>>11145620A tulpa is just a though form, a parallel personality maybe if you want to see it like that, if you're a writer who visualizes his characters you're basically doing the same thing.
You don't have a single definite personality anyway, it's always a mishmash of situational variations, the only reason you feel like you feel a continuity to who you are is thanks to memories acting as a root to your main personality. But even that, if you pay attention, still slowly changes over time.
The memory acting as roots is why you have to isolate a person from his usual environment if you want to brainwash them.
I personally make great use of thought-forms for my novel, it's a great exercise to train you flexibility of mind and gain deeper insight into the characters you want to depict.
I also sporadically carry mental conversation with a semi-permanent thought-form, or tulpa if you want the meme, because I want to try training it in order to get second opinions.
It's just like roleplaying I guess or even just imagining how someone you know would react to something.
Why would it not be real? You're already packed full of different personalities that you probably don't even realize.
If you want a tulpa don't do it for schizo delusional reasons, do it for gaining greater flexibility and insight, so you can grow as a person.
And let me be clear, there's no moral dilemma to "killing off" a though-form, you've been killing off your own previous personalities all along, do you feel bad about that? No, it's called growing up, so don't be a faggot and do what must be done.
