go to the person thought of and remains in his or her aura as a shielding and protecting agent; it will seek all opportunities to serve, and all opportunities to defend (provided there is karmic entitlement). The converse is also true.
A negative thought form will have the opposite effect. For example if you were to be present in an environment (such as an office) which contains a lot of stress and anger, then you would tend to get stressed and angry. This is on account of strong psychic radiatory fields of stress and anger which are present there. There are several types of negative thought forms. There are weakening thoughts which are caused owing to unnecessary belittling remands and criticism. These tend to have serious damaging effects on the person these are being projected upon.
The negative thought form, when accepted in the aura and some of the chakras of a person will result in a poor self-image, low self-confidence, low self-esteem and will hinder the future success of a person. It is like introducing a sub-routine which runs the same negative program over and over again. There are several others like aggressive thoughts (typically projected by salesmen to make you buy things you do not really need), snobbish thoughts, racist thoughts, and violent thoughts amongst others.
Intentional or not, these negative programs and have a tendency to cause bad consequences. Hence it is important to learn to protect (or shield) yourself from negative thought forms. It is also important to learn and apply techniques which can help to purify your space.
