stuff from Mummychunk.
I didn't repose anything. Twas my clone.
Clone...or...Tulpa?
A tulpa is a mental entity created through focused meditation and visualization, acting as an autonomous, sentient "imaginary friend" or companion sharing the creator's mind. Originating from Tibetan mysticism, modern "tulpamancy" often treats these as psychological constructs with independent thoughts, emotions, and personalities, rather than mystical apparitions.
Key Characteristics
Autonomy: They possess their own free will, emotions, and memories.
Sentience: Practitioners believe they are sentient, acting in parallel to the host's consciousness.
Visualization: Tulpas can be "imposed," allowing the creator to perceive them in the physical world (auditory or visual).
Development: Created through "tulpamancy," a process of disciplined
focus to make an imagined being sentient.
