Guest Anonymous July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 No. My assumption is that it happen to SOME people. Not all of them. Oh okay. Like, they hold up a tulpa as a badge or ticket of entry and then want to just shit post and goof off, I imagine? Or they are sincere and don't use the forum to it's potential, like students at college failing all their courses cause they want to party too much? I'm sure it happens, but I haven's personally seen a lot of that actually. I think most here are sincere in what they at least think is a tulpa in their minds. Certainly most are dealing with some sort of thoughtform and genuinely want to share. Thunder; "Socializing? I will say it's useless as long as you have your host.

glitchthe3rd July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 I think there absolutely should be more awareness on tulpas. Without new members we will eventually die off as a community. Also, by increasing awareness on tulpas we can make the average layperson less likely to immediately jump to conclusions about what a tulpa is. Ignorance breeds fear, but education breeds acceptance.

(Holding a tulpa as a badge to socialize and reach acceptance and barely working on the actual tulpa). I've seen it quite actively on different networks. "Thanks, Melian. You're sweet." I think there absolutely should be more awareness on tulpas. Without new members we will eventually die off as a community. Also, by increasing awareness on tulpas we can make the average layperson less likely to immediately jump to conclusions about what a tulpa is. Ignorance breeds fear, but education breeds acceptance. I think that a community like this, in the end, as a community and outside of social networks like the IRC chat, is really better dying off rather than falling into wrong hands and distorting definitions that were put back in the day. Today's breed is really... different.

YES!

Today's breed is really... different. What wrong hands?

WizardMassacre July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 What the hell is wrong with finding many others who can relate to having headmates? Why is telling your story to those who will understand and believe you "blatant?" Are we so afraid of being judged that we have to hide away from the world like a kingdom of mental lepers? Tulpas and thoughtforms are not mental illness. They are cool beyond belief! We need to just tell it as it is and show the world! We should be proud of this not ashamed and fearful! How do you change the world? By being BOLD! More people will know about tulpas and headmates and relate to it and learn. I don't align with this atmosphere of timidity and fear! People will just run around saying they have a tulpa, and that's it. Nothing will come from that. This website is for finding people with tulpae, but a large part of it is for information and intellectual (and sometimes metaphysical) discussion. There's no point in just telling people you have a tulpa, without any sort of discussion about it. I know they aren't a mental illness, and most people on here seem to agree, but we will never get fully accepted as "normal." People will still try to dress it up as an illness, like people today still do with homosexuality. I think that, if it were to be accepted as normal (and not some illness) then it would be okay for more people to know about. But I don't think that will ever happen.
Luminesce July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 If everyone understands the phenomenon.. If everyone understands the goals, beliefs, do's and don'ts, and the intents.. And if everyone understands the effects of having a tulpa, then we'll be fine. We can explain to every new person who thinks we're all insane, and one at a time people will understand. That's my goal here, and I like to think I'm making a difference. That being said, while my answer is "Yes" to the question, I'm not saying we should spread awareness of tulpas and go tell everyone. I'm saying we should be open to people who find us, and be open to letting more people do so. Tulpa.info showing up in google a few results down from "real imaginary friend" would be awesome. Of course we're still going to get complete skeptics, but they're still going to be people remotely interested in the subject. And I think those people should have a chance to learn about the tulpa phenomenon. So, we don't need to go actively tell people. But we should be available for those who show interest. We can judge the character of a person on a case-by-case basis and whether to tell them, and we can spread general acceptance and understanding as a community. That just seems like the best way to go about things, to me. Hi! I'm Lumi, host of Reisen, Tewi, Flandre and Lucilyn. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature. My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.
Elvode July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 As I see it, all of us here right now and future people who will come here and find us and learn about tulpas, have an interest in it all, some people may have been led here by friends but all the same we share an interest in tulpas, I believe people will always come here to this website for the information and experience we share with everyone, because they are interested, it is already spreading around, I don't see any reason to worry about it, we gain new members all the time, very few seem to stick around here with us but I hope even more people will be active. **Proud to be a drug free thoughtform!**

That just seems like the best way to go about things, to me. Were it so easy. Human beings are evil by nature in their definition of things. People will distort concepts we hold and make a joke out of this. But I won't be around when it happens, you'll know I called it as many others have before though. (Thunder and I haven't forgotten about Reguile's thread, it's that we've been busy enough that it kept us from writing a long answer that would satiate your curiosity on how things go in my mind. Post coming soon.)
Abia July 28, 2015 July 28, 2015 Well, there are corrupt individuals in every community. There are already people who treat this as a joke, and people who mistreat their tulpas. If more people are aware of the phenomenon, and more people become a part of it, there will certainly be more bad hosts. There will also be more good hosts. The proportion of good/bad (or however you would define it) already exists within the tulpa community. It's the difference between ~1/7 and ~10/70.
