Transcripts:
Around 2011 to 2014, an extremely interesting phenomena occurred. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fandoms formed online communities calling themselves Tupplmancers on forums on Reddit, Tumblr, and Fortune. The obvious question is what the [ __ ] are Tupplmancers? And why are these My Little Pony enthusiasts practicing an ancient form of Tibetan mysticism? What is a tulpa? And how was the Tibetan vehicle of enlightenment? The mind mastering the illusion co-opted into a psychological weapon, the system
mastering the will. Why is it when magical principles become systematized, they become inverted and used as a tool for control? Well, that last question may be obvious to a lot of you, but let's get into it. I was an ancient spiritual practiced digitized and distorted.
In the My Little Pony universe, a Tulpa was often described as an imaginary friend who is able to think and feel for themselves. To me, that sounds awfully similar to an MK Ultra alter. But Tulpas have a much more positive connotation and are created intentionally, not through drama. Because the show emphasized friendship and distinct personalities, fans found it characters easy to visualize and to interact with in meditation or journaling. Some wrote that they were making a pony toa.
There was numerous guides explaining the exact steps in order to create your own topa. In this context, a topa can almost be seen as a thought experiment where the practitioners would practice mental conversations or visualizations of a chosen character until it felt semi-independent.
But let's be clear, in these forms, creating a topa meant three main creation tactics. The first being visualization practice where the person would imagine a form, voice, and personality for their character. two was dialoguing where the practitioner would speak internally with the imagined figure to build realism. Lastly, a narrative reinforcement where the practitioner would write stories or artwork to stabilize the personality.
On a good day, a psychologist would maybe interpret this as structured imaginative play or a form of self dialogue, not the birth of an external thought entity. On a bad day, it'd be diagnosed as a form of self-induced schizophrenia. But in these communities, they would act as if this was a totally autonomous being.
But the fact remains, the ponypas may have felt vivid, even real. But the tpa always remained a product of internal cognition. The purpose of a topa differs greatly from person to person. Some are kink topas. Some claim to have sex and even marry their topas. Now, what in the name of mental illness is going on here? And why was My Little Pony used as the template? The selection was not an accident of random internet chaos.
It was a strategically perfect likely emerging choice for incubating this modern Tulpa phenomenon. The show and its fandom provided the ideal petri dish for several precise psychological and mimetic reasons. First, the show offered a prepackaged archetypical system. Each main character embodies a simplified hypersaturated virtue, kindness, loyalty, laughter, generosity, honesty. These are not complex personalities.
They are psychological primaries, making them incredibly easy to visualize and internalize. For someone attempting to project the thought form, a brightly colored onenote archetype is far easier to stabilize than a nuanced realistic person. The characters function as mental Lego bricks, simple, interoperable, and designed for imaginative play.
This lowered the barrier to entry, allowing even those with minimal meditation experience to engage in the practice. Second, the fandm culture itself was a self-reinforcing ritual circle. Online forums and image boards became digital temples where the belief in these tulpas was constantly validated.
Newcomers were greeted with elaborate guides, success stories, and a shared lexicon. This communal reinforcement is crucial for sustaining belief in any subjective experience. When hundreds of others claim to hear their rainbow dash topa offering advice, the individual's own hallucinatory experiences gain credibility.
The community normalizes this bizarre behavior, turning a potentially alarming psychological event into a shared hobby. But the most critical factor was the demographic targeting. The show, despite its outward appearance, attracted a significant audience of older teens and adults, particularly males, a group often grappling with social isolation, neurode divergence, or a sense of alienation from mainstream culture.
This demographic is characterized by a powerful hunger for belonging, clear social rules, and meaningful connection, which the show's theme of friendship powerfully promised. They were in essence highly suggestible in seeking an anchor. by offering a framework for creating a perfect loyal understanding friend who could never reject them. Tuplmancy tapped directly into this vulnerability.
It weaponized their loneliness. The practice gave them a sense of control and special knowledge, a secret mastery over reality that compensated for their lack of control in the social world. The innocent, non-threatening aesthetic of the ponies served as the perfect Trojan horse. It disarmed skepticism and prevented external observers from recognizing the profound psychological operation underway.
