Tulpae Essay

[Snoopiiz]

Hey everyone I have a question.

 

I'm doing an essay on Tulpa. And i'm wondering how I should introduce the subject, what is the best way to drag the reader into my essay?

 

I was thinking putting the reader into the Tuppers shoes. But how would that work?

[Onicron]

Some ideas:

A brief explanation of the history of tulpas

"What is real?" (eyes see nothing, ears hear nothing, nose smells nothing. All of the senses are an illusion manifested inside one's brains)

Differences between schitzophrenia, DID and tulpas

Explaining the general method of making one

Explaining imposition

If it's a psychology essay, explaining possession and switching. If not, propably best to leave them out.

yeah

If you use this as part of your essay, I suggest you sidetrack into the Philosophical school of Classical Skepticism. There you can find some very well defined arguments that have a way of shattering our traditional ways of forming beliefs, and therefore, defining real and fake.

 

Even some of the counter arguments can be conductive for the argument for Tulpas. I personally believe that Rene Descarte's, "Cognito ego sum" can, after a bit of analyzation and building, provide a strong ground for a defense to stand on.

I actually just read about it. A truly fascinating theory.

I am probably going to put that in the last paragraph though, sort of as a support for the entire essay.

Yea i started off my essay by putting the reader into the shoes of the Tulpa.

I also brought up the differences between Schizophrenia, and Hallucinatory Drugs.

 

I will bring up DID as well thank you.

 

And no it's not a psychology essay, it is actually an english essay.

Were supposed to explain a concept, In-depth.

[Snoopiiz]

So this is what I have so far. Tell me what you think.

 

 

 

The Power of the Mind

 

What if you were a figment of someone elses imagination?

 

You had access to they're mind. Everything in they're subconcious.

 

They're perception, they're memories, they're likes and dislikes.

 

Imagine you were they're best friend. You would both enter a world

 

the host created in his mind, and do all the things you dream of

 

doing. But you're just a hallucination, super-imposed into the hosts

 

environment. The host cares for you, and loves you. You are his

 

Tulpa.

 

Some people take the concept of a Tulpa for granted. They

 

say it's impossible. They say that there is no way to create an

 

"imaginary friend". On the contrary all my skeptics. If there is no

 

such thing as imaginary thoughtforms, then does that mean that

 

Schizophrenia is fake? Does that mean that the hallucinatory drugs

 

people take have no effects? Surely DID (Dissociative Identity

 

Disorder) must not be real either? I believe there is a way to train

 

your mind and create these imaginary thoughtforms without being

 

considered crazy, or a drug addict. And all it takes is concentration,

 

patience, and time.

>they're they're they're they're they're they're

 

AUGH

 

They are. Their. Different words, different meanings.

Thank you >~< what do you think though?

[Sands]

Well, first of all, someone else's. Access to their mind means what? Everything in their subconscious? Absolutely everything? What even is subconscious, it doesn't actually mean anything because everyone uses it to mean different things? Does the word "everything" hold on to the rest of what follows? Because [citation needed], you're claiming some pretty wild things. A tupper is a tupper without being imposed so you can have a tupper without the hallucinations unless you see a tupper as a hallucination already, which is like, your opinion man. Also we were talking about "them" which is a plural and technically not gammatically correct but the best way to be gender neutral here, yet now we switched to a him? Why? Did not know tulpa needs to be written as Tulpa. Also please don't use the awful, awful Latin plural on a Tibetan word that is tulpae in the future, especially in the essay. That is not how languages work. You talk about some people and what they say, who? And all your skeptics, huh? Your head sure is sinking deep inside your anus there. Schizophrenia apparently also has to be written with a capital letter, thanks for telling me. I am falling asleep and it's 3am, I shouldn't be writing, help.

Okay, I thought i would be getting some help. Not a lesson in grammatical errors. Thank you though.

Sands does bring up some good points though.

 

Try to use less technical terms in the intro and then introduce them later on in the essay when the reader has a grasp on what the whole host/tupper thing actually is. Also, the mention of a wonderland should be saved for later. I'd toss out some more ideas, but I'd like to see more of the essay when you work on it more.
