Servitors, egregores, tulpas and daemons: what each is, how it is made, fed and ended.
A construct
Tulpa
A willed companion developed through sustained attention and experienced as having its own voice.
What it is
To build a stable inner companion for reflection, company or a specific kind of thinking.
How to make it
Define the form and temperament. Narrate to it daily. Imagine its replies. Build an inner room. Practise its presence in small, regular sessions.
A worked example
A twenty-minute evening narration practice for three months, journalled weekly, with a rule that the tulpa is not consulted for real-world facts.
Background
A name and form, a personality sketch, an inner place, a practice of narration, a journal and a boundary.
Keeping it fed
Attention and conversation. The journal is the record; ordinary relationships are the boundary.
Ending it
Reduce the sessions, thank it, close the inner room and stop the narration. If it is distressing, stop and seek support.
Keeping a record
A private journal with dates, sessions and changes.
