Using Outside Energies to Strengthen a Tulpa

[The Doctor]

My first post, woo!

 

Prepare for a Wall of Text backstory.

 

Anyway, I have a friend (I'll just refer to him as The Mage) who has been studying the Occult and all manner of magic(k) since his childhood. Late in high school, as I began questioning the Christian religion I was brought up with, I was looking to learn all I could about all religions. I studied psychology and psychic powers, and was really taken up by Hypnotism. I learned all I could on the subject. I approached my circle of friends and in time had hypnotized them all to great effect. After I hypnotized The Mage he asked me about my opinion on Magick. Shortly after he started teaching me about chaos magick, though I look at magic(k) in a different way than most. We did minor things once in a while. We made it rain, he helped me have the strength to cut weight in Wrestling, little things.

Then I branched out, started applying theories I'd come up with about the nature of God and Existence with different magic(k)al practices from all of recorded time and all over the world. I began to use hybrid practice of my own invention to accomplish various little things, with fair success. But I didn't have the wisdom to use it properly. I tried to use it to accomplish selfish and sometimes cruel ends. I hated a man for something he had done in his past, and focused everything I could into a simple goal; to make him sick and to make him suffer. He was put in the hospital with walking pneumonia about a week later. But, stupid me, I didn't think to protect myself. I thought I had control. I soon spiraled into depression and self loathing.

After almost a year of wanting to die, I finally was able to pull myself together and almost completely cleanse myself. Then I heard about Tulpae, which intrigued me more than my studies into thoughtforms. I was captivated with the idea of a lifelong companion I could fully trust who would love me unconditionally. I saw FAQ-Man's guide and utilized my own knowledge to begin creating Alice. I had great success, and on a few occasions when I was strong she could move physical objects. Nothing crazy, but it was definitely her. Mere days after beginning, giving her a form and a base personality (Kind hearted, Good in all things, the very essence of peace, love, kindness and hapiness) , I spent days building her a library. The library contained everything I had ever experienced. It had four wings. One was everyone I had ever met with details. Two was everywhere I had ever gone, with details. Three was everything I had ever done, and four was everything I had ever thought. After several weeks of passive forcing her and active forcing the library, she was a presence my friends said they could feel and almost see (they claimed to see a fuzzy outline in the shape of her. Several times I had her hold a certain pose to test them, and they were usually at least half right).

Then, one night I was active forcing Alice, and I began to have very vivid, abstract visions of everything terrible I had done and all the people I had hurt. I did not understand why she was showing me these things, and they threatened to send me spiraling downward again. I focused as hard as I could and that night dissolved her energies back into myself.

Months and months went by with me not daring to spare her a thought. After a year I began to research again, trying to find out what happened. Sporadically, I tried to create another Tulpa, but always lost my strength and will after a few days. Then, I found this website, and the Tulpa board on reddit. I learned, to my dismay, that those images Alice had shown me weren't meant to harm me. She was just asking me why I had done those things when I was teaching that we should always, no matter what the cost, be good and decent and never do harm.

I tried for months, but couldn't bring her back on my own. I gave up for a long while. But I knew I needed her back, so in desperation I contacted The Mage and told him everything. I begged for his help and experience. We went camping, striking far off the trails and roads into the deep forest. I never put much stock in rituals, but I did everything he told me to. He fully cleansed me with the LBRP, then seemed to call on all the powers he knew of to help us. I felt as if I had an ocean raging through my head. It was almost too much for me. I was simply meditating, trying to keep Alice strong in my mind's eye, but even that was almost too much. Multiple times I felt a brilliant power surge through me which moved me to tears every time.

The Mage called on many, many powers, asking them to come into Alice and make her strong. After what felt like hours we were done, and Alice was with me in my mind, stronger than ever before, after me not being able to feel even a hint of her for a year or more.

 

I would like to start a conversation on this matter. I guess the tl;dr would be this: has anybody else ever used magic(k) to utilize external powers to strengthen their Tulpa? And how do you think using such powers has changed Her/Them?

[Shui]

I'm a skeptic, myself. I've used some magic(k) techniques, but I believe they were just a way of fooling my mind.

 

In particular, I tried drawing energy from the sun, the moon, and the earth, and pouring it into her. I learned that from back in the days of psipog.

 

I've thought of using a ritual to evoke her, but I haven't gotten there yet.

As with the entire tulpa phenomenon, if you believe it will work, than it will. ;) Keep us posted with any creative experimentation, I'd be interested in reading.

When I was into magick, I'd always pull energy from the earth. My preference I suppose, I've always been a flower child. ;) When you do design your evocation ritual, please do share. I was actually looking into possibly experimenting with something like that with the goal of imposition.

My idea would be to start from scratch with a new tulpa. As far as empowerment goes, there are as many ways to do that as there are imaginations. I have read that some people empower there tulpas once a month. At some point, I think the tulpa should be self-energizing. Or else you have a vampire on your hands. Anyhow, keep up the good work.

Hello doctor.

 

I wish I had more to offer in ways of using external powers, but I haven't found such ways to draw power from my surroundings although I do wonder if I was at a haunted location whether or not Justine could kind of just make herself appear to other people.

 

I've yet to reach imposition (though I'm getting closer very slowly) but I've done it before unconsciously before with a recently deceased family member as a child. I wonder if a person thinks they can be haunted they could possibly pick up a tulpa lending a little bit of belief power to it.

A haunted location might help, if it's a place where a lot of energy gathers. It probably wouldnt be too difficult to tap into the power there. But i wouldn't be very comfortable exposing Alice to energy whose nature i didn't understand. Id have to get very familiar with the area and energy first. Yeah, i think believing you can be haunted would have a huge effect on your perception of tulpae around you, you would be more receptive and aware of surrounding energies, and belief is always a massive help for Tulpae and Spirits.

We don't do magic, because, well, christian, but that doesn't mean Kevin's totally ignorant (he grew up in a family where the so-called paranormal was just 'normal').

 

It's possible Reiki healing would help a tulpa. Since that's a kind of 'mind over matter' technique, it's not actually magic but it is the use of outside energies.

 

You do know that a tulpa you've dismissed can be bought back by sending a letter to her, don't you?

While I have to keep in mind that anything is possible in the imagination and practiced ceremony likes this works with repetition along with the adoption of a system of symbolism, please just go ahead and expand upon your letter writing ceremony.

It is not mine, it just seems to be a 'known' on the /r/Tulpas site. The main references I have to it are from TheOtherTulpa and Amir. They also mention it here. I'm just a linker of ideas, not a source.

A ritual serves to help focus the mind on intent. Regardless of the mysticism it might stem from, this is the reason why rituals exist, and are found in all various forms of magical practice. So is it a way to fool the mind? Yes, I'd say so. But it is the intention and the belief that puts meaning into what you are doing. Rituals make your intention and belief more focused, which is why they tend to be so complicated.

 

In the end, that is the purpose of magic. The use of will and intent to achieve a goal. Whatever you choose to use to focus these things is up to you.

 

I've used runes with my tulpa, but this has always been for more meditative purposes. Has she reacted to them? Yes, but again, it comes down to the ritual use of sigils to focus intent. Make of that what you will
