The name "tullah" on the forums made me think of the word "Tulpa" which I have always been interested in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulpa
It is said that Tibetan monks would get together and "think" a person into being, this person manifested from nonphysical, would be called a Tulpa.
"Inasmuch as the mind creates the world of appearances, it can create any particular object desired. The process consists of giving palpable being to a visualization, in very much the same manner as an architect gives concrete expression in three dimensions to his abstract concepts after first having given them expression in the two-dimensions of his blue-print. The Tibetans call the One Mind's concretized visualization the Khorva (Hkhorva), equivalent to the Sanskrit Sangsara; that of an incarnate deity, like the Dalai or Tashi Lama, they call a Tul-ku (Sprul-sku), and that of a magician a Tul-pa (Sprul-pa), meaning a magically produced illusion or creation. A master of yoga can dissolve a Tul-pa as readily as he can create it; and his own illusory human body, or Tul-ku, he can likewise dissolve, and thus outwit Death. Sometimes, by means of this magic, one human form can be amalgamated with another, as in the instance of the wife of Marpa, guru of Milarepa, who ended her life by incorporating herself in the body of Marpa."
So it sounds like mastering or creating tulpas is part of ascension. From what I understand about tulpas, its not just an illusion. As the monks thought a real man into existence, not just an illusion of a man.
I would love to hear all of your thoughts...
