ThoughtForms, UTOPIA and Tulpa
(The Image: by Tony Stanovich)
My Friend Bette and I were talking about the Boxes that we put ourselves into and help each other out of in our 'Sohbet' (see previous Post on Sohbet) These boxes are our 'World Views', the way that reality makes sense to us at any given time. Those worldviews change and we destroy the old image, to be replaced by a new one that fits more closely our evolving identities. It is a sport to us now, and we are adept players who make sure that we always 'hit the ball back over the net' and wait for a response. The world does respond in its nooshpere of ideas, meme, and Tulpa. We have over the years developed a theory that I term TULPA, which comes from Tibetian mystical thought and its language.
Basically the traditional definition of a tulpa is a generated enity/energyform that is created solely with the power of the mind, usually nothing was drawn to 'conjure' this being up, no image made, just the power of the concentrated mind. With proper visualization, concentration by the Creator of a tulpa, At a certain point the tulpa can become it's own 'living enity/lifeform. Once this point is reached the Creator will have to use conciderable force to undo what is made. They are know to get away from their 'masters' and wreak havoc before being subdued and ''ReAbsorbed" back into the body/mind of the creator.. Putting the genie back in the bottle is the classic story of this happening. The Genie a western image of a Tulpa,,, created by wishing,,, very strongly.
I tend to see Modern and Ancient History in terms of Tulpa.. History unfolds, according to the dreaming of Mankind. (And if a certain song is right, we are the dream of the dolphin!?!) History is rampant with proof of the validity of my idea of tulpa. It borrows from Jung of course and the Collective Unconsciousness of Humanity brewing up in its Shadow self the seeds for its own Transformation or Destruction. Which are we dreaming?
So anyway, it could be thought of like this, a progression of Collective MindMares(Like a nightmare, only worse, it is what is becomes the 'real world). A thought enters into mankinds vocabulary of reasoning. It is tossed around by its creator, fleshed out and given more thought juice to become a THOUGHT FORM.... and maybe spoken to friends, who promote the thought as say a religion. The Idea is swept up and more minds feed into what is now a MEME spreading like a virus of the mind across the region, country, then their 'god' willing THE WORLD. (World domination is always big with runaway Tulpa)
Now, in human history with over 6.5 Billion people on the planet, and minds a shoving and pushing their concepts, with worship, chants, prayers, love, devotion, hate , suicide martyrs and the Energies are reved up a notch to what I think of as TULPA,, these Ideas that once were just thoughts, then Thoughtforms, to Meme, have become Living things that require food,, and human brains,minds, bodies, are nurishment to a Frankenstein gone mad. My classic example of this is Armeggedon.
This End of the World belief is rampant in many religions, it is a basic,,,, there was a beginning so there has to be an end. Armeggedon with the hordes of the Anti Christ has become the symbolic image of this Crazy state of affairs that humans do not seem to understand.....
If you think of something long and hard enough, then put, blood, guts and soul into it,, you damn may well create the REAL LIFE image that you have developed in the Collective mind. As you think so it goes. When I visited Patmos in Greece, where John had his vision of the Revelations, the cave he was in made me sick. It affected me very different that the worshipful people there, I felt 2000 years worth of Apocalyptical Thinking smacking me across the psychic behind. An image that MUST BE PLAYED OUT so the Messiah will come and Save us all. A veritable psychic breakdown that must occur to fulfil ''prophesy''. These images have soaked in the bloodbath of our collective minds,, as if this is the only way out...
We all admit that the world is crazy. A crazy,, albeit beautiful at times place,, obviously now run by the insane that used to be tucked into our collective Assylum Noosphere of our minds.
I seriously believe that thoughts are things and we have not met our Collective Shadowselves in ways that allow for Transformation, so the other option is destruction of the Self. Our Collective Shadow Now has a life of its own and its one bad ass nightmare that is coming true daily,, just watch the news. We inch ourselves to pay obeyance to Tulpa that we have created. And the Tulpa themself are fighting trying to win adherents to their foodstuff supply systems (ie religions, political parties, hell even Coke Cola is a Meme gone mad). They have to feed, and I believe that the Aztec human sacrifice image applies here. The GODS Demand it. Obviously, humans need some sort of help here, we are quickly destroying ourselves in multitudes of ways. And only one Tulpa will come out in the end ,, on Top. It seems unlikely that humanity will understand this deliema and TRANSFORM the Tulpa back into mindstuff. So, unlikely that we will have an intervention by Deities, Messiah or whatnot, and the hopes of having the sense to call for a collective forum for humanities crisis intervention by way of group therapy ,,, also unlikely.. what to do.
I know that I am a heretic when I say this, but in my mind many religions have become runaway Tulpa that do not resemble the soft ThoughtForm image of their childhoods. They rape and pillage the minds of the Sheep, who Flock in mindless droves, worshipful to MindStuff created by humans,,, constantly putting valuable mind energy into their existance. To me this is sacrilage. The human capacity to create Reality out of the workings of our Minds, and this,,,, this is what we get,,,, the images you see on TV are the results !!! Where have we went wrong? Morals, ethics, all lay meaningless beside the dead carcass of human dreams of Utopia. Where is Utopia in all of this, is she still alive in the hearts of men and women who think that civilized minds can create a world of fulness and well being for all. Where is this Tulpa? Utopia is scoffed at and only to be expected when you are dead and in 'Heaven" ,, which of course is another Tulpa,, laying in wait for all those expectant souls. I am scared of those Pearly Gates.
Why have we allowed the words Humanist to become a 'dirty' word of derisive intent. Will the Federation of Humanity ever take hold for the sake of our collective future? Is Utopia dead and unable to lift her head anymore due to the malicious backbiting of Tulpa gone mad, sitting in physical form of our churches, the Vatican, Mecca and the Temple Mount ( Just to name the big 3)? Are these things we hold sacred the very things which will be our undoing? Do the Gods still munch on human hearts? Is there still a Tulpa that might be tamed into our dream of Utopia?
Is the Idea of Utopia DEAD and has a Tulpa Ate it?
Just babbling, I know.................

Humanist is a lovely word, and that surreal picture is a reminder of what it can mean, and where it can take us, even if only inside the world of fantasy.
