This quick description is somewhat outdated in light of recent discoveries and research findings, but it's not wrong.

First of all, even though wikipedia is becoming more reputable as time goes on, it still wouldn't be my first choice when it comes to finding hard facts.

Second, the best way to learn something is to experience it for yourself. It's that mindset that got me where I am today, happy with my tulpas and constructs. If you seriously sit down and do this, it will work. What have you got to lose?

Lastly, an alternate personality is nowhere near the same as a tulpa, which is described quite accurately here both in what it is and how to go about creating one, and extra credit for putting tulpa.info as the refference/source for some/all of this information. That's where I learned all about it and recorded my own experiences.

An alternate personality could never do the things a tulpa could unless you were schizophrenic. In which case, this personality could very well be considered a tulpa as well if it could be described exatly the same way because recent findings show that a tulpa could very well be created spontaneously or subconsciously, as was the case with one of mine. After I learned about the whole tulpa thing and created my first, she manifested herself, her being a personification of my anima. The end result is a personification of my anima, manifested in tulpa form, who has become one of my best friends in existence.

As I said before, give it a serious try. It will work. If anything on this wiki is to be believed, it's this. And think of it this way: You say a tulpa is translated to mean to build or construct, one of the mental abilities discussed on this very site is constructs or forms like organisms made of programmed energy, energy which is mainly credited as psi when dealing with these specific abilities, psi being energy created and manipulated by the mind, so a tulpa could also be defined as a construct and thus is a highly advanced and programmed entity created and controlled by your mind which has gained sentience the same way you or any person has.
