JC, it might be helpful to focus on "an emotion of fear or terror" in your Ra quote. People can become so mentally focused by way of intense emotion that they can actually see things that are not there, that is, they create the things which they see. Witnessing something traumatic may cause extreme mental dissonance, for example, and cause a person to have amnesia or to recreate the memory falsely.
Another example is when a group of people believe something so strongly that is appears to them to be real, and perhaps exaggerated. We all experience this in dreams. One example is around hero worship where a group of people create a strong thought form around the narrative of their chosen hero (guru, political leader, whatever) so that the resonant strength of the corporate belief helps them all focus their mentation in these same thought structures.
On the astral plain, thought forms can be created in these and other various ways of concentrating thought. These thought forms have a way of suggesting mental structure to a person susceptible to them. That is, they suggest one viable way of putting together pieces of experience into a convenient, coherent narrative. It could be peace, love and macrame when one goes to Woodstock or energetic, self-centered rebellion when you go to a Trump rally. The concentrated thought structures help sway you to think along certain lines of thought.
Another example would be people who create subtle guardian beings around themselves or their homes, etc. to ward off "evil spirits." These would be thought forms, for the most part.
Another example is that when some people begin to channel entities, sometimes all they can contact is their own thought-created sense of what a spiritual entity might be. This can become rather detailed if carried on for a period of time.
So, what is lurking in the crust of the Earth? There are many dark, ugly congealed lines of horror-filled thought down there born of ceaseless trauma endured by this poor, abused planet...in my view. This is part of the long term healing of our planetary sphere.
Hope this helps.
