Tulpas for hypnofetishists?
So I recently discovered the concept of the "Tulpa", a sort of psychological/meditation thing that allows you to "create" a new consciousness in your mind, or as it says on the reddit FAQ thread,
"A tulpa is believed to be an autonomous consciousness, existing within their creator’s mind, often with a form of their creator's initial choice and design.
A tulpa is entirely sentient and in control of their opinions, feelings, form and movement.
They are willingly created by people via a number of techniques to act as companions, muses, and advisers."
Or, layman's terms (as I understand it), kind of like an imaginary friend, but with enough personality and autonomy that once you develop one, it doesn't necessarily feel like you're simply talking to yourself
I was thinking of giving the whole process a shot (admittedly kind of skeptical, but at the very least I can use it as inspiration for my writing), but I also considered the possibility, "hey, could someone hypnotize their Tulpa? Or how about vice-versa, and their Tulpa hypnotizes them? No idea if that would work, given the psychology involved, but i wouldn't be surprised if someone here had their curiosity piqued by that information
Anyone here have any experience with the concept?