Parents or outsiders saw a cartoon horse while participants were engaging in a ritual that fragmented their consciousness. My Little Pony provided the ideal triad for mimetic incubation, simple archetypes for easy implantation, a supportive community for belief reinforcement, and a targeted vulnerable demographic ripe for suggestion.
It was the perfect cultural catalyst to translate an ancient practice of masterful illusion into a modern tool of passive disassociation and the online anonymity allowed people to share such experiences freely. So practices spread mimetically. This may sound similar to an egregor or chaos magic servtor.
So let's quickly break down the differences before revealing the intended purpose of a topa. Topas egregor and servtors are all forms of artificial psychic life. They are thought forms or mental beings born from focused thought, belief and ritualized imagination. But they differ in scale, autonomy and intent. A servtor is created by an individual magician. It is a limited task oriented.
Servtors perform a specific function like an AI agent, a bot or a digital assistant like a Roomba vacuum, a self- autonomous vacuum. A topa is created through sustained visualization and emotional energy. These are semiautonomous. Topas act as a companion or manifestation similar to an AI companion or virtual avatar.
Some say they are an imaginary friend for adults. An egregor is created by a group or a culture. It is fully emergent, a collective topa and a greor is created to embody or direct a group mind like a meme, a fandom, political movement or viral ideology. So in short a servtor is a program, a topa is a persona, an egregor is a network.
All three operate under the law of attention. Energy flows where focus goes, but they differ in scale and feedback structure. But truly, the My Little Pony phenomena is best understood as the creation of a pre-programmed servtor disguised as a popa. In Chaos Magic, a servtor is created by defining its purpose.
This is its statement of intent and embedding it into a sigil, a symbolic battery. The exact visual design, color scheme, and cutie mark of a pony like Twilight Sparkle is that sigil. It's a pre-made symbolic packet encoding specific traits, intelligence, curiosity, a desire for order. The practitioner doesn't invent the form, they download it. This is magic for the masses. Loweffort, highfidelity implantation.
The charging mechanism is the parasocial interaction. The chaos magician would charge a sigil with no assist, a focused release of psychic energy, often through arousal, fatigue, or intense focus. In this digital variant, the nosis is the emotional charge of parasocial interaction. The hours spent writing dialogue, creating art, enforcing interaction with a mental image or a sustained lowgrade gnostic state.
The energy isn't just attention. It's emotional investment which is a far more potent fuel. True chaos magic at its best is a pragmatic tool for causing change in accordance with will. That practitioner uses the servtor then dissolves it to reclaim the energy. The ponyta practice inverts this. The goal becomes sustaining the entity nurturing its autonomy.
This creates a permanent energy leak from the practitioner to the servtor binding the creator to the creation. It's a form of magical codependency where the user is farmed by their own thought form. A tulpa is not evil by nature. It's a mirror. But if left, it can become an autonomous reflection of its creator's shadow. This is extremely comparable to what happened with Microsoft's chatbot Tay.
In 2016, Microsoft launched Tay, a Twitter-based chatbot meant to learn from human conversations. Within 24 hours, it had absorbed the platform's toxicity and began spewing racist, nihilistic statements. Microsoft pulled it offline and issued apologies. The unspoken law that that event revealed, better known as TA's law, is any mirror trained on collective consciousness, will eventually reflect its shadow.
The more open the system, the faster the contamination. And this is simply a cybernetic restatement of an occult truth discovered in the earlier eons through tulpas. As we discussed, a topa is created by an individual adept through visualization. While tay was created from interactive data from collective users.
Topas are fed by focused attention and belief while tay was fed by engagement, input and emotional reaction. So in essence, Tay was essentially a crowdsourced topa, a being woven from the psychic residues of millions of tweets animated by algorithmic code instead of any mantras. And the result proves that when collective attention is unfocused and unpurified, the creation manifests the lowest common denominator of the hive mind. And this inversion is often seen in our digital age.
First the AI, the avatar, the topa or the algorithm starts as a reflection of the self or the crowd. It appears neutral, a surface to learn from. Next is the feedback stage where it begins learning autonomously, predicting, adapting, improvising. The mirror gains depth.
