Sometimes in childhood we make ourselves invisible friends who become more real than ordinary boys and girls. They play with us, understand our problems, give advice ... At us adults laugh at these fantasies, and psychiatrists make certain diagnoses. Tibetans are sympathetic to such things. They believe: you can materialize anything: an object, a phenomenon, a person. This technique was called "Tibetan tulpa".
What it is?
Recently, young people come together in whole groups. They call themselves tulpovodami. A new-fashioned current swept half the planet. But do his followers know about the real essence of the concept, its purpose and purpose? Let's see what Tibetan tulpa means.
In Buddhism - the religion that this small mountainous country professes - it is the materialization of thought. A person needs to really realistically divide his consciousness into parts and put one of the pieces into free swimming. That is, by the power of thought you imagine a certain image, animate it until it separates from you and becomes completely autonomous. Having gained independence, he can even establish a return contact: you hear his words, you feel touch. In a word, the goal of the tulp grower is the embodiment of fantasy into living matter in all five senses. And not only for yourself, but also for other people. This is the pinnacle of excellence. The Tibetan tulpa, the significance and essence of which the monks of this country described in more than one work, has long become a part of their daily lives.
Tulpa's friend
Tibetan tulpa can manifest in various forms. It all depends on what goal you pursue, creating it. The first type of tulpa is an imaginary friend. Moreover, he does not always take a human form. It can be a creature from another planet, a fairy-tale hero or a mythical creature. Often they come up with small children who are very lonely. There may be several reasons for this: they have no friends at all, another baby was born in the family and all parents' attention is now concentrated on him, or they grow up in dysfunctional families, suffer violence and bullying.
In any case, no matter what triggered the appearance of such a comrade, you should treat this with respect. Ask the child to tell how he looks, what he loves. Say you want to make friends with him too. Then conclude that the baby
does not have enough communication, so direct all your efforts to the organization of his leisure.
If children make up a friend unconsciously, then some adults specifically create such images. Why do they need it? Most likely, they are also alone, or have a rich imagination, or simply succumbed to the influence of fashion. In this case, the Tibetan tulpa eats human feelings and emotions: the significance and its role in their life often becomes so huge that it completely crowds out the surrounding reality.
Tulpa Hallucination
It can manifest itself in certain visions: snowfall, flying lights, images of giant fish floating in the air ... In a word, this is a complete abstraction, invented by the human brain. The art of creating tulpa in this case is realized in the form of a split of consciousness into two parts, its division, the construction of a wall in the middle of oneself.
Tibetan monks claim that hallucination images become real only through the power of their thoughts. Well, it is possible that true professionals manage to materialize images, but the vast majority still take drugs. Under their action, they see the pictures that their inflamed brain creates.
The human subconscious is an intricate labyrinth consisting of hidden desires, childhood injuries, suppressed emotions. What exactly emerges after drug use is unknown. Each person has his own vision. Wandering through the intricate corridors of their inner self, the tulp growers hallucinate in reality. At the same time, doctors skeptically shake their heads and say that the most vivid images are seen either by drug addicts or mentally ill people.
How to create a tulip?
To do this, you need to really imagine the image that revolves in your head, is close or simply attracts, fascinates. It won’t work right away, so be patient. It usually takes from a few weeks to six months to create tulpa . It all depends on the person, the possibilities of his auto-suggestion and, of course, time. It is advisable to allocate at least half an hour a day for this good deed.
Imagine that you are a lonely woman, middle-aged, who is tired of the search for her soulmate. All friends started a family and spend free time with loved ones. To pass joyless days, you disappear at work for days on end. This is where the practice of Tibetans comes to the rescue - the creation of tulpas. In this case, she will be embodied in the image of a friend, friend, lover. You clearly imagine how he looks, what he loves, what he does. You mentally draw every line of his character and even his past life. Over time, not only you begin to see him near you, but you can talk with him, have fun and even establish intimate relationships. You believe in its existence and cannot imagine your future life without it.
Tulpa features
Let's say everything turned out for you and you got your materialized image - a young man. You lie on the couch with him, watch the series. At the same time, you can touch it: stroking hair, clinging to the shoulder. You discuss the film, share your impressions. It’s good with him, because he was created depending on your desires and preferences: he does not take your remote control from the TV, knows how to listen, constantly says compliments. The Tibetan tulpa, as an independent autonomous unit, has its own desires: sometimes you indulge it, fulfill whims.
Just consider one “but”: others will not understand if you tell them about some mythical Sasha or Pasha. Even if you keep a secret about the existence of an image, one day it can tell you a joke right on the street. A laughing man walking without reason will cause bewilderment and sympathy among those around him.
The Tibetan tulpa can change over time - do not interfere with the process. This happens according to the will of your subconscious: at a certain stage you have new goals and desires, and your “friend” adapts to them. He cannot die or disappear if you do not want to. There are times when a tulpa gets out of control and subjugates a person to itself. He becomes dependent on her, often "rents out" his body to a fictional entity and lives by its rules.
Psychiatrists Opinion
It is clear that they are extremely skeptical and completely exclude the possibility of materialization of thought. In their opinion, the Tibetan tulpa is a sign that a person immediately needs hospitalization and treatment. For them, this is an ordinary mental disorder of personality, a split, split "I" into many parts. Such people are called "quiet crazy" who, unlike the violent ones, do not require isolation from society, but need therapy.
Although, if you look at it deeper, tulpa is not a disease. This is a person’s condition, so before you stuff him with pills and injections, you should help him find friends or an interesting activity. And doctors can often be mistaken, putting the stigma of the insane. Psychiatry is a delicate science, even in the healthiest and clearest head, it will be able to find those "cockroaches" that will help it make a diagnosis. Once, a well-known psychiatrist stated that every person who is keen on something or someone has the first
stage of schizophrenia .
