Summary
This week join Brent, David, and Contest Winner Lauren as they dive head-first into the wild world of Tulpas - those mysterious, mind-made entities that seem to have a life of their own. Are they just figments of our imagination, or do they hold the key to unlocking new dimensions of consciousness? Or maybe Demons? Or, wait for it.... fake????
No matter what they are, we go on a mind-bending journey and discuss the origins of these thought-forms, from ancient Tibetan mysticism to modern-day internet forums. Plus, does Conspiracy Bot have a Tulpa foot fetish?
Strap in and get ready for a wild ride through the land of mental manifestations - this is one episode of Hysteria 51 you won't want to miss!
