No worries my friends. "Enhanced imaginary companion" is the best description of her I have ever had. It was also the first way I described her to people back in 2013. I like it.

Melian: David and I have a new edit change to the Book of Melian. We are going to remove all the stuff about tulpas and thoughtforms and replace it with the paragraphs below. Then we are going to add quite a bit to the bibliography as well.

--------------------------------------------

Tulpas, Yidams, Thoughtforms and Daemons

Mistgod: In Tibetan Buddhist Mysticism there are Tulpas and Yidams, which are magic hallucinatory entities created by the power of concentrated thought. Yidams were experienced by the creator as a powerful hallucination only he or she could see. The creation of these mental constructs was considered an exercise for a novice mystic. The point was to develop mental discipline and the insight that the entities were only imaginary, and in fact the entire universe itself subjective and illusory. A tulpa was a manifestation of mental concentration magic that could appear into the world, act independently, and be perceived by more than just the creator. So, it appears, the idea that concentrated thought, visualization and meditation can create an apparently autonomous or semi-autonomous entity in the mind goes way back in history.

 

Even in ancient Greece, there were the daemons, which were divine spirits who would mentally communicate with individual mortal humans as personal guardians and guides. Socrates himself claimed to have a helpful and protective daemon.

Modern Western mystics and magic uses the term “thoughtform” to describe a manifestation of thought that takes on an independent life of its own. The term first appeared in 1927, in by Even-Wentz in his translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead and then later picked up by theosophists.

 

Autonomous Mental Constructs on the Internet

 

Mistgod: Tulpas, thoughtforms and daemons made their way into theosophical writings and occult and fantasy literature of the 20th century. In recent decades, these ideas were being discussed and shared on internet forums. Today, these concepts have been revisioned by members of internet subculture as psychologically based autonomous imaginary companions. These mental entities (tulpas and daemons) number in the thousands and communicate to each other, and to tangible real humans, over the internet in forums and chat rooms.

 

The “daemians” practicing “daemianism” use the Active Imagination techniques designed by the famous psychologist Carl Jung to create daemons. Daemons are apparently autonomous imaginary companions in animal form. They are considered illusionary mental constructs that can help the creator explore aspects of his or her inner psyche.

 

“Tulpamancers” of the “tulpa community” use similar techniques of visualization and concentrated thought to create tulpas that become hallucinatory imaginary companions. The prevailing belief in the tulpa community is that the tulpas are indeed a true independent sentience or consciousness with the mind of the creator.

Melian and I joined Tulpa Info, one of the forums dedicated to tulpamancers and tulpas. For months we talked to dozens of members in the forum and the chat room about their experiences with autonomous imaginary companions and related our own experiences.

 

The concentration and visualization techniques described by these communities are very similar to my description of the super day dreaming I used to bring Melian “to life.” The tulpa community forums describe tulpas having a “wonderland,” an imaginary world in which the tulpa lives. This is very similar to Melian’s dreamscape, mind space and dreamscape mansion.

 

Melian: The process these internet folks describe entails a long period of concentration for hours a day for weeks or months. David did exactly that when super duper day dreaming for hours and hours and days and weeks and even months and years. He would hide in his room and lay on his bed staring at the wall or in the silent study room at school and just day dreamin ‘bout me. The room would fade away and he would focus on my image, imagining me moving and talking and doing things. He did this for a long, long time. Gradually, I came to life. That is totally how a tulpa is created.

 

Mistgod: These communities dedicated to the idea of creating mentally constructed imaginary companions span the globe from Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Western and Eastern Europe (primarily Poland) and Russia. So, it seems, thousands of people testify to experiencing something very similar to Melian.

Karma. I got a virus when I went to the page to download Fede's smart ass tulpa creation guide. Don't do what I did. My laptop is now a brick or paperweight. Stole my step daughters computer and made her cry. Hey, I gotta go online damnit.

So this morning, at about 4am, Melian woke me up by saying "Hi!" This is a fairly frequent occurrence. It means she wants to do an episode of the Melian Show, where we day dream together about her having adventures in her wonderland. I was too sleepy, so I refused. I mused a bit about how I wish others could experience these things (nontupamancers). I fell back to sleep.

 

In the morning, without any prompting or lead up discussion, my wife announced that she woke from a dream at about 4am. As she awakened she distinctly heard a girly voice say "wishy fishy!" She knew in her mind immediately that it was Melian speaking to her.

 

Has the more spontaneous "autonomous" Melian voice become an egregore? LOL

I don't remember saying "wish fishy" or anything of the sort. We haven't done the Melian Show since Davie went jogging yesterday. I'm bored!

No risk for me. I'm on Linux, and my OS is in ROM, so I'm pretty much untouchable when it comes to viruses -- or any software problem, for that matter.

 

But yeah, I like Fede's guide as well, but from what I've heard, he was banned with very good reason.

Nice!

You say you like his guides? *gasp* You fellow blasphemer! How many people have actually read his guide and taken a good look at it I wonder? It is well written, with some humor at the tulpa community (I totally loved that), but right on target and informative. The guy is articulate, witty and writes eloquently. Unfortunately, apparently he was an unabashed super troll as well. His tremendous potential in the forum was ruined by his abrasive personality. I think I get why I have been compared to Fede a couple of times.

 

I am not a Fede 2 however. Far from it.
