Egregores

[george]

You just might be onto something.

or something else..

from:
http://www.archangels-and-angels.com/misc/grigori.html

The word "egregore" (also "grigori") is a transliteration of the Greek word, egregoroi, meaning "watchers". This word appears in the septuagint translation of the Book of Lamentations, as well as the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch.

Therefore an egregore is an angel, sometimes called watcher; in Hebrew the word is ir, and the concept appears in The Book of Enoch. Thus, Irim, the city of the Nephilim is again linked with the Book of Enoch, since the Nephilim, according to that Book, were the sons of the Irim (the egregores.). .Although the Irim, the egregores, are angels on both sides of the camp - fallen angels as well as faithful ones.

Hmmm..

and from http://www.illuminati-news.com/00360.html we have:
Understanding the Occult: What is an Egregore?
by Theron Dunn, 32° Freemason

This is the spirit the egregore connects us with that fills us and carries us. It is this spirit that breathes in us, inspires us with brotherly love, relief, truth and charity.

OK..

then this:

according to Guénon that an egregore is a manifestation of psychic energy, as opposed to a spiritual force as the occultists would define it.

I find this distinction most interesting because to me these two are one. I need to contemplate this more.
