For those who don't know, Tulpas are beings that are created within your own mind, and have been "created" (supposedly) by Tibetan monks for centuries. They can speak to you and interact with you, and with practice can do things such as take over your body (called switching). Supposedly you can also teach yourself to see your Tulpas. Do you think this sounds too outlandish? Do you think this could have basis in fact? To create one it's a relatively long process (think a few months, and about 200 hours of meditation) to even really begin to create a Tulpa. Is there anyone here who has a Tulpa? I would be very interested to hear about anyone who does have one, and what you guys think about this existing. It sounds very close to DID or Schizophrenia, but there are very distinct differences: For DID to be diagnosed, it must be inherently harmful, of which this is not. Secondly Schizophrenia is mostly hereditary, so it doesn't make sense you can give it to yourself with hours of meditation. Iv heard of people where their Tulpas have talked them out of suicide attempts and such. If you think Tulpas don't truly exist as a separate consciousness as their host, do you think it truly matters that they're imaginary, just so long as they seem real? I'm going to attempt to create a Tulpa (for science), and also want to see if I can advance progress quicker with things like lsd or dissociatives. Would you guys be interested in me documenting my attempt to create one?
