Sounds like bullshit made to hide or obfuscate a similar concept or word, a decoy. It has all the cult-like features of an autonomous self propelling cultural manifestation (with purpose unknown).
These being: dubious reliance on eastern or mystical religious connection, fan-based growth mechanisms, blurry definition, 'mind' and 'brain' interest hooks for people worried about their intelligence to latch on. They are the ugly cousins of ARGs.
It is unlikely to have been made by accident, so it must have a purpose and a creator with intent behind it.
My guess is that the whole thing is made to work on a single word, either to promote it, hide it or change its meaning over time.
It has autonomous defenses (the creator(s) could claim it as a joke or misunderstanding), it has propagating parallell beliefs (the "typing" tulpa as an analog for muscular memory), etc. You acted to defend it using one of its autonomous mechanisms, unwillingly perhaps (it preys on the inability of some to perceive its parts as distinct pieces, you only saw the new age stuff outside).
It seems highly engineered, but not sophisticated enough to be completely invisible.
I don't know, I never read that manual. Not particularly curious to do so.
I am talking about autonomous cultural mechanisms. I cannot correlate it with works from another author.
The "dillution by correlation" is also a kind of autonomous cultural mechanism that preys on the human proneness to identify patterns. These manuals for training seem to good to be true, and if they are, too obvious to remain effective.
"Autonomous cultural mechanism" sounds like it should belong in a biology of memetics, or mind-viruses. It's unique enough that you could have coined it.
Problem is innoculation is impossible; only active "treatment" is like repeating a series of phrases or something. Reasoning through a series of affirmations.
A noteworthy aside on that is the author of that "manual" suffered a mental breakdown. Just search for it adding "reddit" on Google and you'll find the post.
