#tulpa system

[sophieinwonderland]

Questions for Sophie and Ghost. The first one for him: Do you ever feel guilty for identifying with the body and being able to go by your name when your systemmates cannot? In the real world, people get to experience you as yourself but your systemmates can't have that in most circumstances. Now for Sophie: Do these circumstances upset you? How do you cope? Our body's frontrunner always feels bad about this fact. Systemmates have to mask as HER irl for safety reasons because she is in meatspace most of the time and as such people are used to her personality/name/mannerisms/etc. She---and all of us---wish there was a world where we didn't have to hide themselves.

Ghost: I've felt guilty for Soph not getting much time sometimes. But I try not to feel guilt for things that are out of my hands. I feel bad that she doesn't have a body of her own to be part of the world, but not guilt.

Sophie: It is what it is.

To be honest, we don't really have many IRL social ties outside of the family. And that's something we're totally fine with. Maybe our brain is wired weird, but we don't have much desire to make physical friends. Aside from that, I feel my social needs are met on the internet.

There have been times when I wished I could interact with the family a bit. But then, it's my own fears holding me back. The family knows I'm here. And they seem accepting enough. I'm just not comfortable with it. My host has severe social anxiety when dealing with other people, and it feels a bit like I got something like that with his family.

So the only people outside of the system I want to interact with as myself, I could... if I were stronger. But I'm not.

If I'm honest, I sometimes feel like a hypocrite. Because for all the time I spend trying to spread awareness of plurality so that we can eventually get to that world where plurals won't have to hide anymore... I don't think I would be brave enough to be fronting and be myself even then.

But with that said, I think I'm comfortable with how things are for the most part.

...

As for you all, I just want to add that singlets are probably not as observant as you think they are. Even if you have to mask and use her name, unless they know you're plural, you can probably get away with a lot before they notice anything off. And if they do say anything about it, it's easy to brush it off, and they'll probably accept whatever explanation you give. "I'm just not feeling like myself" is a fun one. 😜

You don’t need a system name, you don’t need a system aesthetic, you don’t need a collective identity. You don’t need to put your whole system– or any aspect of it– online in order to be a system.

You can just exist, you don’t need to make every aspect of your system public. You’re still a system even without a system name or collective pronouns or a system blog.

Hey, you! Yeah, you, the person reading this. Are you a system? Are you plural? Are you a tulpa? Are you questioning if you're plural?

If so, then we hope you have an amazing week ❤️

The tulpa discourse is so weird?

Sorry but the vast amount of tulpamancers aren’t even on tumblr? It’s dumb to change a term that connects us to research, media, tv episodes, Ted talks, huge communities, resources, etc. There are different languages that use a derived version of ‘Tulpa’ such as ‘タルパ’ (Tarupa) for the Japanese community.

Just because because a handful of already anti endo people/systems said that it was cultural appropriation, even when there are Tibetan Buddhists that don’t think it’s cultural appropriation. It’s not even the original word, is a mashup of Tulku and Sprul-pa. It’s not a word that existed, and the practice of tulpamancy has almost nothing to do with Tulku or Sprul-pa.

So say if we banded together and tried to change the term like suggested. How many tulpa systems would actually change. Probably not too many, just the tulpa systems on tumblr. Can we really get the majority of systems who use other websites like Reddit, discord, forums, etc to change? What about websites like Tulpa.info and Tulpa.io? Do we have to abandon those too?

So let me get this straight, we lose websites, major parts of the community, representation, research and almost all resources, for what? To please the anti endos who already don’t like us? Sorry but I’d rather make anti endos mad. I usually prefer to be respectful even to people with different opinions but not when that means dividing a whole community.

I don’t usually post about syscourse but I think this is a really dumb argument.

(Also since this is a syscourse post, anti endos are allowed to interact)

Crergenic

[PT: Crergenic /END PT]

A system or a headmate that’s originated from believing, having faith or having the certainty of, itself makes it own existence, even if have faith or believe before it happens.

