Tulpas and Thought-forms [Mysticism]

from Out of the Average Hosted by Meghan Pavlovsky and Allison Varca

Have you ever heard of a tulpa before? Or perhaps have you made one? This week Meghan gives the lowdown on what exactly a tulpa is - a concept steeped in Tibetan Buddhist theology, adapted by Theosophists in the early 20th century, and reshaped once again through the forums of Reddit. Join Meg, Allison, and recurring guest Melissa this week for a conversation about this mystical concept. Recorded and Edited by Meghan Pavlovsky and Allison Varca. Music by Mike Vontas.
