Are tulpa a problem in Christianity?

[Legreentea]

Hello, I'm still a newcomer before trying to make Tulpa. First, let me just clarify that this is translated by a translator - my mother tongue is not English, and also my English is not good.

First of all, let me state that I am a Christian. I believe in the Lord's commandments and his love. However, I am still religiously immature, so I am not good at interpreting the Bible or seeing the world as the Lord wishes. I would like to hear your thoughts (mainly from the standpoint of Christians - this is not discrimination, this is a discussion within the Christian faith).

I think creating a Tulpa is what forms a new ego. So it's almost like bringing a new life into this world, is there anything wrong in Christianity? Am I allowed to do that?
Two people living in me, and can he be saved as a single human being?

I'm curious about your views. I'm serious about this.

The short answer is that tulpas are a purely mental phenomenon and nothing is sacrilegious about them (supposing you don't try to make a tulpa of God or Jesus anyways),

but,

if you talk about them to random Christians they'll just assume you're talking about demons. They're not a very open-minded community, so probably keep tulpas to yourself

 

A practicing Christian can still give their own experiences/opinions though

I was baptized and raised in a (relatively) religious family and I do have some religious tendencies from time to time, but I would not call myself a Christian. That being said, I entertain the idea of people having souls (in the christian interpretation of this word). I believe, or at least want to believe, that I have a soul, as does my tulpa, Alice. And my soul is the essence of me, while her soul is the essence of her. The soul is what really matters and what defines a person through time and space. At the same time, I view our physical body as merely a place that we inhabit together. It's just a way for a soul to live a life here on this Earth. So I don't think that there is anything wrong or contradictory about living with a tulpa. It's just two souls inhabiting one body. But I do emphasize again that I am not a practicing Christian, so my beliefs may be irrelevant to you.

I come from a Catholic family and upbringing, and I consider myself a Christian.

Doctrines that claim to explain with reason and truth what is and what is not correct are true. But the reality is that their perspective is fixed on themselves and their mindsets. I decided to think for myself, and yes, I believe in loving others as yourself and being Christian. The rest is all contextual and historical for a people in a given history, and people nowadays want to take things out of context. So I think like this: If God loves me and gave me the full capacity to use my imagination and create art, tools, stories, why not tulpas? Seriously? Am I hurting anyone? No. So, in truth, I'm honoring God, loving myself, and using the gifts He gave me. I won't let anyone outside try to control my mind. If God thinks this is wrong, He will personally intervene. I don't need intermediaries. People, in their ignorance, will call them demons, but most of them don't even understand what demons are. To begin with, a human creation is not a demon (in the context of the fallen angels created before humans who hate humans). It's a human creation, period. - Land

 

Whenever I go my headmates will be with me because they are inside me. So if I am a imortal being so they are.

first, you're Christian, but you can't dicide that your tulpa is or isn't a Christian...

It's pretty difficult to make your tulpa not be influenced by your literal divine experiences or, alternatively, by the lack of them.

I don't think I know of a single case where two headmates had different religious beliefs...

 

[Luminesce]

I have definitely known systems where only the host or tulpa was christian, and especially ones where one system member was more invested in their religion than the others

[fennecfoxx]

I am Christian, and so are my tulpas.

 

We used to believe the philosophy that members of a system are distinct minds sharing a brain. However, we no longer believe that. From our point of view, headmates are distinct identities/personalities within one mind. Tulpamancy is, therefore, an illusion. It's a wild illusion where "I" can effectively cease to be while "someone else" controls my body and I experience "their" conscious thoughts and feelings instead of "mine"... but, at the end of the day, it's just complicated mental gymnastics, and my tulpas are extensions of myself, or partitions of our mind, or however you want to word it, that I've learned to perceive as "not me". We're one entity, with one mind and presumably only one soul, that perceives itself as multiple.

 

Ours is a minority view, but it fits our experiences as a system far better than our past attempts to convince ourselves we're all fully real, fully distinct people ever did.

 

Even if creating a tulpa is creating life... so what? Is that not what a couple does when they conceive a child?
