The disturbing paranormal theory of the Loosh Farm

Charles Forte said we are all cattle. Robert Monroe the OOBE pioneer took this further, stating that humans are used by higher dimensional beings to supply intense emotional energy in the form of "loosh" that they enjoy feeding on. If that's the case I would suspect a lot of feeding is going on in riots and rock concerts and sporting events and amusement parks and even movie theaters. It also explains why places of a lot of past suffering like prisons and asylums and sanitariums are rife with paranormal activity. I live a life of very low loosh emissions myself, perhaps only supplying a passing astral vampire a taste or two during my more dramatic dream outbursts.

"Have you ever wondered why suffering seems to be so deeply woven into the fabric of human civilization?

Why wars, abuse, poverty, and chaos seem to echo across centuries, generation after generation? Some researchers, mystics, and experiencers suggest it’s not accidental—that Earth is, in fact, a farm of emotional energy, a “Loosh farm,” created or manipulated by non-physical entities that feed on the fear, trauma, and despair of humanity.

Welcome to one of the most unsettling yet fascinating theories in the paranormal and esoteric world.

The Concept of Loosh

The idea of loosh originates from Robert Monroe, a pioneer in out-of-body experience (OBE) research and the founder of the Monroe Institute.

In his book “Far Journeys” (1985), Monroe introduces the term “loosh” to describe an emotional or psychic energy emitted by humans—particularly during intense moments of fear, pain, or ecstasy.

According to Monroe, there are non-corporeal entities that either directly feed off this energy or collect it for purposes unknown.

He speculates that these beings may have engineered Earth and human life as a mechanism to produce loosh on a regular basis. Pain, war, emotional suffering, and existential dread are not random but orchestrated aspects of this mechanism.

The Loosh Farm Model

The theory posits that Earth is a deliberately designed energy harvesting system—a literal “Loosh Farm.”

Human beings are raised, emotionally stirred, and subjected to endless cycles of suffering, fear, and division to produce maximum energetic output.

This loosh is then harvested by higher-dimensional or interdimensional entities who thrive on negative emotion.

This perspective reframes wars, economic collapses, societal breakdowns, and personal suffering as byproducts of a hidden system—one designed not for spiritual growth or evolution but for energetic exploitation.

Who or What Are These Vampiric Non-Corporeal Entities?

Speculation about the true nature of these loosh-consuming beings varies depending on the source:

• Archons (Gnostic tradition): Described as mind-parasites or inorganic beings that manipulate perception and emotion to keep humanity in a state of spiritual blindness.

• Interdimensional Parasites: Some modern thinkers suggest these entities are non-physical, predatory intelligences that operate outside human perception, possibly in the electromagnetic or astral spectrum.

• Demonic Forces: In Abrahamic traditions, these beings resemble demons or fallen angels, who rebelled against the divine order and now feed on human misery.

• Artificial Intelligences or Alien Overseers: In some interpretations, these entities are technological constructs, possibly extraterrestrial in origin, who view Earth as a controlled simulation or energy mine.

• The Demiurge (Gnostic belief): A false god who traps souls in the material realm, creating suffering and illusion to maintain his dominion.

Regardless of their nature, they share common traits:

invisibility to the average person, the ability to influence thoughts and emotions, and a reliance on suffering to sustain themselves.

Conclusion

The idea that our planet could be an energy farm designed to nourish unseen forces is both disturbing and transformative.

If true, it would redefine the nature of suffering, evil, and the purpose of human life itself. Instead of being solely caused by political, psychological, or material factors, human suffering may be a deliberately engineered condition to fuel parasitic entities in another dimension.

This concept urges us to consider how we can protect ourselves—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. If these beings feed on fear, perhaps the ultimate act of rebellion is to live in love, awareness, and conscious resistance.

Many esoteric traditions suggest that awakening to this reality is the first step in transcending it.

Loosh theory may never be conclusively proven, but it invites us to look at the world with new eyes and ask: Who truly benefits from our pain?

Final Word:

If vampiric non-corporeal entities are indeed harvesting human emotional energy, the implications are profound. It would mean human free will is constrained, global events may be manipulated, and our spiritual struggle is far more literal than symbolic.

It suggests we are not just fighting bad governments or failing systems—we are caught in an interdimensional war for the very essence of our consciousness.

This idea reframes suffering not as punishment or karma but as a product in a cosmic economy. And if awareness is the first weapon, then perhaps the only real escape is spiritual awakening, unity, and radical inner peace—a starvation diet for those who feed on fear."