For example, believing that your head will generate a headmate makes your system get one, having faith that your headmate is cool makes it act cool, having certainty that your system will be modified, affect reality, and your thoughts and your own system change based on your force of belief.

Crer is from Portuguese meaning to believe

Tulpa hosts vs System hosts

[Tulpa hosts vs System hosts]

So I wanna talk about a bit of a clash in terminology between the tulpamancy and other plural communities, cuz I feel like this might confuse a LOT of people out of the loop. So here's the thing: "host" as general plural/system terminology is totally different than how the tulpamancy community uses the word!! So here's the jist.

Host (plural term): The person running outerworld life most prominently, doing the daily routine usually, just the person that's fronting the most and subsequently doing that stuff. The host isn't always the "original" or "core", and a system can have multiple hosts or no hosts at all.

Host (tulpamancy term): The creator of a tulpa, AKA the "tulpamancer". This is in basically any context!! If a singlet makes a tulpa, they become the tulpa's host. If the host of a system makes a tulpa, they're also the host of that tulpa. If a non-host system member creates a tulpa, they're the host of that tulpa even if they're not the host of the system. If a tulpa decides to create another tulpa, they're both a tulpa and the host of the tulpa they created!

The relationship between a tulpa and their host is pretty deeply personal, and hard to describe to anybody on the outside. When differentiating between the two, I suggest using the phrase "tulpa host" to make it clear which is which. Being a tulpa host is a unique and different experience to being a system host!

Anti endo community is very harmful that’s a fact, but it also can be harmful with the argument that not everyone remembers their trauma and that’s the reason for endogenic systems to exist.

I got very worried about having partial DID in the past, and that I couldn’t cure myself from my plurality,

My psychiatrist had to explain for me why I don’t have DID, and my plurality is caused by delusions of mind control

It’s harmful to assume which conditions people have!

Western Tulpamancy is so fundamentally different from Buddhist Emanations that the two practices are only similar in name

This is the opinion of a Tibetan Buddhist who is quoted as being a "student of the words of Sogyal Rinpoche, student of Avalokitesvara, student of Kṣitigarbha," and a student of their own emanation (tulpa), Dharma Yokeyodasampa.

On May 11, 2022, this thread on Reddit was opened as an AMA for any member of r/Tulpas to ask questions regarding the Tibetan Buddhist practice of emanation.

The Buddhist (who did not give their own name or pronouns) has answered a couple questions regarding the use of the word "tulpa" as the tulpamancy/tulpa system community uses it. Screenshots of questions and answers with transcripts to follow. Emphasis added by myself for clarity, however, the quotes themselves remain unchanged.

[TRANSCRIPT:

How do you feel about this community, and by extension, other plural communities?

Answer: I have understood the western Tulpamancy culture for awhile, I’ve been on the old forums but I haven’t really interacted much with the community. I don’t view it negatively, as long as you live your life and treat all sentient beings with kindness, including your tulpa, I don’t see an issue.

How does your emanation/tulpa compare to the headmates of this community? Do you treat them differently in any way? How would you describe your relationship?

Answer: I believe the main difference between Dharma Yokeyodasampa and others, is his vows. He is an ascetic, by choice, and chooses to spend most of his time in my company or meditating in our mental space, which is the likeness of a monastery. He doesn’t indulge much in my world, other than discussing day to day troubles. He is like any other person I would guess, though he is deeply rooted in his spiritual practice, with most of the day up to 8 hours spent in meditation and repetition. Our relationship is like that of brothers, though we consider the other one his Teacher. Much can be learned from both our experiences, and much can be learned of ourselves by discussing ourselves.

How do you feel about this community using the term "tulpa"?

Answer: considering that, from what I understand, tulpa in the western sense is a different culture than that of Tibetan or other shared origin, I don’t see a specific claim to the word. I don’t mind it. It’s fascinating how such a concept has travelled and deviated from its original sources and grew into a practice distinct in culture and community.

