ok... here it is

'In fact, there are on the astral plane vast numbers of thought-forms of a comparatively permanent character, often the result of the cumulative work of generations of people. Many of these refer to alleged religious history, and the sight of them by sensitive peoples responsible for many quite genuine accounts given by untrained seers and seeresses. Any great historical event, having constantly being thought of, and vividly imaged by large numbers of people, exists as a definite thought-form on the mental plane, and wherever there is any strong emotion connected with it, it is materialized also in astral matter and consequently be seen by clairvoyant. This applies equally, of course, to situations in fiction, drama, etc.'

Hi rosettastoned,

This is definitely the case. Those thought forms are out there and can be experienced. These sorts of "shell" forms are out there on many levels of consciousness. One could even make the case that the what we see as the "real world" physical manifestation is also but a shell thought form, and it is also likewise energized by cumulative generations of people as well as the thoughts of people living now and yourself.

This is all the result of karma, which is thought, and which creates the sense of time and separated, isolated existence.

Best wishes,

Blake
