Tulpa Forming.. a highly anticipated psych experiment!

     From what I understand, and by no means do I fully understand the concept, a "Tulpa",not a pupa, or chalupa, or other variance my peers have taunted me with, is a vivid hallucination created by disciplined meditation and months and months of dedication. It plays on ALL of one's senses, the basic five, and beyond, engaging your sense of smell, taste, touch, hearing, sight, etcetera. [note: there are NO drugs required, or even recommended for tulpaforming!]

     This hallucination can be any object, person, animal, plant (whether animate or inanimate, mythological, based in reality, or  otherwise) creation that the human psyche can possibly fathom. Like I mentioned before, it plays on the senses, so if one wants a furry white lemur that speaks your native tongue, and smells of blueberries, then by all means... have at it. Being a hallucination of your own imagination, only you can sense it. It can't harm anyone, and no one can harm it, at least not physically. Though it emanates warmth, if you so choose it to, and has texture, your hand will pass right through it. Everyone who encounters it will have in No way actually encountered it. It will be like the Patrick Swayze to your Whoopi Goldberg. Borderline Schizophrenia? More induced if anything.

     One theory is, that by meditating on every discernible detail, an individual may trick the brain into believing that the tulpa in mind actually exists. The longer you focus on the image, the more vivid the image becomes, so you get out of it what you put in. Relatively, a couple months to trick your mind into believing that there is a tangible entity of your design, is not that long of a process. There are all kinds of "rogue tulpa" campfire horror stories rolling around the internet. Here is one of the sites that have been but little more than a guide to infer upon:

Tulpa Creation & Personality Guide

     The Latter two should be read in respective order. I did not mention this before, but the Tulpae are Sentient. They allegedly have free will, ulterior motives, and an unpredictable agenda. They start out as your creations, but evolve their own distinct features. At some point during formation, they have enough of your mental resources to create their own intelligence, but remember, they cant hurt you... I don't think.. The only theory I can apply to this is that, perhaps, the Tulpa adopts the sub-conscious, or at least, becomes an incarnation of the creator's sub-conscious, simply functioning through the channels of the temporal lobe, or hypothalamus region of the cerebellum, though its probably a wiser action to disregard any knowledge I attained in Psychology 101. I technically failed that class...

     

I have not yet started this venture, but after this is posted, I will have already begun. I'll do my best to document my experiences. Using my training in Meditative practices, hopefully I can refine the process, but by no means do I want to rush this.
