Fruits of the contemplative life

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Agents are to browse the internet for mentions of ''Tulpas'' and meet them with skepticism. Containment of affected people is not necessary, as SCP-XXXX-2 cannot pose a harm on SCP-XXXX-1 nor their environment. If any personnel experiencing SCP-XXXX wish to help us understand it better, they are to contact researcher Dr. R█████.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon where a person (SCP-XXXX-1, usually referred to as the host) creates a sentient entity (SCP-XXXX-2) that has varying degrees of autonomy over the host's body. This concept can be found in an early Buddhist text, the Samannaphala Sutta. It lists the ability to create a ''mind-made body''as one of the ''fruits of the contemplative life''.

SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 can communicate, and they see eachother as friends in every recorded case so far. After a lot of practice (and with the host's permission) SCP-XXXX-2 can
control the limbs, or in rare cases the entire body too.

Experiment XXXX-01: During a psychological evaluation after being part of an experiment with SCP-████ it was discovered that D-1458 is a host for SCP-XXXX. D-1458 is instructed to create a second SCP-XXXX-2. After two weeks D-1458 reports that he was unsuccessful, and that SCP-XXXX-2 expressed frustration and jealousy towards him during those two weeks.
Experiment XXXX-02: D-1462 is instructed to create an SCP-XXXX-2 with a personality different than his. D-1462 reports success 3 weeks later. Dr.████ suggested using SCP-158 on D-1462. Procedure completed without complications. The extracted substance has a bright purple color.
Note: Interesting, before this experiment SCP-158 extracted a blue substance from him. More research is required to verify, but this implies that SCP-XXXX-2 merges with the host's consciousness.-Dr. R█████.
