Teacher?

[oi-stein]

Now, I'm hoping to earn a degree in TCM.

 

Since various online schools already offer TCM, I'm attempting to open my own free of charge. Not only will we offer Acupuncture, Herbology, and simple Chinese philosophy, but along with some other simple courses offered by the NPS (National Park Services) with certification in Archaeology, I'd like to open up a certification program in Tibetan Buddhist studies. I need one or two people to teach a simple course, called Thoughtforms 101 (or something). I don't need them to teach *how* to make a Tulpa, but the mechanics of one. Any takers?

Also, our certification program:

 

Level I

 

(various "Certificate of Completion" things)

Courses needed: any single course

 

Level II

 

Diplomate of TCM

Level III

Instructor of TCM

 

Courses: N/A (needs evaluation and Level II diploma)

If you've read any of my posts, you'll see that I have a deep understanding of the tulpa phenomenon, and how to explain it.

 

That said, I also know that we know so freaking little about tulpas that we have no right to start teaching people about the "mechanics" of them. We can tell people about what we already know, and their potential applications, but that all can be summed up in about 15 minutes or so and be done with. We need more resources in the neurological area in order to better understand these thought-forms. If any questions pop up, I'll be willing to answer them to the best of my ability, but other than that I think that we really don't have enough information to even teach the basics of what a tulpa truly is.

All I need is a small (text) lecture on the terminology and how a tulpa is formed - however, not written in a tutorial form.

I've seen enough of your magical stuff so I guess I could blag my way through about "essences" and "energy". Do I have a degree in tulpa yet?

If you don't want it in a tutorial form, I assume you were aiming for more of a seminar format? At least, a seminar would make more sense to me.

Yes, thank you. Basically, I think this is something nice to document, originally a concept in TB but evolved separately.

He's talking about how easy it is for him to take the role of you who's aiming to enlighten people about tulpa, that even though your virtue is admirable, it will just end up with people spewing a concept like tulpa which would be metaphysical to those who don't have much experience and knowledge with it (Or he's obviously being sarcastic to you :P ). And by making courses, you automatically make implications of tulpa being an objective truth that anyone can apply, good luck with that.

 

>You automatically assume people will kindly open up to your knowledge with warm arms and not have a slip in their minds on who you are and what you stand for.

>You automatically assume people won't say "Is this guy crazy?"

>or "Dafuq is this tulpa sh**?"

 

Yeah. Anyone can make a seminar or a YouTube video seminar, but good luck not being plastered on reddit and 4chan that will go in and out through hell just to make sure that you don't actually find some use into this.

 

I wish you the best in gathering the resources, time, and knowledge that won't make newcomers or those interested not want to question your intelligence and sanity, and good luck when they'll naturally try to make their perception of reality more practical than ours. This phenomenon has a long way to go, because like Xeare said, the concepts can be boiled down in a matter of minutes. We obviously need to extend the concepts much more than that before making courses.

I don't think you guys understand. The study itself is on the evolution itself from Tibetan Buddhism, however being composed of the what I previously said.

That's what I'm saying, I admit that Tibetan Buddhist have something amazing in terms of discipline, focus, mediation, etc. and should be something to lecture or give a seminar about just for curiosity, but people will not be able to take the teachings seriously, and in order to have a practical teaching with the evolution of Tulpa, you'd have to distill the religious aspects of it so it won't challenge other people's belief systems as well. But when we aim to distill the Tibetan Buddhism's teachings that's sustained by their religion itself, it becomes difficult, it merely becomes pieces that the tulpa community will hopefully create on their own, without encroachment of religion.

 

That's why I'm saying, your virtue is admirable, it definitely is, and there's no sarcasm when I'm stating that. It's just that when we're trying to broaden those teachings to a bigger audience, we have to be realistic on how they'll approach it. Although the origins of the tulpa.info community are varied, the Tibetan Buddhist teachings was part of the deviation we see now on the forum (even though we can't really find many books on the core of their teachings).

 

The only difference this time, instead of the tulpa.info community using their teachings as some opening montage like it was before, the aim is to distill any religious aspects and trying to see things scientifically, or at least being introduced to science.

 

This is why, as of now, we can't do that, but we're aiming to get there. At least that's a reasonable mindset for us to not be defeatists and keep finding more information. So whether you want to teach the evolution itself from Tibetan Buddhism, or just wanting to teach the mechanics behind it, fusing that with reality as of now (keyword being "now") will end up failing, unless we have more information to give those courses or seminars some substance.

Ooh, the course will be a part of our Tibetan Buddhist Studies, of course those who will sign up for the class will be ready for religious-ness. We're not going to have to distill the religion of it. Although the course itself is secular in nature, it's main audience is going to be Tibetan Buddhist. that's what we're teaching here - a class on Tibetan Buddhism, with just a simple course on the dilution of concepts here. No tutorials on anything, not implying any of it is even true (even though this may challenge my own beliefs), just teaching people about the religion and the concept itself.
