TULPA, a Buddhist word roughly translated to "Construct", also called to what some people will refer them once they learn what they are more closely Though-form, are like the name implies beings made out of though, think about it like a imaginary friend, but instead of being stuck in your mind (Especially when "Captain shrimphead" broke the window with the soccer ball) you believe so hard in the entity it not only becomes its own entity independent of your whims, but actually no longer needs you to think of him to "feed him", now you created a being of flesh and bone, but now...

¿What is a Tulpa?
As the intro pointed, a Tulpa is a being made of collective thought or single but strong ones, so in theory you could create one by merely thinking so hard on...say, bringing your Anime Waifu to life to have a date... except is not that simple, if it were everybody mayu have a Stand-like thingamajig, in reality depending of the Myth, you may need a ritual to open your mind or something, or in a more sense making rule, you need to spread the throurgh a lot, now that i think about it, ¿Peraphs the Gods are becoming real since so many people believe in them?

Ranking them Tulpas
Not only you can create them, they also are "Ranked" according to the strenght of their independence from the creation as well as their strenght, so far i have only found...
SYMBOL: Small fries, they represent as their name indicates a symbol or a desire
SERVITORS: A entity created by many more minds, these ones start to be more autonomous, but with a porpuse
EGREGORIES: When the entity becomes large enough that not only it has free will, but also even the death of their "parents" won't stop them
GODFORM: Desite their strenght, ironically they are more sensitive to being "fed" thoughts, hence why some people thing the best way to defeat a God is to not believe on him

Like it has happened before...¿RIGHT?
They are in fact testimonies of alleged Tulpas, some of them are even wholesomish, but believe me, the testimonies of Tulpas going Awry are far frequentier than the ones of Tulpas going right, and no, you can't just "Unmake" them imagining them no-existing

Even a poof will not be enough
Remember, Tulpas are essencially collective pieces of mind, and dreams are pieces of mind outside the control of the dreamer, so even if you "Destroy" or your Tulpa ends up too weak to survive the creation, he's though, ¿Right?
Yesn't
Dreamland, another concept that fascinates imaginative people, is a more self explanatory concept, basically rather than your dream just stopping exising when you wake up, it joins a "Cloud Server" of more dreams , and these ones, being a place of collective subconsciousness, may be a great nest for the Mind People, so even if you forget about your Tulpa, don't think that he is gone...

Fueling your "Friend"
Even with all the warnings, you still desire to be able to talk to a piece of your mind... you are dumb, you are brave... or both, hehehe
First, to be able to creat one, you need what has been told before: "A powerful mind" Not only you need mind potential, but also to focus,
Second: a mind won't be enough, spread him, spread the though
Tulpas are reflections of your mind, so be careful what comes from there, no one knows what's up there even when the attic is ours
Tulpas are not anymore "ITS" they are "They" "She" and "He", don't be a fool disrespecting their existence reducing them to objects
Tulpas are receptive of your mind, so don't bring them in harsh conditions that hurts minds, that will harm both of you
Last and most important: THEY ARE NOT TOYS, Tulpa are in fact their own beings, and with proper conditions will be able to tame YOU, so is an awful idea to take a Tulpa lightly

Conclusion: A piece of my mind
Tulpas are fascinating, i love this kind of story about mind and imagination being some sort of superpower, so when i found about them i was fascinated, a cool concept that easly fits on my favorite setting of stories: The Dreamland, coming from a Spiritualist family, i craved learning about them, leading me to still today to search about stories and Lore of the Thoughform Concept

And there you have them, but be safe, after all, Tulpa is just a concept of our imagination, they can't be real, right'
that shadow at your bed's feet, is just a shadow

I’d fuck my tulpa.

Great explanation though, one of my favorite aspects of mysticism.
 
I first learned about tulpas when I was a brony. Trying to make tulpas of the characters from FiM was popular for a while.
 
likely to cause more problems than it's worth.
