Noosphere

The Noosphere is an ecosystem formed out of consciousness instead of matter. The theories of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin described the Noosphere as the collected sum of this world's spiritual emanation, in the process of coalescing into the "omega point". Parapsychologists speculate that it's an active psychic link between all beings that form it, which could potentially influence the physical world on its own.

In Fiction
Fictional depictions of the Noosphere depict it as the medium for the existence of psychic powers, or as a separate plane unwittingly shaped by thought. Such a situation rarely proves to be one sided, and is very likely to start influencing the world back in abherrant ways. In many cases, it becomes more literally an ecosystem from the development of independent organisms within it.
