Tulpa.........

[adonis777]

Tulpa (Wylie: sprul-pa; Sanskrit: nirmita[1] and nirmā[2]) is a Vajrayana, Bonpo and Tibetan Buddhist upaya concept, discipline and teaching tool. The term was first rendered into English as 'Thoughtform' by Evans-Wentz (1954: p.29):

Inasmuch as the mind creates the world of appearances, it can create any particular object desired. The process consists of giving palpable being to a visualization, in very much the same manner as an architect gives concrete expression in three dimensions to his abstract concepts after first having given them expression in the two-dimensions of his blue-print.

The Tibetans call the One Mind's concretized visualization the Khorva (Hkhorva), equivalent to the Sanskrit Sangsara; that of an incarnate deity, like the Dalai or Tashi Lama, they call a Tul-ku (Sprul-sku), and that of a magician a Tul-pa (Sprul-pa), meaning a magically produced illusion or creation. A master of yoga can dissolve a Tul-pa as readily as he can create it; and his own illusory human body, or Tul-ku, he can likewise dissolve, and thus outwit Death.

Sometimes, by means of this magic, one human form can be amalgamated with another, as in the instance of the wife of Marpa, guru of Milarepa, who ended her life by incorporating herself in the body of Marpa¨.

Ooh... I'm interested now... I've heard of tulpas before but I don't really know that much... Aren't they sorta like egregores?

Yes there are similarities there.

Everything manifests in the astral realm before it does in the physical realm.

The astral realm is the realm of desire and emotion.

The following painting was made by an artist as he was watching someone play the organ at the church.

The organist was inspired and his thoughforms resonated above the church creating a fabulous display of shapes and forms.

Thoughts have two effects: "a radiating vibration and a floating form".

Thought forms are divided into three classes:

That which takes the image of the thinker.
That which takes the image of some material object.
That which takes a form entirely its own, expressing its inherent qualities in the matter which it draws round it.

That is a cool picture... Before reading about it, I just had to look at the colors and shapes and thought of music...