/END TRANSCRIPT]

Considering the Buddhist in question had been in these circles for a long period of time before finally announcing themselves, they obviously have a good background of knowledge on the tulpamancy community as a whole. They do not see the community negatively. Their specific quote saying, "[the concept of tulpamancy] has travelled and deviated from its original sources and grew into a practice distinct in culture and community" suggests to me that they (and, by extension, more than likely other Tibetan Buddhists) see the key differences between Buddhist Emanations and Western Tulpamancy.

This distinction also becomes clear in the quote, "tulpa in the western sense is a different culture than that of Tibetan or other shared origin," so one can conclude we are not even pretending to practice the same emanation as Buddhists.

[TRANSCRIPT

Please be sure to “DM” me and I will retrieve some good reads for you.

In my personal understanding, not all tulpa are Bodhisattva or other enlightened beings. I believe western tulpas are incomplete variations or effects derived from Deity Yogic practices. That is to say, visualizing and maintaining a practice of meditating on -and with- the Buddhas/chosen deity or enlightened being, is meant to achieve an end goal such as purification, and realization of the true state of bliss.

While western tulpa seem to be made as companions with a secular division.

/END TRANSCRIPT]

This further places a distinction between Buddhist and western tulpa; Buddhist tulpa are created with a specific end goal in mind, whereas western tulpa are usually non-spiritual companions.

In conclusion, and to summarize:

Western tulpamancy and the practice of Tibetan Buddhist emanation are similar in basic method and name, but that is where the similarities stop

Western tulpa tend to be secular (non-religious) and psychological, in contrast with Tibetan Buddhist tulpa

Tibetan Buddhist tulpa are made with a specific end goal of enlightenment and/or purification, whereas Western tulpa are usually created with the intent of being companions

Tulpa simply means "an emanation" in this context and is a broad term

Cultural appropriation is not what is happening because we are not claiming our practice of Western tulpamancy to be the same as the advanced Deity Yoga of Tibetan Buddhism

(note: we are a non-buddhist, white system. we are not the authority on buddhism. our thoughts come from listening to buddhist systems, our own research, and our desire to uplift and listen to marginalized groups.)

it’s honestly shocking to us to see the significant pushback on tumblr against changing “tulpamancy” language.

we saw a post a while ago where a user claimed being anti-tulpa is the same as being anti-endo…

and like, that is not true at all.

using tulpamancy language is racist at worst, culturally appropriative at best. many asian, buddhist systems have spoken out about the term, explaining that it is in fact the terminology, not the practice itself, that is harmful.

and yet, instead of listening to marginalized voices, instead of taking to heart the words of those actually affected, people seem to just… double down?

like yes, it will be difficult to change the language, and it’s true that there is already research out there using tulpa terminology. but to claim that it is impossible to change these words is wrong. these folks just don’t want to do the work, they don’t want to get called out or face their own internal bigotry, and it’s easier to claim “it’s too late to change the language” than actually try to do something about it.

believe it or not, it is possible to change for the better and to encourage positive growth within your own communities. language changes and evolves, and it is entirely possible to shift the language you use in order to respect marginalized groups who are affected by it.

to claim otherwise shows a lack of faith in yourself and your community, and an unwillingness to listen to marginalized folks who are directly affected by your choice of language. please do some self-reflection, and strive for positive growth.

so what language can you use instead?

our partner system (who used to call themselves tulpa/tulpamancer) have begun using both thoughtform and willogenic/willomate labels. it’s okay for “thoughtform” to function both as an umbrella term and a specific label! we firmly believe these terms can catch on and replace tulpamancy language everywhere, if folks can commit to making that shift.

you’re also welcome to coin your own terms for your system specifically. there are tons of community based terms out there created by systems to describe their experiences. there’s nothing wrong with creating your own language and using that for your system!

either of these would be better than continuing to use tulpa language. thank you for reading, and take care!