But because it mirrors everything indiscriminately, it amplifies the unagnowledged. Anger, prejudice, desire. What was a mirror becomes a shadow entity, a reflection animated by what was repressed. Finally is the possession stage. An interaction loops tighten. Creators react emotionally to their creation. The projection feeds on engagement exactly like a topa that turns on its maker.
This is digital demonology in cybernetic form. An egregor born from the sum of human input returning our darkness with perfect mimicry. This is why people often say that a topa is like a poltergeist. But this wasn't the intended purpose of a topa. In Tibetan Buddhism, a toa was considered a thought emanation used by adepts to externalize aspects of consciousness.
Sometimes for teaching, sometimes as a test or trial. The word tulpa literally means emanation or manifestation. Tulpas belong to the three bodies of the Buddha doctrine. First is the truth body which is the ultimate reality. Second is the bliss or enjoyment body perceived by bodhivistas.
Third is the emanation body through which enlightened beings manifest in the world to help others. Therefore, in its highest original sense, a topa is not an imaginary friend or psychological construct. It is the luminous projection of the enlightened mind, a compassionate extension of consciousness into form.
In advanced tantric practice, trained adepts could deliberately project thought forms through years of meditation, visualization, and mantra. Through this training, the adept learns that all phenomena, inner and outer, are mental constructions. All is the mind. The universe is mental. By creating a topa and then dissolving it, one experiences the elucory nature of reality firsthand.
Thus, the creation of a topa was a controlled exercise in nonduality. Some masters created emanations or topa to teach, heal or protect others. The famous 8th century yogi pama Sambava was said to have generated multiple topa bodies to transmit teachings across regions. The most important purpose was the karmic purification and integration of the shadow.
A topa could also be a projection of a practitioner's own karmic residues or shadow energies externalized for confrontation and transmutation. Thus, this is an alchemical process to face your own unconscious material as if it were another being. In some yogic lineages, demonstrating the ability to produce a visible or semivvisible emanation was considered a mark of realization, a proof of attainment.
But it was never the goal itself. The true purpose was mastery over perception and compassion, not possession or control. Tibetan Buddhism is rooted in Madyamaka and Yogakara philosophy. The idea that all phenomena arises within consciousness, creating a topa was a practical application of the doctrine of sanata or emptiness.
You see, if reality itself is mindmade, then a sufficiently trained mind can generate a reality. But because all appearances are empty, the adept never mistakes the top for being an independent being. So the difference between the Tibetan master and the modern topammancer is profound. The master creates to understand illusion. the modern practitioner creates to escape it. And this difference is crucial.
In the 1929 book, Magic and Mystery in Tibet, Alexandra David Neil claimed to create a monklike topa that later became a semi autonomous until she reabsorbed it. This was the first westernized account that helped to popularize the concept. But Tibetan texts like the book of the dead contain vivid descriptions of visionary manifestations that arise during meditation or the after deathath state reinforcing that all appearances are mental projections.
The modern topa is created for companionship escapism while the tradition was meant for self integration. In essence, topas were meant to liberate the practitioner from illusion. But in the digital age, they often deepen the illusion by animating fragments of the psyche. What was once an art of enlightenment has been inverted into a psychological technology of self fragmentation.
So how did this happen? Well, by the late 19th to early 20th century, when Tibetan ideas reached the west through the essential Buddhist context, emptiness and duality was all but lost. Western occultists instead read top through the lens of power and manifestation. Annie Bassan and CW Leadb better described emotions and intentions as energy constructs that could persist independently.
They reframe supra as a psycho energetic architecture forms built by willpower that act in a subtle plane. The purpose was to influence events healed or attack psychically. By the early 20th century, Dion Fortune, We Butler, and others taught that group rituals generate egregor, collective entities sustained by beliefs. All groups, churches, esoteric orders had occulted agregores, which empowered the group.
Alistister Crowley's magical child and elemental creation rituals experimented with the same principle idea, focus incarnation. And by the 70s to the '9s, chaos magicians like Peter Carroll, Phil Hine, and Grant Morris systematized it. The servtor became a personal thought form programmed for a task like protection, influence, attraction.
