Any Christian tulpamancers/tulpas here?

Joshua of Nazareth is one of my most beloved heroes. I have studied his teachings extensively and enjoy applying them to my other belief systems.

He was, arguably, the greatest spiritual warrior that has ever lived.

 

I can't tell if there is a different guy called Joshua of Nazareth or a joke about how Jesus' name is actually Joshua but we translate it differently because he's special.

I'm sorry, but, I have a really hard time swallowing that. What other traditions have you studied?  

 

Yeshua was a great person, to be sure, with great insight and the wit to outfox the leading minds of the time, but he barely gave any instruction at all on concretely *how* to tap into spirituality. There are many interpreters and early Bible scholars that do backbends in pointing out how the Catholic's selective version of the Bible actually nixed all the references to the third eye and such out of Jesus' teachings, and if that is true, then I'd give the whole body of teachings a little more slack. There are certainly still references to reincarnation pretty plainly in the KJV text.

But, in all, the detailed and dedicated meditation/yoga schools of the East seem to have produced much happier and healthier people than the destructive colonial consumptive West. The West has now got its materialistic, shallow, obesity-causing culture tentacles into so many other countries. It even infected China with one of its bad ideas that was borne out of throes of social disease: state-run communism. 

 

So either Christianity is really bad at rooting Gluttony, Lust, Greed, and Sloth out of its own social lodgings, or the Devil is indeed, as the Bible says, Prince of the Earth. And the all-powerful 'God' doesn't feel like doing anything about it, just predicting it in Revelations, because he already knew that the model of being he made was faulty. Or by some cosmic law that was even out of his reach, bad is more alluring than good? Like, that's how it had to be, even though through limitless possibility he could make the universe and creatures by whatever rules? I don't even know anymore. 

 

I much prefer the Eastern philosophy of, you can always improve yourself, and help others improve, but you have to reach out and take it instead of throwing up your hands and saying, 'welp, I'm 'saved', nothing more to do now.' 

 

You know what, yeah, I am so done with mainstream Christianity. The Catholic Church doesn't even teach the TEN COMMANDMENTS, for Pete's

sake! (lol)

AND their view of Hell is completely wrong, historically.

If Yahweh wants to come seeking me, here's his open invitation.

Hey now, the Catholic church TEACHES the ten commandments--FOLLOWING them is just another story (HEHE.)

 

Johannes & I grew up in the Catholic church. I was never interested in it at all, so I'd flat-out go to sleep during those things. Everyone thought surely, he'd become a priest, because he was such a goody two-shoes devout child.

 

He grew up spiritually married to his male Tulpa & has a career in some absolutely depraved forms of entertainment. He doesn't talk to me much about it anymore, but seems to feel guilty over losing faith in that system of belief, despite how much I tell him how valid other ways to be are. I wonder what religions out there have bred any stronger a population of self-loathing, self-doubters.

 

Regardless of what I think, he still knows & remembers a lot of those teachings, so feel free to ask my Host if any of you in similar situations have questions/just want to talk. He's not the type to force people to think differently; all he'll do is listen & offer insight from his perspective.

I was resting just fine at this UNGODLY HOUR before my @$$-kissing senses started tingling.

I'm too tired to come up with either a... uh, self-roast or a way to just roast Mikhael for enabling my GIANT EGO but, hhhuhm.

Yeah I'll listen to anyone if anyone wants to talk. Whatever religion/beliefs doesn't matter to me so long as one

 

a) never is smug enough to assume you are always right (like TheGreenQueen said, it's a journey, not a destination to being a Good Egg), &

b) avoids using beliefs as a means of lording moral supremacy & social dominance over the rest of the world.

 

...But I'll talk to you even if you go against that, because

 

(I'm literally falling asleep this is devolving fast Mikhael save me this is humiliating)

...Because no, no he ain't no scrub, a scrub is a guy who can't respect your beliefs

I was raised Christian and have experienced some crazy things like casting out demons, healings, and miracles. I've also studied the world religions and have a different perspective now. So I wouldn't necessarily call myself a Christian anymore even though it's my roots and I still value it.

[Naturegirl1999]

I am Christian, and I have a tulpa

 

Actually I'm agnostic, but my family is Christian so they think I'm Christian

Well I personally am Catholic, and Harley doesn't adhere to a specific religion. We've been talking religion lately to see what she thinks.

Well, looking at it logically it makes sense there's some higher deity that created everything, initiating the big bang and whatnot. I don't know if they did everything kind on purpose to create us earth creatures, or if they just did one thing that caused us. Like you may accidentally cut your finger and cause bacteria to enter your body via the open wound, but not notice the various bacteria entering specifically.

 

Basically stuck between the deity did all this specifically and with us all in mind, or we're too small and insignificant for him to have noticed.

 

And I'm not gonna make her be Christian, I'm just letting her figure the whole God and afterlife deal on her own.

 

Fudge* I hadn't even started thinking about the afterlife yet. I'll just do one philosophical milestone at a time. Sunflower has it so easy cause she was raised in a religion and it makes sense to her and she's satisfied with the answers it gave. Me not so much.

*Sunflower censored this bit

[Naturegirl1999]

Harley, your idea makes so much sense, I don't know if Sally has a religion yet

[LittlePebble]

I know ever forum has a different set up and different hardware for its server. So what my work for one forum may not work for another even though the community would benefit. On the forum Adisc that I am on for my little head space we have sub groups that only show up when you join them. One of them is for us Christians.

.

I would really like to know if I am not the only Christian on here. I am looking for like minded friends due to how it seems like I lost a lot of friends upon deleting my Face book. I would also like to find a mentor, but I am a little picky when it comes to that. If I am to have a mentor I want our relationship to be that of something closer than a brother or sister.

.

As far as this thread goes though please be open minded. It would be cool if you explained what denomination you are and or if you have a denomination that you identify with. I am non-denominational, but I began as a Baptist. I consider God to be very important in my wonder land. Lastly I really want people to understand that because I lost so many friends over my Tulpas that I am just trying to make new ones who I can do fellowship with. The whole point of fellowship is that we can put our differences aside and worship the God who all of us serve.

Hopefully this is ok to link here, but I have started a Discord chat for Christian Tulpamancers. Would any of you Christians like to join?

.

Edit: I got the approval to list it. The Discord group is empty with only me in it because I am hoping that most people who join will begin with those who are on here. The more who join the more likely it will have a booming start. Be sure to have Discord downloaded and installed.
