In episode 5 of Talking Backwards, we’re looking at a concept called Plurality of the mind, where through meditation one could possibly achieve a second separate, sentient consciousness. One community in particular has embraced this thought; through practice, devotion, and meditation, tulpamancers conjure these auxiliary personalities for many reasons- and some are finding it has the potential to treat some of the hardest to treat mental illnesses and disabilities we have today.

We speak with Jacob, a tulpamancer and researcher who has published research on the subject, and see how tulpamancy has positively impacted his life.
