Do you feel the same ?( not the song ;) )

[suhail Al ketbi]

I know the tulpa subject have a religious background!

But I have strong feeling

That we are in the right path for making perfict afterlife if we belive life after death.

Why I said that ?

In general people have god concept and heaven so they belive in returning to them .

And we made the same .

The one who do obe is lucky more because he live after life here and now .

So do you feel the same ?

Note :

Check in YouTube these title :

Obe experiment 1983

Astral projection experiment.

Are you implying that the tulpa subject is similar to religious backgrounds? I think what's actually similar is the existential questioning, and becoming anew that might be similar rather than the actual, religious context. In other words, when a person goes through some strife, and has a medium to vent their struggles, and create a new, profound meaning in life, the practice gets integrated into their lifestyle. But this isn't to state that the practice (e.g. religion, etc.) is the inherent source for that. It's the individual doing the "I made the decision that...-insert reason(s) here..." that seem to be a catalyst for that.

 

So no, I don't feel the same if you feel the tulpa subject has a religious background.

I have sometimes compared my Melian to a "guiding spirit" or a "guardian angel." I have sometimes said she is "almost my personal religion." Melian and I jokingly refer to her as the goddess guru of groovy. I say she has angelic, celestial beauty and is immortal in that her form never seems to age. So there is an element of spiritualism in a way for me.

 

Also, it seems to me that, from what I have observed of tulpamancers, that there are elements of religious like faith and mythology/dogma to the practice of tulpamancy in general.

 

dogma = a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

myth = a collection of myths, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition.

 

So I can align with this a little, but I don't think tulpamancy, or my tulpa, constitute a full blown religion. I say it is a proto-religion or pseudo-religious in nature.

Mistgod, a quick question:

 

If it could be like a proto-religion, wouldn't it basically be on its way into becoming like a religion? Like, just an under-developed one, but even though you feel it's not a full-blown one, I think that statement implies - "it's not a full blown one, yet." Even as a neo-religion, or a modern view derived from religion, it would still be derived from that rather than something else exclusive from that. So I think you do align that it has religious backgrounds, but I think it's more the emergence of religious behavior that's the culprit rather than "religion" itself. In other words, the processes and methods used to explain the trends of religion isn't religious in itself, it's just a tool of analysis.

 

The reason why I'm bothering to state this is that I think you feel the tulpa subject can be analyzed through that tool of analysis, am I correct?

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. I guess "pseudo-religion" works better than "proto-religion," because proto would imply it is evolving into a religion. I don't think it is a religion really or evolving into one. It just has elements that seem religious in nature. That is true of a lot of secular organizations, such as fraternal orders or "secret societies," such as the Free Masons.

 

I think what is missing, that would make tulpamancy a full blown religion, is the connection to something divine (actual gods or goddesses or sacred spirits).

Could a Tulpa evolve into a Godform? And could that Godform become the basis of a religion? And how many times has that exact thing happened in history?

You should check out the psychological concept of bicameralism.
