in an episode of monster talk doctoral student of tibetan studies said this about the symbol "Natasha: This wasn’t the first time we had come across tulpa. Joe and I are fans of the show Supernatural. One of the earlier seasons before it jumped the shark, they were hunting a creature and it ended up being a tulpa. It was funny to me as a Tibetanist, because they lead up and they say, “Oh, somebody drew this Tibetan symbol in the house which called the tulpa forth and it grew strong on the energy of all this belief.”
The Tibetan symbol that they were drawing is actually a [nagee-com-ee 00:16:37] it’s a simple little single syllable that acts as topicalizer, a colon. I remember at that time thinking, “That’s funny, they just took a colon and put it up there and said, “Oh look at this great Tibetan symbol.”
I was quite surprised when a couple months ago Joe said, “You know those tulpas, they’re back.”"

So...if Tulpa is something that exists because we believe in it. Can Santa Clause exist? Can Santa's evil brother exist? Can Twilight vampires exist? Wow, they really need restrictions on this thing...people can go nuts...
They could solve a lot of problems with this--they just need to draw the symbol somewhere, spread a story among a bunch of religious people about a weapon that can kill all demons, even Lucifer (or Amara or whatever), and voila, you have an easy-access weapon that can kill Lucifer.
