There is a strange phenomena which is often overlooked on websites dealing with the paranormal or cryptozoology – the mysterious Tulpa from Tibet.

Tibet has long been thought of as a mysterious, spiritual place where the strange is commonplace. And it is here that we find the Tulpa. The word Tulpa is from the Tibetan language and refers to any entity that attains reality solely by the act of imagination. This entity can be seen by not only the creator, but by other people as well.

There are some problems associated with creating a Tulpa if you do not know what you are doing. The biggest problem is that as the Tulpa is given enough vitality and life, it tends to free itself from its masters control, much like a child when it leaves its mother’s womb.

Tibetan mystics often tell of a Tulpa which has been sent out to do a mission, failing to return on completion of its task. Rather it chooses to go out and become a half-conscious entity capable of all kinds of drama. This can often happen if its creator dies before dissolving the entity back into the land of thought.

In some cases the entity behaves like a rebellious child and the mystics report cases of great struggles between the master and the Tulpa. Often the Tulpa seriously injures or even kills its creator.

One scary aspect of this is that sometimes a Tulpa can be created unconsciously. When this happens it is often difficult to get rid of it because the creator doesn’t know what they have done. This seems to be similar to cases of poltergeist activity and its relationship with girls going through puberty.

As a general rule the Tulpa entity disappears on the death of the creator or gradually vanishes over time as its life-giving energies are depleted. But as we have seen – sometimes this does not happen!

The creation of Tulpas are not only limited to Tibetan Lama mystics but has also been documented by certain westerners. Alexandra David-Neel is one such person.
