Tulpa Zine

(1/3) > >>

penultimate.forme:
If you saw my post already over at that other tulpa site, great, you can probably ignore this.

If not, then I am creating a publication about tulpas.
I'm collecting interviews to be used in each issue, if you're interesting in contributing, fill out the attached survey.
Please EMAIL THEM TO ME. penultimate.forme at gmail dot com

If you DON'T do something, that is just as important as if you DO. I would appreciate it if you could be as complete as possible.
For sections that mention spirituality, I have lumped in scientific belief into these sections. So even if you have a practice that is not necessarily spiritual, for example, you meditate only for the purpose of mental focus because it's a proven psychological practice, please include that.

If you don't want to answer the questionnaire but still want to contribute, then shoot me an email at penultimate.forme at gmail dot com (or just reply here.. whatever) with links to your content that I could source for the zine. This includes progress reports, pastebins of philosophical nonsense, creative writing by your tulpa, original art, really whatever you have. I'll take a look at everything and save what I don't use now for future issues.

Credit will be given on the last page of the zine. By default I will include your username alphabetically in a list. E.G., "penultimate.forme on tulpanetwork.com" If you would like to be credited in some other way, I can arrange that as well (especially if you submit content such as art or creative writing). If I use your interview form, credit will be given before the interview.
This will all be easier to explain once the first issue comes out, in the next couple weeks.

Thanks.

About me: I'm an illustrator by trade, and an all-around weirdo. I don't technically have a tulpa, although I would have if the internet tulpa community existed 10 years ago. I find the phenomena fascinating from a scientific and psychological standpoint. This doesn't mean that I disregard spiritual/meta components: I find them important in that they inform an individual's tulpa, its traits and purpose, etc. I believe that 'magick' as it is defined cannot happen; however, I think it can have 'real world' results, which is where the line between science and meta gets blurred for me. I think that acknowledging tulpa as a phenomena is an important step for the scientific community to take, as the implications at this point (without rigorous scientific backing) are infinite.

AGAIN, SEND INTERVIEWS/ETC TO penultimate.forme at gmail dot com

I guess I'll write it here so you can call me a dirty liar if I don't. I'll fill this tomorrow.

penultimate.forme:
In addition to the interview survey, I'm also wondering if anyone would be interested in writing articles for the zine.

The only necessity is that they're grounded by a science-minded/research philosophy (note, philosophy, not format; there doesn't need to be a concrete basis for the article, just the underlying philosophy. aka no meta/magick). They can be opinionated or research driven. Creative writing will be accepted as well. About a page long for each issue.
Each issue will have an overarching theme, and so the article would have to relate to the theme. But it can be interpreted loosely.

The theme for issue 1 is Introduction, so, a vanilla approach to tulpas to form the basis of the zine.
For example, the intro page of tulpa.info is a good start. It's interesting, hooks the reader, and implies there is more to be discovered.

If you have whatever writing, or an idea for an article that doesn't match the theme of introduction, you should submit it to me anyways. I'll use it in the future.

Sands:
You might want to avoid the whole tulpa is this and that thing many of .info's texts have going for them, seeing that we don't know anything for sure. All we can really say is how we think things are and that should be made obvious.

Ea:
It's always your guide.

Publishing tulpas is pointless.
