Thoughtforms

Hey there kiddo! So, have you ever had a really good idea or thought pop into your head? Well, that thought is kind of like a "thoughtform".

A thoughtform is basically a made-up thing that's made purely of thoughts or ideas. It's not really a physical thing like a toy or a book, but it exists in our minds.

Just like how you can imagine an imaginary friend, a thoughtform is kind of like an imaginary idea or concept. But sometimes, people can focus on these thoughtforms so much that they feel like they're real.

For example, some people believe in ghosts or spirits that are thoughtforms, created by people's beliefs and opinions. Some people think that if they think hard enough about getting good grades, it will come true - that's another form of thoughtform.

So, to sum it up, a thoughtform is basically an idea or concept that exists in our minds, and sometimes, they can feel real if we believe in them enough. Pretty cool, right?
