Further, let&#8217;s assume for a moment that such creatures can hide their presence and like the tapeworm, become part of the emotional\/mental fabric of an individual human (we have loads of emotional and mental energy to feed on compared to other animals).<\/p>\n<p>I ask you: which has more energy, an angry person or an emotionally charged mob of people? Pretty obvious answer, huh? That mob is a Mass Mind Entity (MME).<\/p>\n<p>If you were a psychological tapeworm, could you think of a better source of emotional feeding than an emotionally charged mob (MME)? Given the choice of emotionally charged individual and an emotionally charged MME, I know what I&#8217;d choose if I were that tapeworm.<\/p>\n<p>At the core of an MME is an individual or set of individuals who direct the MME&#8217;s actions &#8211; sort of like the brain directs a body&#8217;s actions. All the tapeworm has to do is influence the core MME in order to influence and direct the whole &#8211; just like a physical tapeworm does in a human host body.<\/p>\n<p>The physical tapeworm emits strong chemical markers that direct the host&#8217;s bodily functions. A &#8220;convincing process&#8221; of a psychological parasite, such as a tapeworm, would use to direct the host MMEs &#8220;appetite&#8221;? You might look at mob mentality to get some ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s assume for a moment that there are such things as psychological tapeworms &#8211; &#8220;creatures&#8221; that feed on emotional and mental energy.
