The meaning of "egregor"

Question

I have heard this word being used in the context of "ambiente", "atmosphere", but I cannot find it in any dictionary. Thank you.

Answer 1

Egregore (also "egregor") is an occult concept representing a "thoughtform" or "collective group mind", an autonomous psychic entity made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of a group of people. The symbiotic relationship between an egregore and its group has been compared to the more recent, non-occult concepts of the corporation (as a legal entity) and the meme.

The word "egregore" derives from the Greek word, ????????? (egr?goroi), meaning "watchers" (also transliterated "grigori"). This word appears in the Septuagint translation of the Book of Lamentations,[1] as well as the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch.

Eliphas Lévi, in Le Grand Arcane ("The Great Mystery", 1868) identifies "egregors" (sic) with the tradition concerning the fathers of the nephilim, describing them as "terrible beings" that "crush us without pity because they are unaware of our existence." [2]

The concept of the egregore as a group thoughtform was developed in works of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucians,[citation needed] and has been referenced by writers such as Valentin Tomberg.

Answer 2

Thanks Natarikita, but can this word be used as in the following sentence? "He venido a crear un egregor espiritual" (please vote for me so I can vote for you, I don't have any reputation yet)

Answer 3

“Egregor” [Del griego Egregoroi] significa velar (to watch). Egrégora también proviene del mismo término y designa la fuerza generada por la sumatoria de las energías físicas, emocionales y mentales de dos o más personas cuando se reúnen con cualquier finalidad. I don't know what egregor, in this sense, might have to do with "ambiente". I hope it is helpful.

Answer 6

Sus respuestas han sido muy interesantes pero fíjense bien cual es el uso que le estoy dando a esta palabra "egregor".

"No he venido a inculcarles una nueva religión…ni siquiera he venido a actualizar la vieja. Mi propósito es el de crear un egregor espiritual en el que todos podamos cultivar un sentimiento de paz,"

Le damos el nombre de Egregor a una Fuerza generada por una poderosa corriente espiritual, la cual es alimentada a intervalos regulares, conforme a un ritmo<

Egrégora también proviene del mismo término y designa la fuerza generada por la sumatoria de las energías físicas, emocionales y mentales de dos o más personas cuando se reúnen con cualquier finalidad.<

La palabra egregor podría ser reemplazada aquí por "ambiente", "atmósfera", "corriente." Entonces la respuesta sería sí, se puede utilizar en el contexto.
