    The first rule of dabbling with Tulpas is DO NOT dabble with Tulpas.

    The second rule of dabbling with Tulpas is that everything they say and do is a lie and a trick. If there are any benevolent entities out there,.they will never, ever engage with you.

      The third rule of tulpamancy is that the word “tulpa” is culturally appropriated - the modern use of the word has very little in common with the Buddhist tradition, especially in why it’s done and what sorts of system members are created. The new, culturally sensitive word is parogen. It means “intentionally created”.

      Further terminology:
      Endogenic system - a head with multiple people in it that was created by its own actions
      Traumagenic system - a head with multiple people in it that was created by trauma. Often DID or OSDD
      Headmate - someone who lives in the same head as you
      Introject - a headmate whose identity is based on an external source such as a character
      Fictive - a headmate based on a fictional character. May or may not believe they’re truly the same person as in the media, for any philosophical opinion on what “the same person” means.
