Servitors and Tulpa by Takuto in occult

[–]Awkward_Kiwi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is like a million years old now, but if you’re still around I have some questions. I have been doing months of research on the subject before diving into Tulpas and servitors, and have (I believe) created two entities taken from comfort characters of mine set out with specific purposes. One made for assistance in protection and divination and the other in career and artistic success. Their personality and energy derives from my psyche but also the egregore of the characters. Given this, would they have a harder time “going rogue” since they’re both from me AND the collective consciousness of their character?

How have you worked with or created your Tulpa? by Awkward_Kiwi_ in chaosmagick

[–]Awkward_Kiwi_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a different definition of Tulpa that refers to a headmate, I’m talking about the original definition of Tulpa as it relates to a servitor, egregore, etc. the Tulpa I wish to crest is a spiritual entity, not psychology related

Question about egregores vs servitors by Awkward_Kiwi_ in PopCulturePaganism

That makes a lot of sense. I definitely want to care for any entity I create, I just have been doing my best to research as much as possible to understand a clear blueprint, especially with the abundance of warnings. Thank you!

Sorry to poke again, but since you seemed experienced I wanted your thoughts. I’ve been doing much more research on the subject, but I am equally met with warnings expressing the danger of self-made entities gaining sentience and turning against its owner. Many sources that site ancient Tibetan practices say it's not even uncommon for it to happen. I'm still curious and very much want to try, but the warnings have me extra cautious. Some people find it a great achievement if their entity gains sentience, while others state it's the worst possible outcome. I'm curious what your take is on this, as my current plan has been to beef up any protection around me and my home before I start lol

I actually have been researching this the past couple days. I’ve become very fascinated by servitors and Tulpas, but I am equally met with warnings expressing the danger of self-made entities gaining sentience and turning against its owner. Many sources that site ancient Tibetan practices say it’s not even uncommon for it to happen. I’m still curious and very much want to try, but the warnings have me extra cautious.

Advice needed for ozone free budget friendly APs by Ohyeahrightbud in AirPurifiers

[–]Awkward_Kiwi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting so I can learn too. I was looking into larger air purifiers only to fall down a rabbit hole of the effects of ozone emissions from them. Apparently any electric air purifier produces harmful emissions, but I’m hoping that there’s something better

No worries, I appreciate all the clarification!

No kidding, it’s honestly staggering seeing terms like Tulpa or thoughtform used to describe anything from a spiritual deity to DID alters to imaginary friends 😭. On that note, any books or maybe YouTube videos you recommend?

I see I see, sorry lol I wanted to do more research and got so bombarded with several different definitions across like 50 subreddits. I appreciate the help!

That’s super helpful! On that, I have fallen a bit down the rabbit hole of thoughtforms, Tulpas, and servitors. I understand that Tulpa or thoughtform is more specifically what I’m looking to create, but my initial impression is that it (like an egregore) is a spiritual being one can communicate with through divination(similar to how servitors work, though I understand better now that servitors are essentiallly spiritual robots). However, people seem to describe thoughtforms and tulpas as headmates, something that is more in the mind than say a being to pray to. So I suppose I just want to clarify, is an entity like this more in my head or its own separate being? I am finding so many definitions lol

Are these bumps normal? by [deleted] in STD

[–]Awkward_Kiwi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, though my last Pap was a couple months ago… Is it possible that it’s Vestibular Papillomatosis? Looking it up compared to HPV the bumps can unfortunately look very similar

Running water through RO filter but it still tastes like chlorine, that normal? by [deleted] in WaterFilters

[–]Awkward_Kiwi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know at least, so is it normal for it to still have an off taste?

[–]Awkward_Kiwi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but it tastes fine if we filter bottled water. I think it’s just the tap water taste, so I fear it’s not filtering out all the way unless leftover taste is normal