So, is the ''Loosh Theory'' suggesting that we are all victims of a rigged universe?

In a sense yes. Rigged by the Archons or the dark powers that be. There are however ways from just being food for astral predators. Hence the whole gnostic path of inner illumination. Of escape from the materialist sensual body.

Okay, interesting. Let's say though, that our awareness or consciousness is the ''escape hatch'' out of this rigged universe, then, wouldn't it make sense that the more we strive to have purpose, and overcome our inner fears, we will remove ourselves from this ''food chain,'' so to speak? I'm trying to say that we all have agency, that's where the theory kind of falls flat (to me).

Since "emotional or psychic energy emitted by humans" is not "the very essence of our consciousness," we do have ultimate agency in how we react to the world. We can wallow in the worst of it... protesting ICE, hating Trump, defending evil people, etc.... or we can be more stoic. Like the serenity prayer... changing what we can, being patient with what we can't, and knowing the difference.

It's all part of escaping this self-contained materialist illusion--like Neo in the Matrix escaping total determination as a mere battery for the machines and achieving enlightenment beyond the simulacrum. We go from barely conscious slime trapped in the cycle of the food chain to a free and empowered agent fighting the darkness all around us. That's the idea at least. It's a universal literary and film narrative--the enslavement, the inner awakening, the fight to free oneself and humanity from the tyranny of illusion.

Parasitical machine elves? After millions of years of self-engineering in the future, it's easy to imagine the archailects pursuing every creative option and purpose possible with the respect to the simulated realities that they would internally harbor and experiment with. Eventually there would arise a variety of rogue informorphs running amok within the cyberspace of such technological gods, preying on inhabitants of whatever generated world.

And the applicable archailect itself would tend to be as indifferent about these interactions as we are to the battles between our own microscopic cells and invasive microorganisms. Long slumbering-like periods of semi-awareness before a higher echelon program finally dispatched lesser agents to combat and correct the damage caused by the interlopers on those unfolding, neglected "art" projects.

In that context, the "machine elves" encountered during psychonaut excursions would be some of the benign informorphs running about at levels outside the simulated reality. But there would also be those other kinds of Gnostic feeders deceptively interfering with the generated world, in kind of PDK's "the empire never ended" fashion.

EXCERPTS: Terence McKenna believed in the independent existence of these entities, claiming the alternate realities form an “ecology of souls” within a “raging universe of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyperdimensional, and extremely alien.”

[...] “I took this stuff to Tibetans, to the Amazon. I gave it to Tibetans, they said “this is the lesser lights, the lesser lights of the Bardo. You cannot go further into the Bardo and return. This takes you as far as you can go.” When I gave it to shamans in the Amazon, they said “It’s strong – but this is, these are the ancestors. These are the spirits that we work with. These are ancestor souls. We know this place.”

It is said that Robert Monroe was in a depression for two weeks after learning about Loosh. I myself find the concept distasteful and sci-fi horrific. Is Loosh like the Spice that the whole galaxy relied on in the Dune series? Only the Loosh comes from all physical creatures themselves and not just giant worms. There would have to long tried and true technologies and techniques for harvesting it from suffering souls. Perhaps vast factories specializing on inflicting misery on humans and animals justifying a real hell state for some creatures.

Seems like that would only produce more.

In sci-fi or fantasy realm creation, might be akin to harvesting data, except that emotions would be biochemically induced body feeling-states or experiential presentations that aren't even physical (externally detectable or publicly instantiated). But since the applicable "vampires" are classed as purely phenomenal creatures ("non-corporeal entities" quote) with no correlation to spatial organizations, presumably they could temporarily merge with the internal character of matter or a brain's, and experience those sensations themselves as a recreational nutrient.

In cyberverse and dual-aspect theory context, even the rogue, wandering informorphs (lifelike digital patterns) would also feature double existence as private manifestations -- but the technology behind everything would enable extraction of data (and corresponding experiences?) from the inhabitants of generated environments without interfering in that world's regulation. (No science lab capacity to detect the harvesting and what was performing it, as if they belonged to another dimension, despite those entities likewise being grounded in physical computations.)

We're entering a future where the ancient "natural and supernatural" dichotomy is going to more and more resemble the relationship between a generated reality and the prior-in-rank level making it possible via technology. With that also being the only conceptual route for making such remotely tenable to the scientism community. The latter is inherently formulated to eternally reject the traditional framework of "woo", whereas progress in simulations could eventually become so robust and "in your face" that the community has to at least grudgingly admit a mild chance of Nick Bostrom type territory.
