"= Psychogons and Apparitions
In the brochure @ilith@. from hich I ill gi+e an excer$t belo. the main character 0ichael tries to change his succubus7$sychogon to mae it a mediator beteen him and his deity/ The $sychogon as a mediator should be directed and +i+ified by the conscious mind of the deity. although the substantial basis ould still be originating from 0ichael/ 0ichael mets the succubus7$sychogon in his normally conscious 8B# state and notices that it is inacti+e/ ThatKs the situation here the story continues; "nstead, in +ront o+ #ichael %as a pschogon %ithout o%n %ill and %ithout initiati/e. "t %as li3e a car standing in a garage and %aiting +or being used. A passi/e +igure, into %hich eotional po%er and iagination had to be trans+erred i n order to a3e it becoe acti/e. The coparison to a plaing doll, %hich has to be %ound up to be able to o/e around, suggests itsel+. And depending on ho% uch the ainspring is tightened, the doll %ill o/e +aster or slo%lier. "t is /er siilar: the ore eotions +lo%ing into the succubus0 pschogon, the ore ali/e and acti/e it %ould be.

A+ter due consideration " cae to the +ollo%ing conclusion: 1 Ho% do o%n characteristics interact %ith the pschogon?s =ualit All characteristics and =ualities a pschogon has are iprinted onto it. A pschogon is li3e a roboter that has to be prograed. "t cannot e/ol/e characteristics on its o%n. Ho%e/er, a strong pschogon possesses a certain sur/i/al instinct. Po%er+ul religious pschogons o+ deities see to e/ol/e an o%n consciousness. F Can a pschogon be isused b other, un%anted beings A non0collecti/e pschogon can be copared to a pullo/er %hich is 3nitted +or personal use. The pschogon possesses as uch intelligence as a pullo/er, %hich eans it has no intelligence at all. "t contains an autoatis %hich has been gi/en to it b onsesel+. Li3e %ith a pullo/er, %ith a pschogon there is an o%nership situation. "t coes +ro e and thus it is controlled b e 6 or unconsciousl b subconscious. "t is also possible +or e to lend pullo/er, abe to sister or to another closel related person. "n case it could be the deit as %ell.

G What i4ed =ualities could de/elop in a pschogon0chiera "+ %e %ish the pschogon to be directed b a higher intelligence, %e ust not pro2ect an %ishes onto the pschogon %hich %ould steer its beha/iour. $nl sa+et precautions are allo%ed in order to +orbid lo% beha/iours and /ibes.
