What is a Tulpa?

What is a Tulpa?

This project was done for my Design class at RISD but I genuinely believe this needs to be talked about more. This video can help you start your research if you are considering making a tulpa, or it can be something to send to someone else who has no idea what a tulpa is. As someone with one, it feels like I've had to give a whole speech every time I tell someone about it to help them understand. Please share this video!

Since the semester is ending soon, I'm hoping to release a fun little Good Omens video soon. This doesn't mean my content is changing entirely, I just intended to make this one video about Tulpas.

Love y'all. :)

Accurate video. It’s hard to find good videos on tulpas that aren’t spiritual or horror videos.

I be doing this in the shower thinking about how I could've won an argument 7 years ago

Man I have few universes in my head with LOTS of tulpas and they all have diffent relationships with me, each other, different plots etc. Etc. Wonderful experience, because I evolved my imagination to the point where I can sometimes exchange with them, I mean take some of them POVs. I don't do it with my faves, but I do it with some, because they live in an interesting place in the universe where I cannot access as me, so taking their POV is like watching a side story or special episode of something. It always feels soo real, I know it's my imagination, but I love it.
I'm not lonely or anything and my life is pretty succesful. I just like having this imagination and these tulpas are awesome, for real.

i think this is genuinely one of my favorite videos on this topic so far.

i first found out about this when i watched scaretheaters video on tulpas about 3 years ago now, and i made one a couple of days later, and i just want to say from both of us that we really appreciate this video existing and that you took time to make it.

How does this video have no comments? The entire subject matter was fascinating and you successfully introduced me to a concept I had no idea about in an understandable way that left me curious. I'm really bad with words, but I can see the effort you put into this video and it was educational. Sorry if I don't make sense, I'm sleep deprived lmao.

It's so educational ty for bringing more light on this subject 👌😊

This explains a lot of my experience. Although I don’t interact with them one thing is for certain: they *did* teach me things in life. I will always thank them for that.
I got my tulpas through my severe MaDD as a child up until 2022/2023. I never interacted with them until 2022, when they suddenly all disappeared and I was desperate to hear their voice during school (just wanting to escape the world). I have so many tulpas it’s sorta concerning, but having as many as I have also brought a strong understanding and empathy to other perspectives. My very first tulpa (I got at second grade) is sleeping near me in the inner world right now. I’ve missed them so much mainly because they “disappeared” because I was so busy with real life. It just feels weird with having a quiet mind after being with them your vast majority of life. Anywho I’m done yapping. Thank you for making this video:)

Wait a sec..

All this years I though we need to find a 'certain arrow' then stab it to ourselves to gain one !

while i myself believe that Tulpas might be a lesser form of DID (or potentially more extreme depending on how you view it splitting the mind) I do enjoy this video as an informative source to help me better understand what this is and how it clearly shows that its not inherently harmful like most cases of DID can be. really cool stuff, if more research can be done into Tulpas and seeing how they form could lead to breakthroughs on how to treat DID or help people recover from and move on from traumatic events if you have someone to talk to about your issues or even help form the memories into words to talk with mental health professionals.

Banger of a video! Great stuff ZiZi, keep up the good work. So proud of you!

I have one tulpa right now
His name is Max, he likes goth culture and he frequently helping me with my emotions
If i am angry, sad, or something like that, i just can rest for a few minutes, while Max will listen to his doom-rock music
I... Don't know, was it good idea to summon him, he says that he is a ghost of kid that lived in my house, but i have feeling that...we need each other

[TheQuantumMarvel]

It gets out of hand if you can’t stop. Imagine having infinity Tulpas. The voices of the real people and the people who aren’t there start blurring. Like white noise.

[Therevengeforget]

Yeah... My Tulpa spoke first, and we're... well, not in the best relationship... Scratch that, we're pretty much enemies, and my Tulpa, despite trying to help me, makes things worse because neither of us trust each other enough to help eachother, or have any trust at all to begin with. Also, this video is made... let me count... around 18 days before the tulpa came (I had NO intentions of creating (or even the knowledge) of such thing existing)

Wait this is the coolest thing! I had no idea that this was a thing :0

I'm going to do reserch on this dam :3

[annamunchen]

This is very interesting I haven't heard of this until very recently!

[snesleywipessqueegeeservices]

What a wonderful discovery! Beautifully done. Bless you!!! ❤🙏😎 Subscribed.

So basically its a really serious imaginary friend. Idk, sounds like it could get unhealthy if you aren't careful.

[phranklynallen]

Holy shit, I'm going through this right now and I'm just amazed, mine wants to witness the world or for a moment be me but I can't let him, I have once but that was because I was so mad and angry I just let him have control and do whatever he wants.

I thought I was insane or something, thanks for explaining so much

[damongaudette]

Our creativity and imagination make reality. civilization has condemned this to gain control.let us never forget that!

[HermanLoud]

What if we as humans are something like a byproduct of tulpas but from a cosmic entity?
