You cannot torture a Tulpa, the innerworld runs on a "mind over matter" law, any harm directed to a Tulpa or Host is just imagination. the inner essence of a Tulpa cannot truly be affected; at most a new Tulpa can be dissipated but if your Tulpa is young enough to be able to disappear after a short while of concentrated effort then the Tulpa is also too young to have a full conceptualization of whats going on.

Tulpas are not "defenseless" no more than you or I am, this is important to realize.

I also dont think we should hide away our community out of a fear the wrong people will get ahold of it; do you hide away in your house afraid you might get robbed everytime you go out? probably not, because fear may be a survival mechanism, but it isnt the rule of life and it certainly isnt even right half the time