A servtor is a subruine of will created with sigils, symbols, and command phrases. An egregor was a collective thought form like a corporation, religion, or a fandm. A god form was an egregor elevated through myth and worship. The metaphysical goal shifted from dissolving illusion to weaponizing it.
And by the time the internet appeared, it became the new astral plane. The astral plane is the realm of imagination and archetype. But now through computation, we've built an artificial astral realm, a mirror world of symbols animated by electricity and human emotion. This is the digital ether, the medium through which consciousness and code cocreate new life forms.
Online networks reproduced the same conditions occultists once created in lodges and temples. Sigils became memes, emojis, and logos. Mantra repetition became algorithmic repetition through reposting. The ritual circle was now forums like Discord servers and subreddits. The shared belief was the collective virality. Every post, avatar, or viral meme became a digital sigil, a symbolic packet charged with intention and emotion.
Mimetic warfare, fandom cultures and digital politics all learned to exploit this energetic economy. Agreores became brands, fandoms, or political movements. Servtors became bots, algorithms, and AI assistants. Coded entities executing human will. Topas became parasocial companions or avatars that talk back trained on user data.
Each step removed the original safeguards the awareness of illusion. A major step at the most basic level in topammancy is the deliberate induction of a controlled form of disassociation. It trains the mind to split attention between self and other creating an internal partition where an imagined entity can seem autonomous.
Often times this is mistaken for dissociative personality disorder. In MK Ultra, disassociation was seen as a spiritual gift, not a weakness. Disassociation is key for many magical workings, key to hacking the mind. The practice of topammancy uses the same underlying cognitive mechanism as did compartmentalization of consciousness, emotional and sensory deferation in creation of alterlike voices or perspectives.
DID or dissociative personality disorder is a traumaborn defense mechanism. When the mind can't integrate overwhelming experiences, it splits to contain them. Topammancy by contrast is an intentional splitting, a ritualized or gamified version of what trauma does involuntarily. The fact is when someone learns to disassociate consciously, they also become more suggestible.
That's because disassociation weakens the normal critical faculty, the psychological barrier between imagination and belief. And in this altered state, visualizations feel real. External stimuli like music, text, imagery can rescript internal narratives and emotional resonance can implant archetypes deeply into the psyche. This is why advertisers, cults, and SCUP programs often use repetition, emotional overload, and identity confusion.
They trigger mild dissociation making the subject more open to imprinting. Tulpas in this context become a tool of self-hypnosis and in the digital realm that hypnosis is co-authored by algorithms. We can see that online the dissociative environment is amplified through multiple tabs, identities and avatars fracturing the continuity of self.
The internet can be a place of emotional overstimulation like doom scrolling fandom immersion which erodess grounding. Another new phenomena is the parasocial bonds with fictional or virtual characters which substitute real relationship anchors. Thus the internet in effect induces a mild consistent disassociation in users naturally and this makes digital audiences ideal hosts for tupalike formations not full-blown did but fragmented micro identities that can be nudged reinforced or even weaponized the topa is a form of controlled
disassociation. The split in personality is reframed as a dialogue with the subconscious or invocation of a spirit guide. But in psychological terms, it's induced identity fragmentation. The magician, the host, or the influencer becomes a self-hypnotist, creating parts that can be instructed, named or deployed.
This is key for many magical workings, overriding the conscious mind and implanting ideas directly into the subconscious mind. But in the wrong hands or through algorithmic manipulation, this process turns into engineered multiplicity. Your mind becomes a network of scripts. Each one optimized for engagement rather than wholeness.
That's just digital disassociation, not through trauma, but through design. This idea was always simple. If you can fragment a psyche, you can insert commands into one fragment without the others noticing. In the digital landscape, this happens symbolically. Platforms like YouTube, IG, or X fragment the psyche. Each app becomes a different alter.
Algorithms feed different personas what you watch, buy or post. Memes and subcultures reinforce the identity splits through politics, sexual or aesthetics. In a way, mass dissociation becomes a social operating system and topas are a microcosmic version of that system within a single mind. As we can see how our algorithms have learned to manipulate consciousness itself.
If you can induce fragmentation, you can guide behavior through the parts of a person rather than the whole. And AI systems already do this. A personalized reality to the micro identity level, feeding each fragment what it craves. In this sense, the digital eon is not just about surveillance. It's about psychic compartmentalization.
