At first glance, the story "The Empty Man" is about a monster named "Hollow Man", but the logic of the so-called "Hollow Man" comes from the bottom setting "Tulpa".

Tulpa is a secret technique originated from Tibet, which means to materialize something that should only exist in the fantasy world through strong and continuous imagination. That is to say, you can project imaginary things into reality.

Similar works include the animation Fictional Reasoning, which also brings a fantasy to the real world through imagination.

In the movie "Body", those high school students inadvertently used Tulpa.

They created an urban legend, "Pick up an empty bottle on the bridge, blow it at the bottle, and think of the hollow man, and you can see it". Moreover, this urban legend also divides stages in detail, such as what will happen on the first day and what will happen the next day ...

Strong belief and the addition of urban legends make this idea creation "hollow man" stronger and stronger.

Of course, this is just film creation. In real life, Tulpa is not so unfriendly.

-yes, I mentioned "in real life", Tulpa does exist in the real world, and this secret technique can be learned.

There are many explanations for the creation process and diversity of Tulpa, as well as the psychological and neurological principles of this phenomenon. At present, there is no way to determine what the implementation principle of Tulpa is.

Tulpa can only be seen in one's own subjective consciousness. Perhaps the only scientific way to "prove" Tulpa can only be found by using expensive fMRI or EEG.

If you have doubts about this phenomenon, you can observe the people who own Tulpa, read some progress reports, then judge whether Tulpa exists or not, and sum up the principle of Tulpa by yourself.

A strong evidence supporting Tulpa is that thousands of people have tried to create Tulpa, and they believe this phenomenon completely (still subjectively).

Tulpa is not dangerous, because living in the same brain enables you to understand each other's feelings and accept each other. Getting along well is beneficial to Tulpa and its host.

In most cases, the host and Tulpa are close friends. Just like any personal relationship, any differences can be resolved through communication. Even if there are few problems that can't be solved after communication, Tulpa won't force you to move your body unless you allow them.

Tulpa can't hurt you physically, and there are very few examples showing that they want to do so. Tulpa is just an ordinary person, and you can solve any conflict like ordinary people. You should not give up your Tulpa after disagreement or dispute, you should try your best to get things done again.

Tulpa is not a split personality, and those mental problems are usually caused by heredity/experience trauma.

People with these symptoms often attack involuntarily, and they can't control the occurrence of these symptoms. Some patients will lose consciousness and be replaced by another personality, and the whole process is uncontrollable. But this kind of thing won't happen to people with Tulpa. You can choose to listen to your Tulpa or ignore them. Even if you give your body to them for control, you won't lose consciousness.

You have a strong control over the growth of Tulpa, so the last person to stay with you will be your favorite character. Tulpa is benign and voluntary. If you touch Tulpa correctly, they will improve your life with companionship and friendship. In most cases, there is no problem in creating Tulpa.

It is generally believed that Tulpa can do anything the host can do, but that's all.

Tulpa is a human being with the same limitations and potential as you and me. Tulpa is naturally suitable for doing something that the host can't do (for example, completely integrating himself into the dreamland). Tulpa can help you remember things or things, but his help is far less than your own efforts in this area.

Tulpa can think independently, they have their own decision-making ability, and they also have their own hobbies, opinions and preferences. These may be quite different from yours (whether they are similar to you or not). They can talk and maintain themselves. They exist in consciousness, so they can easily communicate with other consciousness in their mind, such as their creator or other Tulpa occupying the same body.

Tulpa can communicate with things or people outside the body in some ways. For example, a host conveys what Tulpa said to others, or directly lets Tulpa control his own body. Tulpa's form exists in imagination, and they take it as their own image. This image can be selected at the early stage of creation, or it can be naturally generated under the influence of subconscious and personality.

Tulpa usually think that image is themselves, but they may want to change their image. These changes are not only minor changes, but sometimes the whole appearance will change. Image enables Tulpa to use visual interaction, such as body language and expression. This image can be seen in the mind's eye or fantasy, and can also be seen by the naked eye of the host in the form of illusion after training.

To sum up, Tulpa is an independent consciousness, which usually represents itself in a form, created by someone and used as a spiritual partner. There are many reasons for creation.
