What is the difference between the religious concept of God and the Absolute in shamanic philosophy?

In this shamanic perspective, the religious God is viewed as an 'egregore'—a thought-form or pseudo-being created and sustained by collective human belief and energy. In contrast, the Absolute represents the primordial, unconditioned principle of the highest being that exists independently of human thought and religious structures.

How does the concept of an 'egregore' explain religious miracles?

An egregore gains real power through the constant energy and faith fed into it by its followers. While rare, 'miracles' are seen as manifestations of this accumulated psychic energy within the egregore's field, rather than the actions of an independent, transcendent creator.

Why does the author suggest that religious structures can lead to energy depletion?

The author posits that religious systems often function as energy-draining mechanisms where the 'pseudo-being' (the egregore) requires life-force from its adherents to maintain its existence. This can result in a significant loss of vitality for the practitioner, as their energy is transferred to sustain the thought-field and its associated entities.

Religious God vs. Shamanism and the Absolute

< The Religious Christian God from the Perspective of Shamanism
(I am basing this on the lectures of a shamanic scholar)
The power of people's minds/thoughts is enormous. If a large number of people start believing in an idea, it becomes real. The Christian God is perceived from a shamanic perspective as a kind of pseudo-being that was "created" by people themselves. This may not be an entirely accurate statement, but the religious God is essentially an egregore (a thought field to which a person mostly enslaves themselves). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g_nmGqUkUQ

A person who is very experienced in astral travel can tune into the Christian God – this pseudo-being – in a certain way, or see or perceive it in some way.
The pseudo-being of the Christian God asks to eat. It needs constant energy (also to maintain its existence). A religious person, through their faith in God, is strongly robbed of energy. This energy is then drained by demonic beings, and they also feed on it. As a former fanatical Christian, I must unequivocally confirm this from my own experience: when I was a Christian, I felt a significant loss of life force – I felt how religion drained energy from me.
So-called light beings even explained to me during telepathic communication that beings have very sophisticated strategies: Christians are programmed to drain energy even from non-religious people with whom they are in social contact and communication. Christians are energy parasites, and you should always try to avoid them in social communication (e.g., at work) if possible. Your energy will be transferred to demonic beings. Christians are like antennas for draining life-giving energy. Christians are intermediaries between hellish demonic worlds and this reality visible to us. There is a lot of negative energy in Christians, try to avoid them (and this mainly concerns fanatical Christians). It is also interesting that the aforementioned shamanic scholar says that during astral travel he also met other pseudo-beings that people/Christians themselves created with their faith – it is a primitive fairy-tale image of angels with wings. As the aforementioned shamanic scholar himself said, he is glad if he moves away from the astral plane closely connected with planet Earth and does not have to observe these pseudo-beings during astral travel.
From the word God itself, a person naturally feels a certain resistance, as if something disharmonious, as if something negative. This is no coincidence. This word carries a lot of negative energy and a lot of evil. In the name of this word, people were murdered, bloodily and violently Christianized, burned, and to this day this word is abused by religions. Instead of the word "God", I use the word "Absolute" when I want to denote the principle of the highest being.

It was not God who created people, but people who created God, by the power of their thoughts.

Miracles in Christianity
Christians argue that their religion must be the "true" and "right" one because miracles or supernatural things happen in their religion from time to time. Shamans do not deny this. By people feeding and energizing the pseudo-being "God" (or Allah in the case of Muslims) with their faith, the pseudo-being "God" (Allah) also has a certain real power/might. "Miracles" are very rare events and are a rarity, but they can still happen from time to time.
However, it is certainly not worth believing in the Christian "God"; one has to lose many times more energy to get any energy, or rather, one loses much more energy than one gets.

What is the true God/Absolute?
The religious idea of God is, of course, something utterly evil.
The true God/Absolute is something completely different from religious ideas. In a way, from a certain point of view, man is very distant from the Absolute. We are on planet Earth in very low vibrations (that's why we are very distant from the Absolute) – it is essentially hell here, life on earth is extreme suffering.
It is easier to explain what the absolute is by defining what the highest kind of beings with whom shamans communicate are – the apu beings:
One shamanic scholar describes this being as something far and incomparably greater, nobler, stronger, and more significant than the most perfect and complete idea of a religious "God" of the people on this planet. The greatness of the apu being cannot be described in words, not even in the slightest.

So, if the highest type of being, the apu, is so amazing, what is "greater" than the Absolute?

We humans cannot even imagine what the Absolute is. We are not able to attribute even a single word to the Absolute. We are not able to even tune into the Absolute. We can only try to get closer to tuning into the Absolute (even doing such a meditation is right, necessary and beneficial).
The religious God is completely different. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church and in various theological books, God is described in great detail, e.g. the Holy Trinity and similar crazy nonsense. It is the complete opposite of the true Absolute. The religious God is just a pathetic ghost.

Criticism of religion
A person is disgustingly deceived when entering the church. In the church, they are promised that religion will lead them to "God". In reality, the church not only does not lead a person to the real God but to something explicitly evil, enslaving, something that sucks energy out of a person. The Christian God is just an egregore – nothing more and nothing less.
Religion not only fails to bring people to God, but it also distances them from Him. An atheist is actually closer to God than a Christian. An atheist is on a slightly lower spiritual level than a religious person – that's how it really is.
A religious person should not be rejected – they should be seen as a poor soul – as a victim – they should be seen as a psychiatric patient who is not to blame for their illness. By the way, the fact that a religious person believes in absolutely absurd nonsense is quite reminiscent of a delusional mental disorder (i.e., when a patient believes in some nonsense, e.g., they are absolutely convinced that they are Napoleon).
When I communicate with fanatical Christians, the problem is that they are so manipulated and robotized that they cannot even consider whether some other philosophical concept and worldview could be correct besides the Christian one.
If I argue with strong arguments about what Christian nonsense and stupidity are, Christians tell me to finally stop arguing and they plug their ears. The crux of the matter is that it is very painful for them to listen to arguments questioning their worldview. They have fallen so much in love with the religious egregore, the religious worldview, they have identified with it so much, that their whole world would collapse if they had to give up Christianity. For a fanatical Christian, it is extremely painful to give up Christianity. A fanatical Christian would rather destroy/kill himself than give up religion. It is too painful for him. Giving up Christianity would mean the collapse of his entire world.
In no way is he free, he is a miserable slave of egregors.
