Zaya April 9, 2016 April 9, 2016 I was just recently got confirmed as a catholic, but I've done study in various religions and forms of thought/philosophies. I've also privately studied and taken courses in various forms of psychology and ive been a studious disciple of various forms of "metaphysiology" for the past 10 or so years. I can pray the rosary in Aramaic (Syriac), and I've read the Satanic bible. My life's been supersaturated with extremes of both religion and more "grounded" beliefs, and I can honestly say that at the core of Catholicism, it is a good thing. However, it is run and upheld by human beings, much like the one that you had to deal with, Groovy-Guru. People have their own conflicting beliefs, and if he had an understanding of what tulpae are, an understanding like you did, then he wouldn't have said that. Everyone has their own opinions, and the type of answer you get depends upon their views, and the Catholic church is no exception. You'd think that since Catholic priests, deacons, bishops and such are CATHOLIC, they would all have similar views taught by the magisterium, and in theory, they should, but in reality, they don't. The priests and deacons of the Catholic church down the street from my house say that the current pope is a joke and that they don't subscribe to his beliefs at all. A resident female theologian at said church also says that "if sperm enters the bloodstream, it will kill you". I can't make this **** up. Zaya subscribes to no religion, and sports two horns from his head and a thin, spade-ended tail from his rear, and to be honest, no priest, cardinal, or even the pope himself could ever tell me he is evil. He's an angel, and he always will be. Don't let your faith falter because of what a human says.
VforVendetta April 12, 2016 April 12, 2016 Not to spoil anyone's religion, but you would do well to ponder which thoughtforms are yours and which you have been forced to create. Metacognition (pondering your own way of thinking) is a very helpful factor when creating a tulpa, and with life in general. Ermahgerd Ver fer Vernderterr
ThunderClap April 13, 2016 April 13, 2016 If I can call myself a "recovering Catholic" I will just throw myself into that boat. I've been doing a lot of readings of older Catholic literature lately, so I don't even want to call myself a full on Catholic yet until I am finished. I've never really seen it tie in with tulpaforcing much at all, though. I guess the closest thing I could compare a tulpa to would be a guardian angel of sorts, or just the presence of God.

mysonofrageandlove April 21, 2016 April 21, 2016 I was raised Christian, and would still consider myself Christian, although I hold many beliefs that typical Christianity rejects, so it's very much a highly individualized brand of Christianity that I practice. Jamie, on the other hand, is an atheist. Unfathomable. You know, without fathom.

Chi May 4, 2016 May 4, 2016 Zaya subscribes to no religion, and sports two horns from his head and a thin, spade-ended tail from his rear, and to be honest, no priest, cardinal, or even the pope himself could ever tell me he is evil. He's an angel, and he always will be. Don't let your faith falter because of what a human says. Amen to that! I'm kind-of worried that if Chi told her Christian friends about me and that I'm not a Christian, they'd think me "evil" or something. That would make me sad. I hope things progress forward for more Christians in a way that means it's easier for me to be accepted. ~Chanda
PotterandPinkFloyd May 4, 2016 May 4, 2016 I was baptized Catholic and left the Catholic church about four years ago now, but I still consider myself to be Christian. So I'm non-denominational, I guess. Kase doesn't seem to have much of an opinion so I'll label him as agnostic/undecided, and Saoirse loves the songs we sing in church and seems very attentive during the sermons, but that might just be because she finds the music beautiful and the ritual of listening and praying soothing. My faith has nothing to do with my tulpas', and vice versa. They can be whatever religion (or lack thereof) that they choose to be and I will still love them all the same.
TheGreenQueen June 8, 2016 June 8, 2016 I'm . . . more or less Christian? No, actually you know what? I'm not. I sing in a choir, and I think Christianity is a fine religion, and Jesus a fine Master, but really I should face the fact that I doubt the universality of the 'died for our sins' narrative. I'm a spiritualist. I believe there is a force of overwhelming good and love you can tap into. One of my tulpas is Christian, one is Hindu, and one is an atheistic Hindu (i.e., uses various metaphysical techniques but doesn't believe in gods or a higher power). I don't know about the rest.

KarlYoshimura June 19, 2016 June 19, 2016 We are both Christian. In fact, I am proud to say that my tulpa convinced me to disavow my apostasy. She is Protestant, and I am seeking the Orthodox Church. It makes me feel warmth at the fact: I think if Christians sought to repair others to the Faith, no matter their theological or ritualistic disposition, we may be tasked by Providence to heal the many rifts brought upon us by the schisms. We cannot wait for the day Christ returns to lead us all. This life of games and diligent trust, it's the things we do and the things we must. I'm now tired of being cussed, so go sleep forever, end to dust. -Crystal Castles, VANISHED
ThreeSevens June 20, 2016 June 20, 2016 One hundred percent Christian! The proud son of as (soontobe) ordained pastor and exorcist! ... Although she is absolutely opposed to Tulpamancy. Understandably so. I am not ignorant to her position and her need to adhere to the "Better safe than sorry" mindset. I have seen plenty of exorcisms and the things that can cause possession would really shock you. In fact, I will go as far to say that most of the time it is in fact down right unfair... Like did you know you can INHERIT demons from your forefathers? Isn't that terrible? Sadly fear has gripped my mother. I do not believe tulpas in of themselves are evil. (I wouldn't be here otherwise!) But I DO believe that there CAN be demons who masquerade as thoughtforms. Wisdom and faith is vital to protecting our minds. The fact of the matter is we cannot always see what is going on around us and in our heads. Let down your guard for even a second and you are lion food. It is difficult being open minded yet safely keep your guard up at the same time. I know it is an unpopular opinion, but it is how I feel. I won't defend it adamantly. But I won't budge either. Long of the short, Christ is my Lord and Savior. I highly respect him and I am still amazed at just how he always has the right answer. And I am raising Thyme to believe the same. Everything else is up to her, but I want her to understand that it is through Christ along that she and I will be together in the end. I have gone through a ton of heartache due to my mothers stance. But I have never once hated her over it. Now, I have been angry. But I moved past that. Because to a degree I understand what she is getting at. And in the end, if I was wrong and she was right, I know that the grace of God will cover my errors. And I will have to hope that my curse, should this be one, does not pass to my sons. But Thyme confesses Christ is the Lord. A demon will not do this... At least not without a bloody fight. (Making demons scream is the best part about exorcisms!) So I KNOW that REAL tulpas are NOT demons! .... Ok, random rant done. Yes, we are Christians! XD Sorry about that! Like a flower beneath the concrete Pushing up under the weight Put a crack in the back of the pavement And break through into the light of day
TheWisp2864 June 22, 2016 June 22, 2016 I'm Catholic, from a Catholic family, and Anya doesn't come to Church with me, preferring to wait outside. How does that work do you cut half your brain of and leave it by the door :)
