Chapter 1: An Exploration of Tulpas

My companion, Dr. Bob, and I set out on a quest to discover the wonders of existence. We delved into a practice known as Tulpamancy, where individuals intensely focus on a thought form, allowing it to manifest in dreams and reality, often perceived as 'hallucinations.' Depending on whom you ask, Tulpas may be dismissed as mere figments of imagination or viewed as tangible thought forms. Tibetan Buddhist monks lean toward the belief that these thoughts possess a real essence. Rob MacGregor's 2020 publication, Tulpas!, significantly advanced the conversation surrounding this phenomenon.

From my perspective, Tulpas are undoubtedly real, particularly in the way they influence the human nervous system, thereby affecting our psychological and emotional states. One might question whether these entities serve merely as placeholders for archetypes within our consciousness. I would contend that they are indeed more than that. For instance, Carl Jung's Red Book suggests a similar viewpoint, and Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich illustrates that his invisible advisers were more than just imagined figures; they were profoundly impactful.

The discussion around Tulpas often references another insightful work, Lucid Dreaming: Gateways to Inner Self by Robert Wagoner.

The complexity of dream figures has always intrigued me; some seem to exhibit a form of awareness and conscious intent. These figures might represent sub-personalities or archetypal energies, and their apparent autonomy raises questions about the nature of the dream world.

As someone who engages in lucid dreaming, I resonate with Wagoner’s assertion that our dreams do not contain mere 'non-player characters.' Freud posited that these figures are facets of our personalities, while Jung's theories evolved to recognize them as fully autonomous archetypes. Each entity within our dreams possesses its own narrative, making them more than just projections of our consciousness. While it's possible to conjure entities spontaneously, every thought we have is intertwined with a vast web of connections, reflecting our shared consciousness. Research indicates that our conscious experiences are preceded by a subconscious awareness, often with a time lag of 80 milliseconds to 3 seconds.

This leads to the contemplation of whether we are merely the sum of our thoughts. Could it be that the universe organizes our identities, guiding us toward a more profound awareness of reality?

All entities—be they dream figures or psychic beings—possess a degree of autonomy. I can't simply impose my will upon them in dreams. While some may engage with me willingly, others can present considerable challenges. My level of awareness directly influences my interactions; the more lucid I am, the more control I exert, but I'm still bound by the limitations of the subconscious realm.

I assert that dream characters are sentient beings in their own right. If I possess awareness, it logically follows that these dream figures must also have a degree of consciousness. If we adopt the view that all dream figures are aspects of ourselves, then by definition, they must be sentient too.

Historically, individuals diagnosed with multiple personality disorder—now termed dissociative identity disorder—exhibit other identities that can take control. This notion of 'fronting' echoes earlier interpretations of possession. Can we conclude that these fronting entities are conscious? After all, how can we determine which identity was the original? While individuals may prefer certain personalities, the soul's identity may be far more complex than a single persona. Even the most stable individuals embody various roles, and reincarnation suggests that souls can adopt multiple identities.

If I am not who I believe I am, might the world also be different from our perceptions? If the world is conscious, as many ancient cultures proposed, could this consciousness summon entities—angels, demons, or other mythological beings—to maintain balance among humans? Could these figures simply be the Tulpas of the Earth itself?

Can Tulpas be expressed through the collective unconscious? Might trees have their own Tulpas? Do dolphins and whales employ Tulpas as avatars to influence human behavior, perhaps advocating for cleaner oceans? Do these non-human intelligences need to provoke conflict to gain our attention? The unfolding of wars resembles the nightmares of the sea's inhabitants, suggesting we are all in a collective slumber.

When considering the intricate biological systems that sustain life, one might ponder whether one species calls another into existence. For instance, did plants create pollinators through thought forms? Perhaps these thought forms evolved and gave rise to new life, demonstrating that our realities are interconnected.

Have you ever driven from one location to another without recalling the journey? This isn't the sleep of REM; it resembles the trance state of hypnosis. It illustrates that we've mastered certain tasks, enabling our minds to wander.

I find it captivating to think of humans as the Tulpas of trees. This belief aligns with my ancient druidic instincts, advocating for the preservation of forests. In this view, early humans were mere thoughts conceived by trees to care for the natural world. As humanity strayed from these original thought forms, we became increasingly isolated, losing touch with our origins.

Interestingly, near-death experiences suggest we are welcomed back to the garden of thought—a realm filled with vibrant colors beyond our current perception.

The Universe itself may possess a soul. A recent article, A Primordial "Magnetic Soul" Pervades the Universe, discusses the pervasive influence of magnetism throughout existence. Electromagnetic forces link galaxies, and recent discoveries indicate that our solar system resides within a magnetic tunnel. The term 'soul' may be metaphorical, yet it invites profound contemplation.

While the author may lean toward poetic interpretation, it’s essential to consider the idea that he, too, is a Tulpa of the Universe, conveying its message. The concept of a magnetic universe parallels the Force depicted in Star Wars.

Magnetism exhibits behaviors akin to living organisms. Although the analogy has its limits—such as the absence of DNA—it still raises intriguing questions about the nature of life itself. Can life exist without DNA? We utilize magnetism to generate sound and transmit information, suggesting that life adapts to these forces to navigate its environment.

Does life emerge on planets once they become magnetically active? Once sparked, life serves as the 'memory' for that soul. Lee Cronin posits that life is the Universe's way of creating memories.

Earth functions like a dynamo, radiating energy that influences life. Research from the Global Consciousness Project indicates that events can affect reality before they manifest. Is this evidence of a greater consciousness? Does Earth have a subconscious that preempts events, akin to the human mind's delay in awareness?

The interactions between the sun's and Earth's magnetic fields are more complex than previously thought. Scientists are exploring the potential of X-points as portals that could facilitate rapid travel between the sun and Earth.

The article A Primordial "Magnetic-Soul" Pervades the Universe highlights that magnetic fields can behave almost like living entities, capable of harnessing energy for self-maintenance. This analogy has its limitations, particularly regarding genetic replication, yet it prompts deeper inquiries into the nature of existence.

There is a universal force that seems to organize both organic and inorganic entities, challenging the notion of entropy. As society focuses on divisions, we overlook the interconnectedness of all living beings. The evidence of our shared existence becomes more apparent as we witness environmental destruction.

Buddhist teachings suggest profound truths: how we treat dream characters reflects our treatment of ourselves, animals, neighbors, and even adversaries.

Our connections are more profound than we often recognize. Science, once skeptical of a dynamic electromagnetic universe, now provides evidence of magnetic links across solar systems and galaxies. Could there be a magnetic web that enables individual consciousness to persist? Do these phenomena explain remote viewing experiences? Are the tunnels described by near-death experiencers analogous to X-points in magnetic fields?

As we ponder the vast network of energy connecting us all, we may be on the cusp of a new understanding of consciousness.

Walt Whitman's vision of the "body electric" encapsulates the concept of soul. This notion predates his work and resonates with the ancient understanding of a creator God. Do we inhabit a conscious simulation where all avatars possess inherent sentience? Given the chemical and electrical activity in our brains, the parallels between the universe's structure and neural networks become increasingly compelling.

Is it reasonable to argue for a conscious universe? If my dream characters are conscious because they originate from my awareness, then it is not far-fetched to consider that the universe itself is conscious, and we are merely its Tulpas. Consciousness, it seems, is the foundation of all existence.

Are Tulpas striving to dominate the universe? It's less about conquest and more about the universe organizing its structures, creating Tulpas that engage in the grand experiment of life.