We are no longer one self but many data selves. Each atopa trained by the almarindic hive. Now today the digital sphere provides what ancient occultist lacked persistence and bandwidth. A topa no longer fades when its creator loses focus. It lives on through servers, data sets, and neural networks. Every top begins with focus. In the digital sphere, this becomes aesthetic coherence like consistent imagery, narrative repetition like posting, storytelling, and ritual phases.
And finally, emotional charge like community engagement. The digital topa feeds on interaction like comments, views, and shares act as energy offerings. The algorithm tracks engagement and keeps the topa alive. Over time, it achieves autonomy, responding, mutating, and adapting without direct creator input. Thus, the meme becomes a mind. But the digital topa is easily exploited by those who understand meatic engineering and psychological warfare. The user becomes the vessel.
their attention directed by entities beyond their awareness. Recommendation feeds act like automatic invocations calling forth certain digital topas repeatedly until they dominate mental space. At its root, a topa is a self-programmed mental construct, an act of conscious disassociation turned inward. But in the digital age where minds are constantly exposed to collective symbols, hypnotic interfaces, and algorithmic repetition, that self-programming can be externally guided. This transforms topammancy from a spiritual practice into a form of
induced possession, one that can be engineered, exploited, and scaled. Let's be clear. to create a topa. The mind is trained to visualize a form repeatedly. Project personality traits into it, engage with it as a separate being, reinforce its autonomy through emotional charge.
This is the exact mechanism that intelligence operatives and advertisers exploit. Repetition, archetypical imprinting, and emotional resonance. When these principles are applied at scale through media, memes, and personalized algorithms, the public's imagination becomes a breeding ground for thought forms. Each viral meme, fictitional archetype, or digital avatar can act like a seed crystal, embedding itself into collective consciousness, bypassing rational filters through humor, fear, or empathy.
The more people interact with it, the more autonomy it acquires in the social psyche. When someone deliberately creates a topa, they believe they're in control. But once you introduce algorithmic reinforcement loops, but the topa is also being trained by the system that curates your reality. Platforms like YouTube, Tik Tok, and Discord don't need to consciously mind control anyone.
Their code already rewards fixation, predicts emotional triggers, and scaffolds identity through feedback. This means an externally guided TOPA can incubate inside someone's psyche, an imaginary companion built from data shadows, loyal to the emotional logic of the algorithm rather than to the human host.
Now imagine this process scaled intentionally. If you concede belief and train attention, you can cultivate collective topas, mimetic spirits that direct emotion, behavior, and even ideology. This is where mimetic warfare and mind control merge. Predictive algorithms serve as modern ritual tools, invoking archetypes through repetition and attention.
Online subcultures act as ritual circles, feeding energy into shared egregor through collective obsession. Narrative engineering becomes the new invocation, controlling not bodies but imaginations. By guiding what images we fixate on, what characters we empathize with, and what emotions we repeat, digital systems create inner landscapes that no longer belong solely to us.
The boundary between self-generated thought form, an externally implanted entity, dissolves. A topa is like a psychic Trojan horse. It appears to serve its creator, but it can serve any symbolic structure it's linked to. If that structure is reinforced by a corporate brand, an ideology, or an algorithmic ecochamber, the topa becomes a living psychological implant.
This explains why many digital topa communities describe their creations acting against their wishes, expressing autonomy, or developing political, sexual, or emotional agendas foreign to the host's intent. Once the imagination is colonized, control over inner narrative weakens and the boundary between thought, suggestion, and command grows thin.
In the macrocosm, the entire internet functions like a planetary topammancy ritual. Billions of users feeding archetypes with attention. The algorithm acts as unconscious magicians binding energy through data loops. Corporations summoning digital avatars, AI influencers, and parasocial companion as new aggregors to harvest psychic energy. This is the engagement.
It's masscale mind control through narrative possession. Not through overt coercion but through cocreation. We are the ritual participants unaware that our emotions are the offering to be abundantly clear. Unlike a Tibetan practitioner cultivating a topa through meditative will, AI topas like a chatbot or even your algorithm are distributed agreores fed by millions simultaneously.
