Tulpae - a Paradigm Change?

[Bluesleeve]

So, you always hear about paradigm shifts, end of the world 2012 and the "zeitgeist".

 

Now we are here on Tulpa.info, a new community which is indeed sounding the bell for a new kind of thought. Through our mental capabilities, we try to improve our lives. But is this really new?

 

I was able to speak to several people, in real life and on the internet, who believe, that Tulpae were the normal state in the "old world" and that every person had this kind of companion(s). Over time this had been forgotten, and societal taboos were forcing the one-brain-one-person ideal; everything else was considered insane.

 

Basically, what we are doing, is going "back to the roots" and reestablish the normal state of mind - trying to live in harmony with the unconscious. (Which is not the case nowadays)

 

What do you think of this theory?

Holy shit it's a total mindfuck, since the zeitgeist addendum or whatever was all about the rise of new thought what if we did it unknowingly and are just following the ways of old naturally maybe it would be embedded within us naturally as human?

 

Since we have people suffering from diseases that don't even seem like they should be such things like ADHD or depression, who knows. But it is indeed a very interestin topic.

There was talk of Tulpa being able to be created though religious prayer and the like. Are they meaning people thought they were in constant connection with their god or are we talking about the Tulpa that we see as companions? I guess what I'm getting at is did they have a religious connection? Just interested.

...that Tulpae were the normal state in the \"old world\" and that every person had this kind of companion(s). Over time this had been forgotten...

I don't think so. Mayby some people, many more than nowadays, knew about and had tulpae. But if evryone would have one, there will be more readable signs leftover, in remains of their societies. But You know, I'm openminded, I don't say no.

I think this is a kind of viable theory supporting the emergence of gods, ancestral worship, ect. We have evidence that people claiming to be talking with gods are really only talking with their Tulpae, so when you consider the origination of gods I think it's possible they developed from Tulpae. Rather, the need for a unified Tulpae as opposed to polytulpaism. The need the for order out of chaos, if you will, which was a pretty common philosophical need in the ancient world.

[Irish]

Well it is common human nature to identify everything and understand 'why things are done like this' if you think about it Socrates and all of them probably weren't the only ones thinking the same thing, probably hundreds like him around the world at the time thought the same thing but he was just focused on.

For this you'd have to assume that the entirety of religion is nothing but people hearing spooky head voices, whereas it's much more than that. Consider the fact that most believers don't actually hear God, nor do they ever expect to.

Basically, this is trying to "reestablish the... mind - to live in harmony with the unconscious." Making a necessarily unconscious part of yourself into something more tangible. However, I don't think this is normal at all. The simplest thing it could be broken down to is a "brain hack." While I have no doubt that tulpae were discovered before FAQ was born, it isn't natural. Forcing your mind into projecting something that isn't there doesn't sound normal to me. But, it is an interesting theory, though in the end I'll have to agree with Orq, because the whole thing would have been documented in some way (besides some people who "saw and spoke to" "God")

[FAQ man]

I beg to differ on the fact that it isn't natural. Humans are but animals. Literally everything we do is natural by extension. Youre confusing social norms with what's natural and what's not. And while I accept that religion would still be relevent without the tulpa effect, obviously it has contributed some. Also, consider the fact that I've been on this earth since it was created. Nothing happened before I was born.

There might be some truth in your hypothesis. Check this out:
