The pain body as a thought form...hmmm. Perhaps there is another frequency of reality where thoughts dwell and while we are alive we tune into that. Then there is the possibility that thoughts are illusions produced by the many chemical/electric impulses that flow through the myriad synaptic connections (and quantum fluctuations may play a role)...

Thus, this eggregore business could be a particular mechanism in consciousness - in that other frequency of reality - that can influence us as individuals...OR...the experience of it is nothing but a hallucination or an elaborate concoction of the subconscious mind.

Isn't it possible that the eggregore is already a "ghost" that we can subscribe to (either in our minds or 'elsewhere') with the already existent qualities (negative or positive)?

Also, Robert, what makes you think that there is an afterlife?
