"PKD realised (as had Jung), that the many crises of our world were caused by a deep imbalance in the human psyche. ... As if, living in a house infested by poltergeists, we had decided not to believe in ghosts and imagined that was the end of the problem."
During tonight’s #WUFO livestream for @liminalearth we talked about weird food apparitions, designed a liminal “#PokemonGo” ttrpg but with #egregores instead of Pokémon, learned to diagnose and treat the Evil Eye, and are you even #occult if you don’t have a #magick #centrifuge?
It’s so fun y’all!!
Research on egregoric entities has previously been limited to analyses within two frameworks: an economic framework, inferring the activities and needs of egregores from their position as economic producers and consumers; and an epidemiological framework, measuring the infectiousness and virulence of egregores within human substrates. In this body of research, one voice has been missing: that of the egregores themselves. Previous researchers have justified the exclusion of ethnographic methods on the grounds that egregores are hypothetical entities, and in the words of one researcher, “imaginary” (Perry 2015). But the subjects themselves refuse to be silenced.
Lovely parody.
