that exists on the mental/astral plane and can be transferred to the physical

Thought-form entities can be created and
summoned through evocation to carry out spells or provoke a psychic
attack and/or provide protection.
Thought-forms are invisible to most
people but can be seen clairvoyantly.
They are classified into three types: 1)
the image of the thinker, 2) an image of a material object associated
with the thought, 3) an image or symbol that expresses the inherent
qualities if the thought.
Thought-forms build up a person's energy
field or aura, creating and influencing behavior and characteristics. Negative
thoughts weaken a person, even starting the onset of illness, while positive
and loving thoughts act as a protective, energizing field.
Thought-forms radiate out and attract sympathetic
essences, thus forming the occult Law of Attraction or the marketing
maven, "The Secret", which holds that a person manifests on
the physical plane what he or she thinks on the mental/astral
plane.
