The Creation of God II

A while ago, I began talking about whether god was created by man not as a mere concept as some thought but rather whether god has physical manifestation out of our need to exist.


What pushed me to this pondering was initially the Berserk chapter I talked about. But then I started thinking...


There was an episode in a TV-Series called 'Supernatural' called 'Hell House'. I know, I know my sources are not so credible, be it manga or TV but they only nudge towards a direction of pondering. In any case I never said I was a bloody philosopher...


What happened in that episode is that (among other irrelevant things) the notion of the thought-form was introduced. The story is about a allegedly haunted house which actually became haunted because a lot of people believed in it.

So what is a though-form? A thought-form in the manifestation of mental energy. The idea is that when focusing your thoughts on an idea this idea may actually materialize.


This idea is not totally absurd but actually has a form in most major religions:
  • Tibetan monks call this manifestations by the name of 'Tulpa', a being or object created through visualization and focus, that do the bidding of their creator.
  • The Jewish tradition speaks of 'Golems', creatures sculpted by mud and given life by 'spiritual' individuals to carry out important tasks (usually to protect or avenge Jewish people)
  • ...and of course do not let us forget my all time favorite, Angels. Winged, sexless beings that protect and guard from the world's evil.
So the above would explain if all these 'creatures' if I may call the so actually exist because we 'forced' them to materialize. That would definitely explain the various sightings of such phenomena while proving that there is always an explanation even if it does reach into uncharted territories of the human mind

Any thoughts?
