Visualizing Custom Sigils

[Kaz+Aiko]

I recently began creating sigils to aid in my meditation and give me something to focus on, one of them being a custom sigil for my tulpa. In the short time that I've been using this sigil, I've found it easier to visualize her after my meditation session and I feel as though I reach gnosis faster than without the aid of the sigil.

 

My questions/queries are:

 

Does anyone else meditate on custom sigils? If so, is it a sigil you've created yourself or one you've found online?

 

If so, do you feel any noticeable differences? Does it help or hinder you?

 

Also, if you use custom sigils, are they based on your tulpa's name? Or are they based on a general statement about your tulpa? Something else entirely?

 

Thank you for your input.

I can't tell whether you mean this in a metaphysical sense or a symbolic one.

 

Metaphysical would be you believe you're doing some magic or energy thing to strengthen your tulpa by meditating on and energizing this sigil. This is the origin of the term sigil -- a symbol that literally has power. If this is what you mean, this thread really belongs in the metaphysical section.

 

Symbolic would be you're creating a mental association between the symbol and the idea of your tulpa, then meditate on the symbol as a form of tulpaforcing. This can work and I've known people who do it. Most do it in combination with a physical copy of the symbol as a reminder to keep the tulpa in mind. Alternately I could see this being done as a way to help one meditate on / force a tulpa that has no form or that one hopes will choose a form once sentient.

Considering they mentioned gnosis, I'm gonna guess metaphysical, because I didn't understand any of that.

 

I think this would belong in the metaphysics section, since research/Q&A/general discussion all generally goes there if it's not relatively scientific.

What's a sigil?

I used to contemplate tattvas. I keep falling asleep so I stopped doing it. It was supposed to be a way to astral project. If meditating on symbols helps, by all means keep doing it. In my case, I just remembered a way to fall asleep.

Troy: I have located a proper internet definition for you to utilize.

Thank you for moving my thread, I honestly was unaware of where to post this particular topic.

For future reference, anything with even a hint of metaphycics or whatever belongs here, regardless of if it's a question, discussion, or anything else. This subforum is sort of like a quarantine subforum, as rude as it might be to phrase it like that.

It isn't rude. I like to think of us as a breed apart.
