Sounds coincidental at best, and prompted at worst. Dreams are highly subjective already, no more than random neurons firing by the brain to keep itself entertained while the rest of the body sleeps.

As Strel has mentioned, the information mentioned is vague. There is no mention of the facial structure, personality, or any unique identifying factors. Your accounts are not evidence of anything spiritual.

You are incorrect about your description of dreams. You could apply the same exact principle to waking reality. Because vision works in a way where an electrical signal is interpreted in the brain. if you were put in a sensory deprivation chamber and I hooked up a machine that could feed signals to your central nervous system you would experience what you are now, given that I gave you the same signals. There is much more evidence than what I have mentioned here. But, it would be much longer if I went into every single detail and I do not have the time for that. I recommend checking out Thomas Campell's book My Big Toe for a better description. However getting back to the point, There was mention of facial structure, personality and everything else. Yes, it is evidence of something spiritual.

I believe you just agreed with me? In the case of the sensory deprivation chamber the brain is bored, and begins to hallucinate in an attempt to entertain itself. I'm not certain as to what you're trying to convey.

Regardless, you believe you have something noteworthy, but that's only the case if it's replicable in tulpamancers other than yourself. If you believe you have discovered something supernatural, why are you here? There is an association that will pay you a million dollars for proof of paranormal activity.

Go on, claim your million, write a scientific paper about this, start a school, and I will personally make an effort to attend your new spiritual academy.

Tulpamancer is not a word, nor am I one. I don't wish to associate with such a frivolous term. I can only share my experience. I don't wish to have a consensus/ ad populum. Your argument is full of presuppositions. The James Randi Million Dollar experiment has already been debunked as a scam. You could listen and learn something, instead of trying to refute anything that does not fit into your dogmatic paradigm of reality. More about how you see yourself sadly. I have a Doctorate in Anesthesiology as well and none of what you say is true about the brain either.

It appears you have edited your post in the time I made a reply. I would like a few citations as to where the you have found the Randi experiment to be a scam. Perhaps you misread it as it finding scams.

Congratulations on your Doctorate. However, I can claim to be the Queen of England as well. Though you wouldn't believe me unless I had proof. Not sure how an Anesthesiology degree helps with your argument though, maybe Neurology or even Psychology.

Provide again, with citations disproving that dreams are NOT random firing of neurons and I suppose I can let you have this small victory.

[–]irokosaki1[S] -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

No, it is itself a scam. Many people with credibility have been turned down by him. It's not surprising.

When you make a claim, the burden of proof is on you. You have to supply the evidence. That is simple logic.

Dreams cannot be explained. They are still a mystery. And that a random firing could create the experience will not be solved by you. You cannot prove experience, you can only live it.

The last time I checked, these credible individuals declined as opposed to being rejected. I see no evidence of Mr. Randi declining any individual.

With regards to dreams being random neuron firings, here is an abstract of a paper that discusses it. Seeing as you have a Doctorate, you should have no problem accessing the full article.

Or are scientific papers not good enough for you? You are also nitpicking again, not answering each of my points. Given how new your account is as well it leads me to question your purpose here, especially with such a outlandish first thread.

[–]irokosaki1[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

That does not prove your point. That's a hypothesis. I'm answering all your points they are just kind of typical. Have you created a thought form?

It's a potential explanation, better than any you have provided. You make claims that my reasoning is faulty, I provide some evidence showing some legitimacy and apparently this is not enough for you. Curious.

Your link is bad, and you should feel bad. I only need to read the claim that the experiment is ending to know how poorly written this article is. A quick look on Randi's site shows that the challenge is still available and easier than ever to access.

Please, have better citations. And also, what are you trying to get at with regards to my tulpa or lack-there-of?

[–]irokosaki1[S] -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Just wondering if you'd made one cause if you're here and you haven't then that is a bit strange. I thought this was a place to share the experience of making one without being critiqued by a religious guy.

[–]throwaway_tulpaworking with [Blaine] -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Then what else do you call a person with a tulpa? Do share. Or do you not have a tulpa? That would contradict your post entirely.

My argument was not full of presuppositions. I suggest that you take a moment to reread it. It was filled with suggestions, as opposed to assumptions.

Unless of course you don't believe you have something noteworthy (which would make it questionable as to why you're sharing this experience), and it's a given within the scientific community that events be replicable. Last time I checked, spiritual events fall under that of the paranormal/supernatural.

Your experience is questionable, do not be surprised when others begin poking.

"the brain is bored, and begins to hallucinate in an attempt to entertain itself."

"no more than random neurons firing by the brain to keep itself entertained while the rest of the body sleeps."

These are assumptions

[–]throwaway_tulpaworking with [Blaine] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Are we going to nitpick here and ignore the rest of my other statements? Really, quite disappointing.

I suppose it's more accurate to say that the brain supposedly detoxs itself, or consolidates memories during sleep but I'm still leaning towards brain entertainment personally.

You are again, welcome to provide alternative explanations with citations. You seem so certain of yourself.

[–]irokosaki1[S] -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Have you created a thought form?

[–]throwaway_tulpaworking with [Blaine] -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

And now you're going on a different tangent. I am very suspicious about your intents.

I am not certain as to what you're trying to achieve with this new question. Is it a trap? Bait? Am I being trolled? If so, well done. You have made me spend numerous minutes on you.

[–]irokosaki1[S] -1 ポイント0 ポイント

I'm just sharing my experience. You're the one who is apparently trying to say that this is not actually happening to me.
