I wonder how many would like to have a friend who would not have to be shared with anyone, and his appearance and character would never piss him off.
In addition, this friend could well play the role of a secretary who has constant access to memory and submits the right idea at the most crucial moment, acting as a partner for brainstorming if necessary. Those who really need such a friend should take a closer look at the tulpa, namely, stable visualization, moreover, self-suggested and conscious, with its own consciousness and the ability to both independent thoughts and actions.
What is a tulpa
An interesting fact is that the creation of a tulpa is carried out quite consciously, with the help of fairly long-term actions that are purposeful, allowing you to set the initial character, as well as the form, at your own discretion. It should be cautioned that in the event that the process of creating a tulpa is successful, one should be prepared for the fact that a psychiatrist will diagnose schizophrenia, and without any reflection, but this does not stop anyone. Let’s take a closer look at the components of a tulpa.
Stability means that it does not appear and disappear spontaneously, while self-hypnosis says that personal participation is necessary to create a tulpa, and mindfulness means understanding what others cannot comprehend. Visualization suggests that the tulpa does not exist in the familiar world, however, it has the ability to influence consciousness in such a way that information about it begins to flow in the general stream of sensations, thereby becoming realistic, while the interaction acquires a full range of sensations. Having consciousness means that the tulpa will behave in such a way that it will simply be impossible to distinguish it from another person, and if necessary, it will even be able to successfully pass the Turing test, but only inside the brain.
It can be assumed that the tulpa is a kind of attempt by the brain to create an imitation of consciousness, although this is impossible to verify, given the lack of an outside observer. Conscious creation means that in order to find a tulpa next to you at one fine moment, you need to make some effort and have the corresponding desire. Currently, there are many guides that usually do not contradict each other, in connection with which we can talk about a more or less systematic approach to creating a tulpa. Finally, the ability to set the initial character, as well as the form, allows you to create any creature for which there is only enough imagination.
After the tulpa reaches a certain level of self-awareness, she may want to change something in her character or appearance, and it is not a fact that she will be able to forbid her to make such changes.

History
At the very beginning of its existence, namely in the period from 2008 to 2010, the tulpa acted as a kind of fingerbox, a kind of invented phenomenon, or an object, information about which is distributed to the public, while being supported by relevant photographs and causing a number of questions, such as how to use and where to buy. On foreign boards, stories began to appear telling how some people revived the heroes of their favorite films in their own minds, while claiming that they replace their friends and relatives.
Such an idea was received with enthusiasm, especially among single people, which the tulpa could replace the guy or girl. For a number of people, instructions that were complete fiction led to very real results, which had a significant impact on those who had previously perceived the tulpa only as a fingerbox.
At the beginning of 2012, the first guides began to appear on Russian boards, while at the moment the Russian-speaking community has a number of blogs actively demonstrating the process of creating your own tulpas. Using certain practices, it is quite possible to create a second personality in your own head, which is of a separate nature and has the ability to perceive the world around it through the senses. It remains to consider these practices.
How to create a tulpa
In order to create a tulpa, a classic five-step scheme is usually used. First of all, character is created, for which personal qualities should be carefully considered, the number of which usually ranges from five to ten. Further attention is paid to the creation of a personal image, and during forcing it will constantly have to be kept in the head, looking at the image, and then trying to keep it in memory. Once the image has been visualized, image reinforcement can be omitted, and it should be remembered that if a familiar personality was used to create the visual image, the tulpa is very likely to take on its features.
Although it can be skipped, the wonderland stage creates a small piece of the virtual world using self-hypnosis and the simplest forms of meditation, with the main task being to learn how to get in as well as come back. In the vast majority of cases, the classical scheme is used, which is a ladder, with each step down which the immersion in trance becomes deeper, while near the last step there is a door to wonderland. In order to visualize a tulpa and start having appropriate conversations with it, you need to make your brain believe in its existence.
In the event that everything was done correctly, “responses” will gradually begin to arrive, starting with emotions, followed by the addition of a voice. The continuation of the stage is the transfer of the tulpa to the real world, when, having practiced in wonderland in communicating with the tulpa, in the real world you can expect to receive a stronger response, gradually developing into visualization.
Benefits
The tulpa can express a different view of the problem and give appropriate advice, and also, having access to memory, pull out from the subconscious what has long been forgotten.
Tulpa allows you to control sensations and, if necessary, relieve stress and turn off headaches. In addition, she can act as secretary and also act as positive feedback, praising actions that are unpleasant but necessary, which is an excellent remedy for procrastination.
Problems
The most important thing that can interfere with the achievement of a result is laziness and the desire to quit everything without waiting for positive feedback. Although there is nothing terrible in stopping progress in a certain area and then promptly returning, there are only a few who return. The second problem is related to the fact that, by literally reproducing someone else’s experience, the copyist drives himself into a framework, which is quite difficult to get out of.
It may take a week to create a tulpa, or it may not be completed in a year, as the process is individual in nature, and guides that indicate clear timelines should not be taken as the ultimate truth. As another problem, one can single out doubts that delay the result, and if there are even minimal doubts about the possibility of creating a tulpa, then you should not even start, because first you need to convince yourself that the result is achievable.
