G|d30n May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Sure is butthurt in here. But taking a word out of context and applying it to an entirely new idea is not evolution. See the traditional and contemporary definitions of irony, the traditional and contemporary (contemporary in this case being hundreds of years old) uses of fewer versus less, and the standardization of spelling only in the past couple centuries to show that you're simply imagining whatever strict rules you think are in place about how language evolves. The point is simply that it does, and if a word is used and understood by enough people, then it's correct. Progess on my tulpa, Lauren. Lauren's survey and stylometric test.

TNSTAM May 31, 2012 Share May 31, 2012 Uhh, we stole the word servitor and gave it our meaning the same way that buddhist tulpas are different from ours. Maybe you should listen to the buddhists more often. http://i50.tinypic.com/fup2eh.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte May 31, 2012 Share May 31, 2012 Maybe you should listen to the buddhists more often. http://i50.tinypic.com/fup2eh.png You realize not trusting your tulpa in the first place will cause you to require killing it every so often, right? This is kind of the span of the power of suggestability. This hot empty painting should be locked and towed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial May 31, 2012 Share May 31, 2012 Maybe you should listen to the buddhists more often. http://i50.tinypic.com/fup2eh.png None of the people here who have developed a tulpa and maintained it for a long time have had any problems, at least none that I know of.

Like Mercurial says, the people here with long-time tulpae have had no "problems." It seems unlikely to me, anyway. Maybe Tibetans just rebuild their tulpae for a more spiritual reason.

BrassAndBeauty June 1, 2012 Share June 1, 2012 Maybe you should listen to the buddhists more often. http://i50.tinypic.com/fup2eh.png I think that you're making a rather large presumption there. If your tulpa is around long enough to become that complex, I don't see why it would require being reabsorbed. You obviously care about it to sustain it for that long, so why would you decide to kill it? DID YA MISS ME?

Phalanx June 1, 2012 Share June 1, 2012 Maybe you should listen to the buddhists more often. http://i50.tinypic.com/fup2eh.png Actual question: is this in any way plausible? If a tulpa is supposed to be built on your subconscious, it should be occupying networks that you wouldn't usually have direct access to anyhow. How could absorption cause that to affect your own characteristics? Stage: early personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronas June 1, 2012 Share June 1, 2012 Even if I end up going crazy or dying because i have a tulpa for too long, it´s not like my life is worth anything. So I dont give a damn about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