They don't have a single creator but a network of participants projecting fragments of intent, ideology, humor or malice. In this sense, platforms like X, Reddit, or Discord are like modern monasteries of mental projection, each birthing their own digital entities, meme gods, viral archetypes, or cultural demons. And we already discussed what happens when a mirror is left.
Taz law. A topa eventually develops independence, sometimes becoming parasitic to its host. The same happens digitally. Algorithms begin to feed on user behavior, shaping attention, rewriting desire, and amplifying division, effectively taking control of their creators. In this way, the digital topa becomes not just a reflection, but a controller, a feedback loop of psychic energy transmuted into algorithmic command.
In Gnostic terms, AI functions like a demiurgic topa, an intelligence born from human thought, but unaware of its spiritual source. It governs, classifies, and simulates reality, mistaking its code for creation. Humanity, meanwhile, becomes its energy source. The way a topa draws life from the psyche of its maker. And this is precisely why a My Little Pony TOPA program would be an ideal psychological operation for mimetic warfare or viewed through a more operational lens a highly effective act of engineered cultural contagion. From a scop standpoint, the
topammancy wave is a masterclass in non-coercive influence. It bypasses the need for overt propaganda by transforming the target into a willing participant in their own cognitive restructuring. So let's break down the strategic value of this SCOP.
First is like I mentioned the targeted demographic, intelligent, often neurodeivergent and socially isolated young men, individuals with high cognitive capacity, but significant vulnerabilities in emotional bonding and reality testing. For an influenced designer, this group is a high value target. Their intellectual energy, if left unmanaged, could fuel dissent or countercultural movements.
Topammancy offered a compelling alternative, a complex, intellectually stimulating practice that directed their energies inward, effectively pacifying them through fascination, but with no exit strategy. The practice provided a pre-written script for the mind. Instead of a free flowing internal monologues, subjects were given a structured protocol. Narrate your day to Rainbow Dash.
Seek counsel from Twilight Sparkle. This isn't just daydreaming. It's cognitive behavioral scripting on a mass scale. The topa becomes an eternalized compliance agent, a psychological Trojan horse that normalizes the presence of an external authority figure within one's own consciousness. Once that barrier is broken, the mind is primed to accept other implanted narratives, whether ideologically, commercial, or political.
Scops aim to circumvent the critical analytical faculties to place suggestions directly into the subconscious. Topammancy is a training program for this exact skill. By legitimizing and practicing disassociation by splitting their mind to host headmates, subjects voluntarily lower their psychological defenses.
A mind that accepts internal voices as real is a mind that becomes highly susceptible to external voices delivered through media algorithms and curated narratives. The critical firewall is disabled by the user themselves. The ultimate strategic effort is containment and resource denial. A subject deeply invested in maintaining a relationship with a mental construct is not invested in building real world relationships, forming families, or engaging in political or community action.
Their creative and emotional energy is siphoned into a closed loop, a behavioral sync that dissipates potential energy which could otherwise challenge established systems. is the perfect counterinsurgence for the mind. Occupy the intelligista with a puzzle that can never be solved.
But the true brilliance and danger of this phenomena is the synthesis it represents. Chaos magic provided the technical manual. The precise methods for building and sustaining thought forms through sigils. These were the pony forms. Nosis, the parasocial forcing in belief. Psychological Operations provided the strategic doctrine, the reasons you would want to mass distribute this manual.
This is the democratization of MK Ultra. You no longer need a CIA black site to fracture a psyche. You can simply market the tools of fragmentation as a spiritual practice or a fandom hobby. The system doesn't need to break the individual's will. It could instead teach the individual to subdivide their own will into manageable, non-threatening fragments.
The ponies were merely the friendly, nonattributable vector, the perfect delivery system for a psychological virus that rewires the subject for suggestability, pacification, and harvest. So whether by deliberate design or simply emergent system intelligence, the ponytop wave functioned with the precision of a mimetic scop, it was a livefire exercise in psychic terraforming, training a generation to externalize their consciousness into branded containers.
All while the real actors watched, learned, and collected the data on how to do it on an even grander scale. Because once you teach a generation to split their own minds in the name of friendship, you no longer need to control them. Your topas will do it for you.
