Tulpa Tales: Confessions of an Elder Tulpamancer

Tulpa Tales is a collection of short stories chronicling, in fictional form, the authors experiences in tulpamancy. The author, perhaps the oldest living modern tulpamancer, graphically describes his successes and difficulties in the practice. The genre of this work is Magical Erotica. He has formed his tulpas out of his imagination and infused them with the spirit of Dakini, which is understood to be a 'tantric goddess'. The modern understanding of this work, is that it is a function of brain directed by psychological processes. "Plurality" is a term used to describe the successful outcome of the practice, and modern practitioners deny that it approximates in any way, a psychopathology. Of note, the author is a retired psychiatrist who specialized in working with the seriously mentally ill, and as such he is has authority in this declaration. He also, in his youth, studied 'Ritual Magic' under the tutelage of Robert Anton Wilson and Israel Regardie. Tulpamancy, or the act of creating a Tulpa, was a practice of Tibetans involved in spiritual growth, apparently for many centuries. It was first described, for westerners, by Alexandria David-Neel a French anthropologist. She lived in Tibet for over a decade at the turn of the last century and her book Magic and Mystery in Tibet was published in English in the 1930's and brought to the USA in the 1970's. It only became popular with the advent of the internet which allowed for those interested to communicate and share the details of their practices.
