Non-physical entity that arises from a collective group of people?
Very strange concept:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore
https://whattherapy.com/egregores-what-are-you-feeding/
I have been looking for resources that explain the concept from a Christian Worldview but have found none.
According to parts of the book a two-waters person says is all demonic:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg
The book on other parts suggests that it even influences denominations, could there be something here?
Any ideas? anyone knowing of spirit-filled believers that tell it like it is regarding this concept?
Could this be behind the ancient cultures involvement in sacrifice?
Any good info welcomed, and thanks ahead of time.
Found some explanatory information (non-Christian)

Peace and grace.

A simple starting point - the concept of emergence in biology (Concepts: Emergence — New England Complex Systems Institute (necsi.edu)) which covers much of the same ground. It is basic systems theory without needing recourse to the occult. It would require an extensive background in the occult to not mutilate the concept, far more background than I care to acquire.
