Tulpa?

A tulpa, from what I remember, is a being created from your mind. It gains it's own free will over time as you make it up. Eventually, it's said to become a totally separate being.

QuoteThoughtform may be understood as a 'psychospiritual' complex of mind, energy or consciousness manifested either consciously or unconsciously, by a sentient being or in concert.
This is from Wikipedia, but it has a source connected to it, so I think its safe to consider it valid. (Thoughtform is just the English interpretation of the word Tulpa.)

What oni said sums it up nice I think. If you've ever heard of constructs when it comes to psionics (basically a programmed thought that acts on its own, following your command (programming)) A tulpa is the same thing, except it separates itself from the user and becomes conscious over time.
Seek not beauty in battle. Seek not beauty in death. Consider not your own life. If you wish to protect that which must be protected, then strike when your opponent's back is turned.

Hold on I think I spelled it wrong twice. Looking it up.

Thanks Kube. I was looking it up as we speak.

That sounds a bit.... what's that movie...... Matrix.

What do you mean, Desh?

There's no such thing in the Matrix... A tulpa's got nothing to do with virtual reality... Or maybe I'm missing your point.

 I mean it sounds a bit out there... just like the stuff in Matrix. *<:)

Ah, well it all depends if you believe in that kind of stuff or not. Personal experience has made me unable to deny it :-P

 I believe in quite a lot... but that one...... I just don't know. It seems a bit of a stretch...

The concept came from India. It's an old one too.

 Seems like quite a stretch to me... Which is surprising considering everything else I'm open to..

Yes, there's so much we have yet to discover about the mind that I wouldn't be surprised if it held many more secrets.

Kadesh: If you go along the lines of construct programming, here's a simple rule most believe to be true: whatever your mind can do, so can your construct. So if you can think, it would seem natural to be able to program a construct to think on its own too, since thinking is the most basic thing our mind does. But if it's the whole concept of constructs and programming that's bugging you, then there's not much proof anyone can offer.

 I don't want proof for the world, only for myself.

I just don't know about this one... my mind creating another, separate entity... that can think and act of its own free will? Just not sure....

That is out there. What's strange is that I have been the main person who has experienced phenomena in my mother's house. My mother tells herself that ghosts aren't real and doesn't see anything.My sister experiences very little and I see,hear,and feel so much in that damn house,that whatever haunts it practically forced me to move out.
Still,I don't see how I could create such a thing/things. It seems infeasible

Training. Lots of it most likely. I've only heard of someone successfully creating a Tulpa once, so it's probably very difficult to consciously make one. You'd usually start out with more simple ones that aren't conscious and only have basic commands...
