firedusk March 5, 2014 Share March 5, 2014 Is this tulpa related? anyone else got anymore info? 'So, a while ago while on.. well.. let's call it vacation, I met a dude. He was extremely nice, very rich, and slightly insane. I mean paranoid as hell. For all the purposes of this post let's call him Tom. Anyways, this Tom was scared out of his mind that "they" (he never specified who he meant) were going to find him and he'll 'never see the sun again" (his words). I was suspecting either schizophrenia or him pulling some sort of awesome robbery and he was simply afraid of getting caught. It was explain his wealth at least. Anyways, he was an interesting character to say at the very least, but this is not really about him. He taught me a kind of weird and cool meditation. It involved imagining a garden and doing specific tasks inside of that garden to accomplish different goals (better focus, relaxation, etc). I won't bore you guys with the details of this meditation, but it involved expanding the garden every time you meditated. Tom told me that if I keep doing this meditation that one day I will be able to do awesome things. I didn't really think much of it though.'

Kiahdaj March 5, 2014 Share March 5, 2014 It doesn't seem tulpa-related in any way. Just seems like symbolic meditation. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobillis March 5, 2014 Share March 5, 2014 While creating a garden thoughtform is one of the most basic meditation practices in the starting steps of making a tulpa in the Tibetan tradition, it is not related to tulpas so much as a learning exercise along the way. Indeed, it is the Tibetan and 'magical' belief that you can do more with a garden thoughtform over time. One well known application is a "Memory Palace" (Roman system of Loci) which can improve your memory, and a garden thoughtform can be the basis for such. So, a system of teaching once associated with making tulpa, now fallen out of favor in tulpa making of the current century. See also: Shui's comments on Thought-Forms (by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater). Please consider supporting Tulpa.info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie March 5, 2014 Share March 5, 2014 See also: Shui's comments on Thought-Forms (by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater). Also, earlier in that same post, there is a bit about a garden meditation from a more modern book. Not sure how old that practice is, or if it's the same thing firedusk is talking about though.
