Well, we've only just started. You want to know what exactly you're dealing with here.

But expect it very soon indeed.

great i look forward to the rest,

good luck!

Nice thread, but should this be in beyond dreaming?

Taken from one of your links above...

"A tulpa is, in Tibetan mysticism, a being or object which is created through sheer willpower alone. In other words, it is a materialized thought that has taken physical form (a thoughtform).[1] Thoughtform is a meme given common currency within the discourses of Majick, Chaos Magic and reality hacking."

Reality hacking?



Morpheus approves.

ROFL.

This is intriguing though, but not - I'm sure - anything supernatural.
Basically it's just dividing a small part your brain into a seperate entity (JUST like the daemons in His Dark Materials). I think.
So those links... maybe not quite accurate.

I've had a deep interest in Dissociative Identity Disorder (commonly known as multiple personalities) and have racked my brain about ways to induce this intentionally. If you have verifiable results I'd like to see them/try out your methods. (I posted a comment saying basically the same thing on the blog).

Perhaps you can be a test subject....

Independent verification from someone I've never heard of would be nice.

Hmm...is there a reason that you are interested in trying to create this state intentionally?

I don't know if it is such a good idea to try to give yourself a mental illness.

While that sounds sorta cool, that's not what's happening in this. It's not anything mystical at all. It's an experiment in the subconcious, and all the resulting effects. I did originally post this in Beyond Dreaming, and if it was like that it would be right at home there. But we're keeping it on a scientific base, so it belongs here instead.

Yes, pretty much. Daemons are a good analogy.
