being created from imagination
I remember reading that eastern holy men, either yogis or fakhirs, are supposedly able to create beings from their imagination, eg. you imagine a man wearing a blue suit, and after concentrating and meditating, he will bexcome real and solid, blue suit included.
Does anyone know the term for this power and/or the name for these type of beings?
