Questions about Tulpas

[rwbyfanz]

Hello!

 

I have a few questions about Tulpas that I couldn't find answers to.

Some of these questions assume that people are on the same page in terms of paranormal stuff so forgive me if this is out of anyone's comfort level.

 

1. How can you determine the difference between a Tulpa and a otherworldly entity? I.E. a demon or spirit.

 

2. If someone creates a particularly powerful or willful Tulpa can the Tulpa dominate and take over a person and make them a slave/servant if the person agrees?

 

Also can a otherworldly entity dominate a Tulpa that suits them and use that as a basis to affect people?

 

3. Can someone with no prior knowledge of someone's Tulpa be able to see/talk to their Tulpa or is that impossible if a Tulpa is a creation of the mind assuming people can't connect to each other's mind?

 

The background to these questions is rather vast so I realize some of these are unusual questions.

 

Thank you for reading!

Since you aimed for answers regarding a paranormal/metaphysical approach on tulpamancy I moved your thread to the metaphysical board.

I would like to welcome everyone's perspectives.

1. Well, I have no metaphysical experience or knowledge on those subjects really, but if I had to guess I'd say the difference lies in the fact that tulpas reside strictly within the mind.

 

2. The enslaving aspect is pretty far fetched, but there are some hosts who will have their tulpa front for extended periods of time, and it's possible that the tulpa would become better at controlling the body than the host.

I don't think an otherworldly entity could dominate a tulpa, but I guess it's possible if you believe in that stuff.

 

3. Not possible. Nobody on this forum (to my knowledge) has had an experience like this. Tulpamancers can't see other people's tulpas. In my experience (and the same probably goes for several others as well) there's nothing metaphysical about tulpas. It's all in our heads.

 

EDIT: I replied to this before it was moved to the metaphysical board.

Hmm... I think you might have a hard time getting many profound answers here.

Not saying people would take offense at your post! Not at all, man. :)

 

It's just that, while we have a metaphysical-stuff-section, this community is generally very scientifically oriented, for the most part.

But I still hope you can find some good answers here.

Feel free to drop by the metaphysical section! Maybe you find some good stuff there for you.

Yeah don't worry about that. You will still get various answers, but as AGGuy pointed out this is rather a scientific community, so it fits better in here and you will need to worry less about people who may take it offensive for "having the wrong idea" about tulpas.

 

I will answer myself aswell:

 

1. A tulpa is a psychological phenomenon in the common perspective , which has nothing to do with magic or paranormality. So there is simply no real connection to demons, ghosts or other spiritual entities, unless you regard said entities as possible non paranormal and psychological phenomenons aswell.

 

2. This sounds somewhat like "Switching", which basically describes the switch of position from tulpa and host. In this case it is the tulpa controlling the body, while the host is sitting in the back, often without knowing what's going on at the outside. Regulary this won't happen forcefully or in a "dominating" way, since a tulpa has normally no reason to hold a grudge against its host. The second part of your question requires a more paranormal view on this. I would say it isn't impossible that an otherworldly entity uses your tulpa , if it isn't impossible that an otherworldly entity can manipulate and use you in the same way.

 

3. Regulary you will be the only one who is able to see your tulpa.

1. How can you determine the difference between a Tulpa and a otherworldly entity? I.E. a demon or spirit.

Najere: I don't know that you can. Most people don't consider their tulpa spiritual anyway.

 

2. If someone creates a particularly powerful or willful Tulpa can the Tulpa dominate and take over a person and make them a slave/servant if the person agrees?

Medea: You can do anything so long as your host agrees with it. So, if hostie said yes, and if they played along, yes. You would also need to be capable of fronting for that particular experience, I believe.

 

Also can a otherworldly entity dominate a Tulpa that suits them and use that as a basis to affect people?

Najere: I can't tell you. No one has any experience with this.

 

3. Can someone with no prior knowledge of someone's Tulpa be able to see/talk to their Tulpa or is that impossible if a Tulpa is a creation of the mind assuming people can't connect to each other's mind?

Najere: Again, no one here has experience with this, not that I have heard of. I have heard of this happening in the soulbond community from time to time, but that place is also more metaphysically inclined than tulpa.info happens to be.

Thank you for your responses

 

I have no experience with Tulpas personally but I am fascinated with how powerful the mind is. I am mainly a "spiritual oriented person" if you will my background is is meditation practices Ond yogi etc.

 

So far I have concluded that the Tulpa cannot do what the mind cannot do since it is a product of the mind. I also see that people are making or using Tulpas to fulfill a need that the mind cannot which concerns me on a personal level.

 

Wish you well!

In more appropriate terms, a tulpa is a mind without a separate body.

And thus, of course, it has all the same limits as a human, in addition to those imposed by no having a body.

I think the answers to your question lie in the design phase of the tulpa. One could design a tulpa to mimic a demon or spirit. One could also design a tulpa that would host a spirit. So it would be difficult to discern what the entity was. However, one could design a tulpa whose job would be to detect spirits, demons, and tulpas. Secondly, one could design a tulpa implant would possess some one. It would be a long, hard, and draining experience. Maybe not worth the effort. For your third question I go back to my tulpa that could detect such things. So in theory all things are possible, but some things are not worth the effort. I hope this gives you somewhat of an answer.
