    Research Note Tracking the Tulpa Exploring the “Tibetan” Origins of a Contemporary Paranormal Idea Natasha L. Mikles and Joseph p. Laycock Since the 1970s, tulpas have been a feature of Western ؛ABSTRACT paranormal lore. In contemporain paranormal discourse, a tulpa is a being that begins in the imagination but acquires a tangible reality and sentience. Tulpas are created either through a deliberate act of individ- ual will or unintentionally from the thoughts of numerous people. The in Magic (־tulpa was first described by Alexandra David-Néel (18681969 and Mystery in Tibet (1929) and is still regarded as a Tibetan concept. However, the idea of the tulpa is more indebted to Theosophy than to Tibetan Buddhism. This article explores the murky origins of the tulpa to show how the concept emerged from a dialogue between East and West in which Theosophical metaphysics were combined with terms adapted from Tibetan Buddhism.

A tulpa is entirely sentient and in control of its opinions, feelings, movements. - FAQ Man This is not a “guide” in the traditional sense; instead, it is a collection of others’ guides in one easy-to-download PDF. I hope that it represents a good cross section of current tulpaforcing guides, with an emphasis on the information a newcomer needs to get started.

Dhardo Rimpoche (with the exception of Mandala Ofering, translation by Michael Hookham). See Precious Teachers Chapter Eight. 1. Going For Refuge First of all, the Going for Refuge, which is the basis for all the Yanas, Great and Small. [One should visualize] in the pure expanse of the sky, on a rainbow-coloured cloud, a [gigantic] lotus with three tiers of petals; [and] on the calyx of the lotus Guru Padmasambhava, the embodiment of all the Buddhas, in a mass of light. His expression is smiling. Below, on the [frst tier of] lotus [petals], the other Lamas. Lower down [on the second tier], the Four Orders of Tantric Deities. Yet lower [on the third tier], the throng of dakinis and Dharmapalas. On the four sides of the lotus are four more lotuses. On the front [visualize] Sakyamuni and the other Buddhas of the [three] times and [ten] directions. To the right [of Guru Padmasambhava] the company of Bodhisattvas such as Avalokitesvara; behind, the Sacred Scriptures; and to the left the Arahants, Sariputra and the rest. In the sky, gods and goddesses are making oferings. In front [one should visualize] oneself, together with all sentient beings. 'From now onwards, until the attainment of Buddhahood, with great reverence of body, speech and mind, I go for refuge [to Guru Padmasambhava, etc.]' Thus thinking, one should say aloud, ‘Om Ah Hum. To the best of all refuges I go’.

Among the Sarmapas, the Gelugpasc, in particular, hold the theoretical view of the Madhyamaka Prasangika School, which pertains to the Mahayana, to be supreme among Buddhist views.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy or a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph ami reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify narkings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating ad: accnt pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black m irk, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacc nt frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large s heet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

  • Thoughtforms
    Thoughtforms The Materialization of Sustained Ideas Emanations of Mind and Spirit Thoughts, ideas, and concepts are tremendously powerful, influential, energetic forces. Thoughts that are clothed with intense emotion are exponentially powerful. Thoughts that are clear, distinct, strong and sustained by focus and concentration take on a life of their own. These thoughts and repeated thought patterns become thoughtforms. Thoughts which are systematically sustained by groups of people over a period of time come to life as thoughtforms in the collective consciousness of the group. Have you ever… …Had strong ideas about the desired outcome you envisioned for a story you wanted to write, a special event you planned to convene, a canvas on which you were painting, or a room you were renovating? You held the concept, the strong vision, the idea firmly in the forefront of your mind. You constantly brought the idea up in your mind’s eye and methodically fleshed it out until it was objectified, externalized, and finally physically manifested. Have you ever… …Sat in a room for a time that was filled with likeminded people whose thoughts were collectively trained on one goal, and felt the palpable group intent? The group created and shared an energetic field, a collective thoughtform. These are examples of the deliberate, human creation of a thoughtform. The shape of our empowered self, our objectified animated existential fear(s), the shadow material sequestered in the basement of our subconscious, our addictions, our inner child-selves, are all examples of thoughtforms. A sustained thoughtform, healthy or unhealthy, which is invisible to third dimensional (3-D) “conventional,” ocular vision, lives as an energetic form in our biofield.
