Personally I’ve had a lot of very intense psychological experiences that while I’m aware they were things like hypnagogic hallucinations, I still put spiritual weight in them. Science and magic are not mutually exclusive

Granted most of the magic systems I come up with end up falling into some sub-category of "will-based magic" or "rules-based magic" or a weird combination of those

Like the subjective feeling of affecting your own thinking could arguably be called will-based magic... A very unorthodox spin on the mind-body problem XD

I don't think I have seen a tulpa with such a superiority complex before tbh. Feels surreal in a way

When you have mental health issues and bad mindsets combined, you can absolutely end up with something like this. To me the issues are:
  • Mental health is worsening intrusive thoughts
  • The mindset the tulpa is a powerful advirsary rather than an equal who can be reasoned with
The latter is fixable, the former can make or break the tulpa forcing experience. If they got treatment they may be able to have an alright time with tulpamancy, if not I would then consider dissipation with possibly an integration-focused approach if necessary. A dysfunctional system is a lose-lose situation for both the host and tulpa involved, sometimes dissipation is the necessary option.

Idk if this counts as something like tulpamancy but i cant stop seeing plushes as being alive

Yesn't? The concept of creating a thoughtform and seeing them as alive (even if you stuff that concept into a plushie) is a behavior encouraged by tulpamancy initially. Moreso the creation of a personality ppart though, most typically discourage a plushie as a tulpa's form Gray has an interesting perspective on souls you may find relevant. Gray believes he is giving off his energy to the inanimate objects around him. Thus, he is giving life to inanimate objects he cares for. Perhaps this is what you are doing, and what you're doing is essentially associating yourself with the plushie. Like tulpamancy though, you can always break the association and reclaim your energy

well basically, the universe is perfect, it seems to be created by some intelligent life, the fundamental forces and all of that crap seem perfectly tuned. And there is also the fact that there are no aliens we can see, almost as if we are the only life allowed. But then it seems dumb that the universe is only a couple thousand years old, with all of the evidence showing how old it is

The concept of a God has bothered my host for awhile. He has personal issues with the idea a Christian God- why should you love back a being who is okay with designing people to be broken. Like if being gay is bad, why did God make people gay? I personally don't like how God seems to push people apart or how God even treats evangelists. I always get annoyed when people argue about religious related stuff when otherwise they would get along fine. I also feel bad for the evangelists spending a lot of time getting mocked or scorned at just because they think they're doing the right thing. If I learned anything about trust, it seems too good to be true for God to reward you in the afterlife if he's going to treat you like dirt in this one... That being said, I can't speak for the universe. I believe it's totally possible we're just lucky as a species and we won the lottery being the only species we know exist right now. It doesn't mean God isn't real, and if there is one, I don't know if it's the all loving Christian God

Luminesce: Basically, I don't put any stock in all the nonsense random humans say about any God. No God worth my faith is fathomable by random humans. If there is a higher power like that, their inner workings are beyond our comprehension - which is exactly how I'd prefer it. (edited)

I (personally, im not tryna start arguments) think its ridiculous of people to believe an all powerful entity would go out of their way to create a universe, create humans, give them free will, and say "man, if you do x i am sending you to the punishment center even though i designed your nature to be like that"
