Digital Tulpa

Description

Peter Limberg:

"Tulpas are thought-forms engendered through intense mental concentration. The practice has its origins in Tibetan Buddhism, where monks created these beings through meditation; over time, they became entities able to act independently.

The practice of tulpamancy continues today in obscure online spaces, with structured guides on how to bring a tulpa into existence. For example, I’ve read stories of lonely men creating tulpa girlfriends, only to be either friendzoned by them or, worse, wanting to break up with them but being unable to—causing their lives to slowly unravel in the process."
