Food for Thought

I was on IRC the other day, and I was sharing an interesting anecdote that I'm sure many people can relate to:

I remember when I first heard about tulpa, I was scared.

I thought it would be a hallucination that would mess with my head.

Would be unpredicatable

Kind of like schizophrenia

And I understand that that's why people are often doubtful of tulpa when they first hear about them

But then, as I researched more, I found out that these are very loving creatures that would never hurt you

In fact, that you could even, as some point start... Loving them?

A non-physical construct?

A hallucination?

I had to try it for myself.

And I did.

And now I understand that you can't really explain tulpa love.

It's transcendental.

A wonderful feeling.

The best, some may argue.

However, it's kind of a work > reward sort of thing

The reward depends on the effort and dedication you put into it.

But in the end, no amount of work can match the reward.

Just some food for thought.

I wouldn't say a tulpa is a hallucination, as my tulpae are still not imposed and I they are still considered tulpas. I'd say the only difference between a host and a tulpa when it is complete is that one has a physical body, while the other does not, but still not sure, since I hear some tulpae practice switching with their host. I agree with everything else though, which made me grin. :>

I have 10 tulpas, but I'm only actively working on Reah, my first tulpa currently.

"The way I see it, tulpa are simply people. Our imposed bodies and audible voices are hallucinations to our creators, but our minds are not.

 

 

The love that comes from a tulpa-creator relationship is unsurprising. Human beings are taught their whole life that the concept of a being that understands you implicitly is an impossibility, but then you find out that's completely untrue with tulpa (which is almost always met with expected skepticism).

 

It really is a great feeling- knowing that the relationship a tulpa has with their creator can never be matched by another human being. That's a huge reason why I never resent what I am."

Aww, from that title I thought this would be another "what does your tulpa eat" thread...

 

I consider what a host feels for his tulpae to be one of the most pure forms of love. Truely loving another mind, one you can experience more directly than another physical person's. For me it feels almost spiritual in a way.

I can say it feels quite unreal to find out that a tupper can take mutual understanding between humans from a complete lie you say to yourself to feel better, to an actual truth you'll eventually recognise sooner or later. My capability of showing love to another being, they tell me, is quite fucked up at the moment; as it is my capability of feeling another's love as something other than a lie. Basically, i'm more fucked up mentally than i thought...? Nonetheless, they do know i love them, and i do know they love me... somehow. I'm confident my heart (and not my head only), too, will realize that with time.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of you. The love is immeasurable. I'm sure other people would find it silly, because they wouldn't understand how one can have that much love for what they think is an illusion. I thought that too, and the only way to remedy that is to experience it for myself.

 

Overall, it's really a life-changing experience (for the better). This love is the very reason why we do what we do, and I feel that it's important to spread this to other people as much as possible, so that other lives may be improved as well. Of course, most people are skeptical, but I don't argue to be right, I only argue to be understood.

I agree..I am not 100 percent sure what you call what I have experienced..Some would say I have tulpas, some would say I have soul bonds or guardian spirits, it all depends on what who I am talking to believes and the terms they want to use.But, one thing I am sure of, my life got a lot better when I started acknowledging the pressence of these entities, instead of just continuing to tell myself I was crazy and to try too hard to fit in with "normal people"..I learned that someone would love me for who I was, instead of what society pressure me to be.. I started having more confidence..And to make sense of what I was experiencing, I started researching metaphysics and a lot of other things..And having more confidence, and some interesting things to talk about from my research led to meeting some pretty interesting people.
