Tulpamancy

This is something I find extremely intriguing and being a creative writing class where we are encouraged to explore our minds and thoughts I'm curious to see what others have to say about it. Please skim over the link at the bottom of the post (first paragraph is all you really need but if you read it goes into more detail later).
 This is where the response comes in, tell me if you were to create a "Tulpa" how would you create them what personality traits or if you think it's crazy voodoo shiz then explain those feelings  as well. Here's a optional challenge, CREATE ONE! At the end of the year I'm curious to see if anyone actually attempted and what their results were!

  2. This is making me think and think and think and it's hurting my head. It's not that I don't have an open enough mind its just that I have come to a stop at what this actually means. How is this different than having Dissociative Identity Disorder?

    1. iin a sense its not, it's the same but you mold the personality in the process of creating a tulpa you describe it's persnality things it likes things it doesn't how it reacts to this or this, you say yo react like tho to this or your smart or stubborn etc

  5. I can't even wrap my mind around this. How can something of no extreme entity or physicalness be just as human as a human being? I agree with Torres on this one. There is not a yes to be found about this idea.

    1. perceiving things is just your mind interpreting signals such as touch or sounds are just vibrations that your mind strings together and gives meaning to so to generate those signals or responses is totally plausible your just playing a trick on your brain essentially (this is only for physically perceiving your tulpa!!)

    2. IM playing the trick on my brain? I think it may be my "Tupla" playing the tricks...

  8. We need some more serious posts, not just people saying that they don't understand the concept. Be specific!

    1. OK my head literally cannot comprehend this post, I need u to explain this better, not everyone can comprehend this so if u want us to respond the way u want to tell us what the heck this is in a better way

    2. I think if you really want to get some sort of doucumented grasp on it do some research into multiple personality disorder and things of the like so you can see how the brain is capable of making that then think of it like you are crafting traits of the other personality, it becomes much more realistic after that

  9. I'm seeing a Tulpa as an Alter-Ego or a second self conscience. Like two people in one. I mean, I have an alter-ego. There's 3-6-D, the rapper who loves every single one of his fans and ignores haters. Then there's the SLIGHTLY Unstable Alter-Ego of 3-6-D, named Moxcity; who most people don't like and makes all who look down on him pay by taking some drastic revenge e and will do his absolute best to make you suffer so you decide to either shut up or keep talking smack and suffer even more...Okay, maybe Moxcity is EXTREMELY Unstable. But still, you get the idea. It's ONE PERSON, with a second self conscience.

    1. I see how it can be interpreted that way but a tulpa isn't another part of your self its another sentient being using personality traits you gib=ve them in creation and then they grow of that. You say be loving to others she he or it takes that and expands upon it be loving to others except him or her or be loving to others when it meets these standards but good reply better then any of torres's

    3. Aha. I have the best reasoning for this. This is, as both 3-6-D and Moxcity would put it, AAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!!

  12. I agree that there can be multiple sides of a person, but these are just emotions. I do not believe that there is some driving force that "is an internal personality separate from your own, but just as human". I feel like someone with very little scientific or psychological knowledge created this concept which seems complicated and mind blowing. To me, what he is TRYING to say is that people have various versions of themselves and they act differently in different situations. This is common amongst everyone. We don't have some "tulpa" making us act this way. This is just how people act.

    1. It wasn't rested by some psychology major or anything like the its been around for e=centries the link i posted in reply says its origin; its different from emotion because your emotional response to a situation has a lot to do with your personality how you perceive a situation your tulpa perceive it differently based on how they develop

    3. It sounds like ur describing an empathy in a way, which they take emotions from people without even knowing. So idk

  13. the Tulpa is probably like a russian nesting doll. As soon as you discover one level of tulpamancy a smaller more complex level of tulpamancy is revealed.

    1. i hear a lot of jokes and put downs directed at me but no evidence

    2. I half agree with this, but that makes it seem like this is the same thing as Multiple Personality Disorder.

    3. I think thats the best real life acceptable caparison to it because its something that has been documented many times and from many credible sources and is some aspects they are the same but they don't try to hinder your own existence the co-exist

    1. Many people do this on the internet its called quote mining, you deprive statements of vital context the paragraph is as follows

      "In recent years, a subculture has formed online who create hallucinations or imaginary friends which they call tulpas. Most such people do not believe that there is anything supernatural about tulpas. A number of web sites explain the methods people use to create tulpas of this sort.[14][15][16][17]

      Chidambaram Ramesh, an Indian author and researcher, has mentioned in his book "Thought Forms and Hallucinations" that the creation of thought forms and other mental entities like Tulpa etc., is the result of holographic mind processing"

      Which i have stated previously your using your own mind to create another mind which is what is referred to as holographic mind processing

  15. Hey Torres, you said that Tulpa's don't Exist but Alter-Ego's do. If Tulpas don't exist, why does that website exist? Is Tulpa even a word?

    2. So it's not just me who thinks that "Tulpa" is crazy word? Wow. Didn't see that coming.

      Delete
    3. Noun: Person place thing or idea
      tupla=idea
      tupla=noun
      the word itself has no influence on what actually is if people hated things just because the word was new to them or sounded different then you couldn't learn a different language or even learn your own Tree is a silly word but it means tree

    1. its not an alternate you, they developed just as anyone else would, there personality is often shaped by events they observe in your life or how you interact with them

  17. I don't fully understand the concept of the tulpa and frankly don't believe such a thing exists. Where is the science, facts and truth behind this 'tulpa'? Is it just a made up theory or is this a true and actual thing that is in all of us? If, however, this mumbo jumbo is real some personality traits I would want mine to have is that it is honest, understanding, caring, brave and adventurous. These are traits I like in people around me and would like more in my life.

    1. For proof I guess you have to decide what's considered real which posses an iterations question a Tulpa as proven by many first hand accountants can be see as kind of self imposed halucinations that you precieve as real if you can touch interact and speak with with does that make it real to you? Things like multiple personality disorder or even halucinations all proven phenomenon of the brain; if you use your own perception as what you define as real then yes, and thanks for actually answering the question you might be the only one who did xD

  18. I agree with Danny that this, to me, is completely ficitional and unrealistic. However, traits I would like to see in it would be strong, caring, intellectual, creative and inspiring.

  19. Well in all honesty I wouldn't want to create a tulpa because the idea kinda freaks me out. I think I understand it, but I don't like it, so I don't want to create a personality for one. It just seems so fictional because you have to "create" one, and maybe people just think they have one.

    1. Well even if it's just thinking they have one if it's that real to them wouldn't tht make it real? Even if just to them? I get what ur saying if you don't want because the idea freaks you out but does it freak you out cause you don't think they can exist or because they might exist?

  21. Go to YouTube and watch the Tulpa creepy pasta cx

  22. So this is like an imaginary friend, then? If we give it a form and a voice other than ourselves. But could this not also be the Id or Superego we possess as humans? And what about Lizzie McGuire's little cartoon rants? That sounds like this too.

    But if I do say so myself, I THINK I have a tulpa, maybe? Not certain. It is a mentally stimulating concept and I agree we should take this more seriously but then again I personally don't want to go too in depth with this. I'm almost afraid of what my mind can create with this.

    1. After doing research of my own, it is more like we are giving shape to our consciousness and speaking to it.

    2. But our consciousness already has a name. It has three names. The Id, Ego, and Superego.

      Delete
  23. I agree that we can have multiple sides, but as stated already those are emotions or have a multiple personalities disorder. I think that this is like the belief of reincarnation where some people believe in it an others don't. Tulpa could be related to possibly a religion of sorts but doesn't mean it's real, it could be a myth
