Tulpa=Religion?

[sushi]

What if we thought about it a different way? What if we considered the possibility that belief itself can change reality? If this was true then it would explain tubas, spells religion and all the rest in one fell swoop.

 

There are entire cultures based around the school of thought that your belief is what shapes the world. Well more like our collective belief as a culture.

 

This reminds me of this -- the whole philosophy section of that post.

Here's an interesting interview with the Tulpa.info creator where this is discussed somewhere in the middle.

Tulpa =/= Religion

Tulpas can have religious properities (mine does)

[glitchthe3rd]

I subscribe to Nietzchean philosophy, which says that all things including religion are a manifestation of collective willpower. So in other words, gods are created by humans and not the other way around. And much as a tulpa is sustained by her host paying attention to her, a god is sustained by many people praying to/believing in them or what have you.

 

That's just my two cents.

It's like you turn on an old fashioned lawn mower and go have a cup of coffee. When you come back your neighbor's flower garden is cut to to shreds. Who knew?

I don't worship my tulpa, but I have great love for him. God, or an entity posing as god has let me down in the past, so it's hard to give my faith to something like that. I like to think more of a Creator. And we are potentially gods ourselves.

Here's something sort of thought provoking. Let's say a man has a tulpa that he can switch with. He is in control 50% of the time and switches with his tulpa the other 50%. Id they have both spent the sane amount of time in control then isn't the tulpa just as real as the man?

[SakuraSky]

Well, one of them is still the original inhabitant of the body and existed before the tulpa was created. I still say that both are real, but it would never be truly 50%\50% unless someone had two minds in one body from birth (actually read a novel like this, was very interesting)
