Thought forms/Tulpas

I think that intent can take many forms. The Slenderman myth was created within the context of an internet forum that specialized in Photoshop contests. The original submission just happened to be interesting enough such that people began to add to the idea. The next level was when others began to incorporate the idea, as though it was real, into their own creative efforts. Critical mass was achieved when those with no idea of the origin of Slenderman and who did not employ critical thinking were exposed to the idea and began to actually "see" manifestations of Slenderman in the physical world. That is all to say that the original intent was not to create a Slenderman myth as it was ultimately manifested. Instead, the intention itself was incremental, taking a different form at each level.

The concept of Tulpas has always intrigued me. Essentially it's an intentional concentration of energy around a person, place or thing. My theory is that a tulpa or thought form would explain poltergeist activity and certain cursed objects. However, at the same time it's also a wide open door for inhuman entities.

Similar to how someone using a Ouija board thinks they are talking to Aunt Marie but it's really something claiming to be Aunt Marie. Someone might try to conjure up a six foot tall invisible rabbit, but what appears may or may not be their doing. There are stories of Tulpas changing and taking on a life of their own, which makes me wonder if they were true thought forms to begin with. If that six foot rabbit starts to feel less Harvey and more Donnie Darko then that means something has gone very wrong.

Yeah,I don't these things are thought forms at all,I think they are just random entities brought out from who who knows where,but it maybe from the darkest part of you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it would be frowned upon in the karma dept.....lol.....buuuut....lol. my point being is that this is energy based, which is neither good nor bad until paired with intent....so theoretically anything that can be done for good has an opposite method for malice, the good and evil, yin and yang, etc.... That's why you have to visualize all possible consequences for any action you may try to bring about.....some ppl think of all this stuff as simple parlor tricks when the repercussions of choices can have lasting effects.

How is this different from a guardian angel ? Or a multi dimensional entity? . I wonder how Buddhist priest & teacher uses tulpas or the culture works with spirit/ works within spirit in a shared mind with Buddhist teachers trained in Tibet / within the tibetan linage Buddhist priest teacher: student learning & guidance.

How is this different from a guardian angel ? Or a multi dimensional entity? Is this a phrase implying guardian angels are not real but generated soley by the familys existant culture, or the Holy spirit or Holy when one receives confirmation is just a tulpa generated by the thoughts and culture of the congregant and congregation? But I thought they were real / denizens of this earth plane or near by visits ala Angel.

Are you referencing linages in martial arts? Or is that a spirit thing? Just being outside of your own culture baliwick may make mormons call buddhist angels names or catholics call mormon prayer inadquate lol right or protestants call etc etc and the word demon is cast around alot, usually refering to someone elses saint, miracle, or their angel message or holy ghost . vocabulary ! its all imposing a very awful connotation on everyone else usually.

So calling someone elses guardian angel a tolpa appears to be either minimizing their religion or maximizing human potential. But this wasnt a out guardian angels, was it.

I wonder if tulpas could be used in therapy to reorganize someone. I wonder how Buddhist priest & teacher uses tulpas or the culture works with spirit/ works within spirit in a shared mind with Buddhist teachers trained in Tibet / within the tibetan linage Buddhist priest teacher: student learning & guidance.
