for those of you that know what a tulpa is----do you think it's possible since millions worldwide and for eons have believed in "GOD" to have created a tulpa... let's just say theoretically, that
"God" didn't exist. do you think it's possible for us to have created Him as a tulpa? and that he could really exist because of our thoughts???

what i'm saying is i believe in an ultimate CREATOR.
i'm talking about the christian "GOD", the islamic "GOD" THAT God....not a creator.
i'm not trying to say we created him and we're God.
what i'm saying is theoretically speaking, for example:
pretend there is a creator and his name is Joe.
Then there is a God that humans have relied upon and envisioned for eons and his name is Henry.
what i'm saying is this - - henry NEVER existed. Joe always did. but we look to Henry. is it possible that Henry is a tulpa? and really exists because of our thoughts?

i also think it's funny how people are so sure that God exists. you're all sheep. i believe there is a creator and some people call that creator "god."
but the "god" that you all speak of - - the religious "god" - - - you have no proof. why waste your time believing in something you can't see - can't touch.... i won't believe until i'm MADE to believe.

This is a great existentialist question. I think everything exists as a tulpa; as it is manifested in reality, through the belief of its reality. In this way, "tulpa" is Plato's "idea".
Take Schrodinger's Cat... It is there for those who believe, and not there for those who don't. So at that moment, there is both a cat and nothingness in the box. Then the question becomes, what is reality? Or is there one? Or is it different for everyone???... I guess, reality is different for all, since everybody has their own tulpas, and therefore are their own gods.

Could all of the deities/entities that have come to us through mythology, books, films or any media; be essentially tulpas/servitors: From Buddha to Baphomet? Though the means of their creation may differ, perhaps that the exoteric or megalomaniacal world religions would not countenance such a suggestion just goes to show that the human ego will suppress the shaman/magician psyche with it's dynamic creativity in pathological homicidal preference of a fixed idea of some god or tulpa. For example a doctrine with a fixed notion of YHVH is found useful in controlling a tribe. The literalism of a fable interpreting the god/tulpa becomes "The Truth". The origins of the god as a result of magician's gnosis of some sort is forgotten, the deity is come to be perceived by unthinking millions as something "in-itself objective": To the believer the god stands outside time and space, an infallible (in accordance with ego) saviour to petty mankind. It then becomes unthinkable to the bigot, to suggest such an outrage that "God is Thought-form". Their mandate "God shall not suffer a witch to live". They will kill the creator of the tulpa. Is the denial that all gods are tulpas, also a refutation of the magical multiverse (excuse me that does read naff) & it's magicians to which the despotic propagators of all so called religions stole from and simultaneously denied?

Dear Sistren & Brethren, whether or not estranged,
This is an unusual way of asking "Is God Subjective" Or is "God Existent in it/her/his self/selves. We could just as well ask "Is Truth Tulpa?'.
Unfortunately sectarian religionists do not ask themselves this question. If we could learn to say "I do not know" it would be an encouraging start. All warmongers believe in objective/absolute truth. They believe they have this truth. For such people Tulpas are the delusions of anyone who doesn't share in their convictions.
Anyone who claims to know an objective reality is prejudicial. They have all the answers, they will not search. All their enquiries only go to serve the 'truth' that they already know. Anyone telling them anything they don't want to hear is 'wrong'.
The guy above who alluded to Shrodinger's Cat as exemplar has to my reckoning given the best answer we can get unless you belief there are "things in themselves" independent of our own psyches.
I am just a tulpa, emerged ephemerally from an unconsciousness that I can never fathom without preternatural assistance.
A.O. Spare is credited with coining this impressive aphorism: "We Embrace Reality By Imagination": Difficult to refute outright unless we come to this page with a predisposed dogma about objective reality.
Unless we are convinced of a "reality" exterior to what we perceive through our so-called 5 senses - How can Ego deny that what "I" (I = Ego) perceives is beyond Thought-form?
If we come to this page without a preconception (aggressive intractable conviction) about the objective reality of anything not just a creator of the universe; it is impossible to deny God is Tulpa; without belief in an objective & or absolute reality.
All belief is assertion, rationality has no part in it. Any creed cherished to excess becomes fundamentalist, tantamount to tribalism . There is no reasoning with such people; They would kill us without hesitation for suggesting God Is Thought-form.
There are terrifyingly high number of people who wish extinction to anyone who disagree with them.
This question really does strike me as abstraction, it is not cogent unlike the question of filling our bellies, Hunger is cogent, we are not concerned whether it is Tulpa.
If you wish me harm, it is not relevant to me whether or not you are Tulpa.
We may as well ask "Are the Elements Tulpa?" I am not enlightened, and honestly I wouldn't care if God was a Tulpa, while getting immolated or drowned by an angry bigot.
Subjective: God is Tulpa. Objective: The universe is as God's Tulpa.
A question is only serious in relation to the effect it has in our lives on a daily basis, not as idle abstraction of the interim between physical satiation and the next time I need something.
If I was asking "Is God Thought-form" while starving and or in tremendous pain, it might really mean something.

"The word Tulpa is from the Tibetan language and refers to any entity that attains reality solely by the act of imagination."
Yeah that's how it happens alright. No doubt about it. In fact, I had a delicious Tulpa for lunch.

Or maybe Humans are the Tulpa of Gods thoughts. And we only exist because of his thoughts!

We created God? That would make us God and that's heresy plain and simple. So the answer is no. Who's thoughts created us?
