When I have a close enough friend that I trust and talk to regularly I create a mental version of them in my head that I simulate conversations with. Generally when I have a question I am considering asking them, I'll simulate how the conversation with go with the in my head version and sometimes get a satisfactory enough answer from it that I end up not even asking the real version. When I stop talking to them irl regularly or have a falling out the simulated version will almost immediately disappear. I also can't just conjure one out of thin air, it has to be based on a person I talk to regularly.Is this making a tulpa or not? Do you guys do this?
>>42140715that is indeed an egregore
>>42140715yeah that's a tulpa, because the ghost is the free willed agent that's firmly bound to a body. i think the tulpa of a person is called a "shade", idk. but when someone dies, their shade - which is largely shaped by how everyone else perceived that person - becomes a mortal thoughtform spirit that must desperately struggle to be remembered and stay relevant.i believe this is the remainder of someone that will appear in media to live out dreams. like the shade of a person who wanted to become a guitarist would manifest as a character on a tv show who was a guitarist, and very strongly resemble the real person, and have a weirdly strong energy to them.picrel: some mediocre princess cartoon survived by being funded by mormons. the only 2 lively things in it are what i SWEAR are the shades of real people. the rest is just toon junk, but the movies seem "haunted" in a peculiar way. guess these 2 people just wanted some solid mormon princess toons for kids, but this is where their shades remain.
