Direct link to the above article, minus discussion on the crosspost on the Tulpas sub

Also, the link below (which u/danl999 posted to public chat) feeds into Alexandra David-Neel's Sprul Pa (meaning "emanation") that physically manifested into our reality:

I've been in there.

A moderator got angry, denied you could do what I do, and had no interest in it.

He wanted a video of Cholita levitating something, or he wasn't interested.

I'm afraid to say, if they haven't discovered that the Tulpas become visible and real, and begin to push on real objects in your home, they're exaggerating what they do.

Consider that with the topic of Tulpas, making up stuff is part of the process.

So if you are out for attention from other people, you can pretty much claim whatever you like.

The topic has a built in flaw for now.

But it seems promising.

I had the same sorts of experiences the times I tried to ask why? and how type questions. In the tulpa group.

Occurred to me (looking through members...etc) That most of them are young. And have a lot of manga based tulpas. (not that there is anything wrong with that).

What exactly does one do with a japanese manga character that wont shut up in your head 24/7? Especially when they all agree that the tulpa is in your head. Period.

To me a tulpa is just a damm thought form. Albeit at a higher energy state/rate than normal useless thought forms. Why you have to watch what you think people. And a bunch of other reasons....lol

I told them that once upon a time, tibetan shaman would create one just for a task. Like going over a few mountains and delivering a message...etc Creating and dissipating them when and as needed.

My understanding could be wrong. I accept that. but a complete lack of any discourse or information except what comes from that one tulpa site and actual tulpamancers (good old D&D lingo there).

And they get really mad if you tell them their concept and information has been "evolved" in the last 5 - 10 years.

Very cultish. I do like watching cults created.

Been watching the BF guy creating his own religion / cult for year. It's interesting.

Anyway I blather again after no sleep.

And somehow Stanford is involved in Tulpa research.

Aren't those the ghostbusters guys, there at Stanford?

Because they want to be "scientific", you get booted out of the Tulpa subreddit, if you suggest Tulpas can push on solid objects.

So honestly.

They're just playing. They aren't actually even interested in the very thing they claim to be interested in.

I'm an amazing cook.

It's because I have a gluten allergy, and have to cook all of my own food. If I eat out, or sample someone else's home cooking, I'm history.

I google any recipe 4 or 5 times, compare what's in common, and design dishes on the spot.

My other family members on the other hand, also consider themselves to be excellent cooks.

But they get angry on hearing there are alternatives to their favorite "recipe", instead of being interested in hearing more.

They cook to get attention, not because they like to cook.

I think the Tulpa folks suffer from that too.

Whatever they are actually interested in, is not Tulpas.

That's always the problem with learning magic. Whatever people say they're interested in, it turns out not to actually be, learning magic.

Stanford is doing psychological studies on some of them. from the little I read about it, sounds more along the lines of MRI functioning, I am guessing in relation to the normal control groups. Making sure their firing and wiring are similar or dissimilar.
Yeah , I noticed that. Most tulpamancers "seem" (im not an expert) like people with already existing social issues revolving around depression an lack of the ability to socialize with others.
But I imagine it's all up in the air with stanford at the moment. Will have to wait for the final paper.

There is a LOT of mental illness in the Castaneda community.

But the same was true of all of the other techniques I tried.

Yoga, Buddhism, Weird Martial Arts.

Is that because things haven't been studied enough, so that more "normal" people are interested?

Or maybe it's about escaping this oppressive position of the assemblage point.

And the people most wanting to do that are the ones suffering more.

It sure isn't silencing the inner voice. Perhaps actively speaking to another entity is not the same as mindless chatter though?

They are certainly perplexing! Like Dan said, our odd cousins from across the prairie...or some such locale.

They seemingly pursue the opposite of inner-silence. And the best way to know what something is, is to find out what it isn't.
