The term "egregor" often appears in modern literature. To understand what it is, you need to understand how it originates, develops and what is its essence.
Often an egregor is called an energy formation that connects a number of people who are engaged in one business. This can be a connection between employees of a labor collective or any other community of people.
Initially, the egregor is formed due to the emotional or energetic feeding of an idea that someone supports. Imagine a group of people gathering - it could be a work team, a chess club, a gathering of sports fans, classical music lovers, or a gathering of people with diabetes. They have some common thoughts, attitudes, emotions and aspirations. Gathering together, they exchange them, strengthen them, and as a result, a lot of energy is released, which is combined according to its own laws into some conglomerates, a kind of energy banks.
In order for an egregor to form, such meetings must take place at a certain frequency, otherwise the accumulated energy of the thoughts and experiences of the team will simply dissipate after a while.
The created energy bank begins to resonate with all members of the collective and, thus, general accumulations to some extent become the property of each individual member of society. First, people form an egregor, then it begins to influence people, cause certain moods, etc. Have you noticed that in any community people think in a similar way, they have similar ideas? Each team has a unique psychological climate.
A very interesting thing is also happening. The created bank of energies of the human community becomes something more than just the sum of information, energy, ideas or emotions of people. It turns into a kind of structure, I will not call it alive in the common sense of the word. However, she is already beginning to show some signs of intelligence. Egregor from some moment begins to have its own interests, to exercise its influence, to exert some influence on the people who created it. And the first thing he becomes interested in is the continuation of his existence. Egregor makes sure that the human community that created it continues to exist and recreate those emotions, ideas that already exist. That is, the egregor of the football club is interested in the matches continuing, people discussing them and experiencing some emotions. The egregor of any team will support this team as a whole in every possible way.
Usually, the influence of egregors is better felt by leaders, ideological or by their position. The leader is a person who is in contact with the general energy of the team, that is, with the egregor, deepest of all. Many observant leaders may say that they derive some strength from their position. And this is not only an opportunity to feel your elevated status in relation to other people. They physically, to some extent, use the resources of the entire community, the resources of the egregor. They have more strength, opportunities. Charismatic leaders can sleep less, their performance increases, new and original ideas come to them more often, etc. All this gives them egregor. Apparently, therefore, once a person has reached the top of a community, he wants to remain in his position as long as possible. Power gives some strength and opportunities that you really don't want to lose later. We now understand the mechanism. True, it should be noted that managers have to work much more.
Egregor seeks to continue its existence and therefore, at critical moments, in addition to the will of individual people, it can build situations for its salvation. Have you noticed that when a leader changes, the new person in this place quickly acquires some of the features of the former leader and also significantly strengthens his personal influence, even if this person did not previously have the ability to influence others? Egregor gives him new qualities and resources.
And now we come to another feature of the life of egregors. They build a hierarchy in the human team. The person at the top receives the greatest amount of resources and energy. Lower employees receive much less, and ordinary employees invest more in the common "boiler" than they receive from it. Although they, in their own way, get their advantages, for example, stability of belonging to a team, some protection, etc.
