A tulpa is an individual hallucination that is created by the person himself and is even visible and tangible not only by him alone. Tulpa creation is practiced by Tibetan monks. It was they who created this extraordinary technique, which is widely used in occultism, however, psychiatrists do not share their opinions and believe that hallucinations occur with a mental disorder. There are cases when completely strangers who did not take part in the creation of this hallucination saw these images.
The method of creating a tulpa is based on long meditation and secret symbols that contribute to the accumulation of thought energy. A tulpa can be created gradually or instantly, and it can come out of the master's obedience. This hallucination is capable of living on its own and at times can harm its creator.
In the 1920s, Alexandra David-Neel, a Frenchwoman, studied remote areas of Tibet. She spent a lot of time with the monks and repeatedly saw the materialization of the tulpa. The researcher was very interested in the methods of creating an autonomous entity, and she decided to try to create a tulpa herself. For several months, Alexandra meditated intensely. And she really did it. Her deliberate hallucination appeared in front of her in the form of a small and good-natured lama. He began to appear and disappear, regardless of the desire of an inquisitive and inquisitive French woman.
After some time, the materialized hallucination began to show aggression, malice and insolence to its creator. This state of affairs began to bother Alexandra, and she turned to her longtime acquaintance Mirra Alfassa. A friend said that it is useless to break the connection with your creation, you just have to try to gradually "absorb" your creation. It took David-Neel over six months of intense meditation to bring his tulpa back into the imaginary world.
Tulpas can be so material that you can talk to them and get the most unexpected answers to your questions, you can even touch them and smell the smell emanating from them. A tulpa can behave very independently and even show some hatred towards its creator. A materialized hallucination can be not only in human form. It can be a plant, an animal, a mythical creature, or even an inanimate object.
