General Discussion / Can tulpa formation help understand the psychosomatic relation?
« on: October 29, 2013, 03:53:15 PM »
So we know that with tulpas, we can achieve mental feats such as parallel processing. This feat seems unprecedented, but the more I consider the function of tulpas such as servitors, is it possible that tulpas are only notable because of the controlled/conscious quality they have, and that besides that defining characteristic (although it is an important one), are otherwise un-noteworthy?

For example, consider the act of walking and talking simultaneously. For those who struggle with this activity, is it possible that they have simply (unknowingly) not programmed the correct function or servitor for this activity? Can tulpas/servitors be used to explain everyday functions that the brain executes without the conscious mind being aware? Other examples include people who are great at mental math, imposition used for drawing, etc...

If this has already been discussed, please link for my lurking pleasure. Thanks~

General Discussion / Tulpa Zine
« on: October 24, 2013, 02:07:41 PM »
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
