Consequences of the mainsteam

LOL, but seriously though, I think if a group of people are willing to present to that university of their own perspectives of tulpa, they might consider it. I think it's a matter of hammering down answers to the obvious questions they'll (i.e. Is this schizophrenia?) before they can process their own answer and become disgusted by the thought.

 

We better start making our tulpa books guise...guise, this could be one of those rare chances. *Starts making an e-book on living a healthy life with your Tulpa(e)*

I guess you should start by saying that it was used by tibetan monks as a tool for self-discovery for centuries, so it doesn't seem too crazy.

 

As opposed to daemons who were made according to a fantasy-trilogy.

I'd avoid all the spiritual words and take a clinical approach, though the power of now would indicate that people can be fond of the former as well.

These things aren't difficult because they're potentially controversial. We've seen countless people like Freud who spent years of effort getting their theories popularized, and many of them were despised, ridiculed, and accused of being preposterous. Semmelweis, the guy who is essentially one of the first people to discover antiseptic procedures in medicine, had evidence that cleanliness reduced the mortality rate and rates of infection in patients, and his data was discarded. He received little recognition until decades after his death. What we need, as cliche as it sounds, is the passion. The drive that keeps this going for all of us is what we need more of: we need more people like Glitch, who push for research. We need more people like Pleeb, who push for accessibility. We need more people like the countless other members of this community who strive to seek bonds and spread ideas in the hopes that it will help someone else.

I don't want to lose that.

[Kevin says: One of these days I'm going to find that blasted book on making a tulpa, post the photocopy, an then be out of here. Till then, looks like my tulpas are going to keep coming back here.

 

Oh well. Outvoted again it seems. Lol.]

Probably the biggest age group will be teenagers and people in their 20s, who mostly use the internet nowdays, and not 50 year olds.

The oldest members I can think of right now are Kevin, but he already had a tulpa for a long time, and Dane, who was one of the people who helped developing the tulpa community in the first place.

That's all the people I know that are older than 30.

 

You can add another to your list. Im in my 40s (had my first tulpa probably around 10 years ago).

 

I think the only reason why you dont see many older people into this is that most the older ones who do have Tulpas currently arent learning from this site but rather learning about tulpas from occultic fields so wouldnt be seen in places such as this (which isnt really into the occultic side of things) and many of the ones from this site are coming in from places like MLP which I think favours the age groups eg those in their 20s you said.

 

If this got out in some of the communities where the majority of people are older, there could be interest there

"Concerning your research, there happens to be a bunch of nutjobs over at tulpa.info who have undertaken the task of self-inducing a schizophrenia in order to make their imaginary cartoon pony friends feel real.

 

On a second thought, please stay away from them at all costs. It's contagious."

 

You see, reverse psychology is the fastest way to persuade those who might be sceptical.

 

 

not really

 

 

OMG Im so guillible.. you got me there. I almost missed highlighting the "not really". Now Im laughing at myself for my own stupidity believing your post.

The consequences of tulpae becoming mainstream would be mostly found in religious circles. Mostly Christians and Muslims

and the Westboro Baptist Church...

would rally and protest, screaming something along the lines of "DEEEMOONS!!! DEEEEEEEEEMOONSSSSsss!!!"

 

There it is people, Flexionsensor called it.

 

I could see mass rallying as religions protest that the concept of tulpas 'offends' them and try to find some contrived way to ban anything to do with them.

 

Just want to throw out that I'm not against religion or anything, just the vocal and judgemental minority (In most circles). Ironicly, I'm led to believe that those are the ones who tend to actualy know the least about the religion they claim to follow.

The only thing that hits the mainstream and doesn't get shit smeared all over it is---wait a second--- Nothing.

 

The only way the tulpa phenomenon will be taken seriously, is if you present it with raw scientific fact, and destroy all associations of it with schizophrenia. Of course religions and spiritual groups will hate it, but what don't they hate? You have to get a pro tulpamancer, and track his brain activities while he's communicating with his tulpa, through MRI brain imaging. At least that's the only method I have in mind for now.
