You can, and they're useful, and tulpa is a stupid fucking name. There I said it.

The only thing about them is that they are really only useful for organizing parts of yourself that you are not consciously aware of. You can't manifest a slenderman IRL but you can make a mind palace and vastly improve your memory, or go on spirit journeys and learn how to forgive.

It's all in your head but that doesn't make it any less real.

Currency and democracy are ideas made manifest, and all they are is shared ideas in our heads.

What's the point of using my mind to create something internal? It would be better if I could just twist reality with a thought. Smh.

It's complicated and if I fully explain it to you, it won't work as well for you.

Google 'mind palace' and start playing with the practice. It's really just a fun imagination game that can actually improve your memory drastically.

I'll just look for a chaos magic grimoire at this point
