noun

  1. (New-Age, uncountable)A term in contemporary metaphysics indicating psychic energy generated by living beings, including by way of trauma, upon which other entities feed or acquire strength.
    “Loosh is also harvested from the loneliness of animals and humans, as well as from the emotions engendered when a parent is forced to defend the life of its young. Another source of loosh is humans’ worship.”
    “WHAT IS LOOSH? . . . You are in a realm that feeds on your suffering. It’s not personal. It’s industrial. That’s why wars never end. That’s why tragedy cycles. That’s why trauma is normalized, monetized, and immortalized in entertainment. The more you hurt, the more you feel, the more you leak.”
    “Loosh is a hyperdimensional energy given off by the human soul when traumatized. The Archons parasitically feed on it. Think of it as their simulacrum of kundalini.”
