What is a Tulpa?
A Tulpa is a type of entity that one creates in their mind. It runs parallel to you independently and even your own consciousness. It is capable of having its own free will, emotions, and memories, being a most mindful creation.
One wishing to create a Tulpa will envision this entity in their mind by using one's own creativity to fashion it as a person, character, animal, or such. You can even envision a particular setting or environment in which it lives in. You can visit your Tulpa in its own setting or call upon it to visit you. The possibilities are endless.
The process to create a Tulpa can be time-consuming but worth the wait. One must decide the purpose of the Tulpa. Factors to be considered are its purpose, location, form, and ethics.
Why Create a Tulpa?
Most people create Tulpas for companionship or other reasons for creating such an amazing entity. Those may include: inspiration, problem-solving, emotional support, and a vessel to tap into one's own higher self.
One may decide to give complete control of their body to the Tulpa. In this case, you must have complete faith in what you've created to allow it to function in such a way.
You may sense your Tulpa even before you begin communication with it. You can sense their feelings and emotions, just as an empath has the ability to sense and feel the emotions of others.
Tulpas are not malevolent in any way as some people believe them to be. Some view them as demons or beings with magical powers that can influence your mind and body. It's all safe and fun when you stay in the realm of respect for your Tulpa.
My Very Own Tulpa
I began research on Tulpas as I was writing a paranormal trilogy and wanted to seek higher knowledge of goddess magic for my book. I found out that a lot of writers do create Tulpas for this very reason.
I delve into it after giving it much thought.
So with that came the creation of Nina Santos, a high Curendera who was an integral part in helping my main character gain control of transcending into another dimension. This was heavy stuff- even for me. I had envisioned my Tulpa as an older Hispanic woman, well-versed in the art of high healing and ancient magic that was used for centuries. She was one of my guides throughout the entire writing process. Once the writing began it was as if Nina took over my writing, almost like what we know as 'automatic writing'. There was nothing destructive about it but was most enlightening. I felt as though she was there to help me as well as I have struggled with out-of-body experiences most of my life. I was able to carry her throughout my trilogy and felt she was in fact the only way I was able to complete this task.
Have I had any more contact with Nina?
No, I have not, but I do think of her and have thanked her for the assistance she provided me to complete the Willow Wood Women trilogy.
In conclusion, as a writer I feel that a Tulpa can be created to fit into the world in which your story takes place, being fiction or non-fiction. It can be any shape or form in which to aid you in your journey.
So if you have created a Tulpa, or are thinking of creating one, I'd love to hear from you.
