Lacquer March 10, 2013 March 10, 2013 Threads merged into this thread : Is there a definitive guide with all the communities out there that are similar to tulpas? I can think of two off the top of my head: Headmates and Daemons. At some point, I'd like to make that list, with a description for each and how they differ from tulpas. I'm not referring to things that are similar to tulpas, I'm talking about sites that are directly related to tulpas and tulpa creation. I can think of a few: tulpa.ru The Russian community./r/tulpas The subreddit.Tulpacraft A 4chan style image board, possibly run by Bin/Charlotte. Does anyone else know anymore sites directly related to tulpas? [*] There's some scattered everywhere from tumblr to reddit and 4chan. But are there other stable communities of tulpa around the internet?

Sock March 10, 2013 March 10, 2013 The only one that comes to mind is the multiplicity community, but that's for people with sudden cases of DID/MPD. There's also soulbonds, but why you would want to sully yourself with that I have no clue. So if you want a shiny new thought folk community, you'd need to make one yourself.

GuessWho March 10, 2013 March 10, 2013 Found this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Tulpas It's also tulpas, just a different site.
Lacquer March 10, 2013 Author March 10, 2013 Found this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Tulpas It's also tulpas, just a different site. Not what I meant. I meant things that are similar to tulpas. Like how daemons are pretty much just tulpas, but they set some limits on their forms to closer align with what their idea of a daemon is.
Kiahdaj March 10, 2013 March 10, 2013 I seem to recall people talking of how one's Anima or Animus could be similar to tulpae. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."
recansspunners March 11, 2013 March 11, 2013 Other terms include Soulbonders (writer communities, characters who become tulpa-like. Some thing it's psychological, strong meta bent) and Headmates (all over tumblr, very meta approach, questionable validity all over the place). Daemons fall mostly under His Dark Materials fan communities, unless you're talking about traditional Greek Eudaimonia, which is an extinct practice loosely duplicated by some chaos magick types and pagan/wicca communities. I don't have specific links, but those should help locating other such fragmented groups. ちぇえええええええええええええええええええええええええええええ~ん!
Lacquer March 11, 2013 Author March 11, 2013 Would you consider all of those to be subsets of tulpas, or are tulpas and the rest of those a subset of one of those? Or are tulpas and all of those different facets to another whole thing?

Or are tulpas and all of those different facets to another whole thing? I consider tulpa to be a subset of general multiplicity. An examination of the multiple scene and what people describe with their tulpa reveal that the two phenomena are nearly exactly the same, with the major exceptions being terms, and that one is not done intentionally, while the other is. If you don't believe me, feel free to check these places out: The Layman's Guide to Multiplicity Astrea's Web HealthyMultiplicity.com Kinhost There aren't too many sites on the subject, and the ones I do find I don't completely trust, but when I do run into accounts that sound valid, they tend to mirror what a well-developed tulpa would be like.
