They need to make a horror flick about this. Like it's a screamer that pops up because of a malicious ad then it infects your imagination and pops up everywhere when you look in a mirror or out the car window. There's this gruesome lookin monster in the banner ad and it says "If you don't click on this ad then this fucker will get you" and then because you imagine the thing getting you it becomes real and gets you for real.

So a gritty reboot of Harvey is what I'm saying.

You know how a lot of writers say their characters have minds of their own? It's because the writer has thought about the character a bunch and intuitively understands how that character behaves in a variety of situations. From the stuff I've read linked itt it mostly looks like this is a thing where people develop imaginary friends in much the same way a writer develops characters for their stories which while I would say is weird i don't think it's particularly dangerous or crazy.

they claim they can literally see and hear them and poo poo though. like induced schizophrenia or something

Cubone posted:

it's this
collective self-induced hysteria of preternatural uniqueness

if you put a gun to their head they'd swear it was real, even though they know it's not, because the lie fulfills their desperately human need for identity and purpose that's effortlessly granted in the paper-thin world of childlike imagination and cartoon fantasy

same principle as otherkin, or pentecostal christians

well, we know it's possible for the human brain to go crazy and literally start seeing and hearing poo poo that isn't there. and we know these people are crazy as hell.

so the question is whether or not it's possible to spend months trying to train your brain to malfunction in a specific way, and succeeding. it's the kind of thing where i'd lean toward it being complete bullshit, but i wouldn't necessarily discount it completely. maybe some of these people really did rediscover an ancient method to intentionally drive yourself insane, all for the sake of cartoon ponies.

ArbC you stick around this thread for a while let's see where it goes. They are seriously mentally ill. 70 pages of mind loving an imaginary Sprite or whatever. Ernest Hemingway poo poo right there.

oh man, there was this kid we were making fun of, in some thread, a few years ago? who was a "multi-system" which uh
to me is completely indistinguishable from tulpas idk

but they had like hundreds anime characters in their head, right? and their tumblr had a master list of all of the animes in their head, along with a brief description, and there were some hilarious ones that were just incidental background characters from comics and cartoons or whatever,
but my favorite was one of the personalities listed was the kid's actual birth name, blandly described as an uninteresting part of the collective, inactive and largely forgotten.

i can't remember what the thread was now, but I remember I was like jesus this is some loving charlie kaufman poo poo right here. id watch the poo poo out of that movie.
uh, asa butterfinger, or kodi smit-mcphee, stars, spike jonez or michel gondry directs, or terry gilliam in the 80's maybe, a movie about a kid, who starts humanizing and putting a name to aspects of his personality, and gets so hosed up on anime and poo poo, that eventually his original personality is just this sad beaten little thing in the corner of a mind hopelessly preoccupied with cataloging its own eccentricities. and then uhhh, a girl, loving, chloe grace moretz, or like a younger version of that chick that looks like katie perry, sees him for what he is and reaches out to rescue him from himself, i guess, because that's what women are for in movies, and his real identity reasserts itself enough to meet her at the third act prom, or, date her, so she doesn't date a worse guy, who's handsome but a jerk, and she tells him he doesn't have to define himself against the rest of the world, we all play roles, but all the desirable feelings and nobility he sees in his head mates are really just refractions of himself, and he's a person and deserves to live in this world. and actually she doesn't date him, they just become good friends, and the handsome guy isn't a jerk he's actually pretty cool, and, you know what, the anime head kid is actually gay, and that's fine, everybody's cool with it, it's 2015.

there is a reason this stuff was tucked deep away in corners of vajrayana buddhism that few knew for a very long time

the people that originated the idea of tulpas knew it to be mentally and physically dangerous to the unprepared

so you collide that with idiot nerds on tumblr and you get this poo poo

2. what is the difference between magic, magick, dark magic, dark magick, and darck magick?

3. what's the difference between a cult and occult?

I’m becoming more aware that I might have a mental illness. I do not know which one I have, however. When I was younger, I questioned if somebody was controlling me, if there was someone that’s making me do the things I did. There was a voice inside my head arguing against me! I thought it was just plain puberty, but that is probably not the case. As I grew older, I started to have more disturbing thoughts inside my head as well, like "kill ur family" because someone called Slenderman told me to. I thought it was just puberty striking here again. In addition, I frantically worry about my health. I was scared that my mental cognitive ability would decline and that I would get AIDS. I was frantic and checked to see if I would have any of the symptoms. I also thought about people plotting against me, and if my food contained poison. Needless to say i don't eat at McDonalds (that clown is up to something)!

Fast forward a couple of years, and now the same symptoms are reoccurring. Recently, I thought I had a brain clog because I had a headache and when I searched on google, I was scared that I might have a fatal disease. Furthermore, I see myself questioning reality and more gruesome thoughts are popping inside my head, like me moderating GBS. I am scared that I will develop schizophrenia, and am again believing that my reality might not be real. I thought what if people are aliens in disguise. I am also waiting for my psychosis, as I feel it would happen anytime, but it has not happened yet. I do suffer a bit from anxiety (social phobia) and am really stressed. In addition, I thought about having an imaginary friend called Lettery, because he looked like a letter with multiple legs. Now that is just silly! The only odd thing is that when I read some of the symptoms associated with schizophrenia, I find it preposterous to believe in!

this is like those notebooks crazy people write

quote:

Wow me and my host, especially my host feel like we are no where close to achieving switching; realistically speaking for my host this can take a couple of years to achieve.

Still a relatively short amount of time for something so life changing, trying to undo the work of my host 20 years of being tied to the physical body.

While your guide says that us tulpae don't really play a role in switching (expect for the last step) I still believe its possible to assist our host in switching in a more direct and profound way, the method is out there we just need to find it.


Another question I have, let's say a tulpa and a host switch places. Will the tulpa be bestow the same powers that the host have. Will they be able to temporary visit the wonderland like the host. And if the tulpa refuse to switch back is their anything the host can do?

my dog that's a demon trying to steal your corporeal form that's like basic 101 poo poo

oh poo poo will at least that one has a good ending?

quote:

my mind and brain works.

The Reality is, Oguigi is a made-up character inspired when i had a major obsession with a show called my little pony. I made this character up and gave it life and power by surrendering reason and logic.

In the End, a tulpa is no more real then any fiction that exist today. It’s an self imposed illusion with a face and a name.

In my case I was trapped in a corrosive thought maze that took me almost two years to recover from.

It’s time for me to move on. it’s over.

like if you take a madhyamaka viewpoint of the nature of things being emptiness then we could probably argue that everything is a tulpa

which winds up being either an affirming or a nihilistic viewpoint depending on how you interpret it

gently caress western philosophy, it took them forever to approximate an understanding of this. abrahamic dualism and materialism still mires it down.

yeah dude gently caress the greeks for only coming up with nihilism half a century before buddhists.
