Quote:In Tibetan Buddhism and later traditions of mysticism and the paranormal, a tulpa is a materialized being or thought-form, typically in human form, that is created through spiritual practice and intense concentration. Modern practitioners, who call themselves "tulpamancers", use the term to refer to a type of willed imaginary friend which practitioners consider to be sentient and relatively independent.

Quote: 
You turn to the weather channel and hear the meteorologist talking about a storm brewing at sea. He makes a point about “the eye of the storm” and you wonder how storms suddenly have human features. What gives?
 
“The eye of the storm” is one example of the personification of weather. Humans have personified natural phenomena for millennia. It may have originally allowed people to understand the causes and features of things like forest fires and thunderstorms. Over time, natural events took on human-like personas in a number of polytheistic religions. Storm gods could be benevolent or malicious, much like humans. From the earliest times to the present day, storm gods have occupied a place at the heart of religious traditions across the globe.

Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smoke-stacks and antennae crown the cities!...

Are the gods really Tulpa (thought forms?)

I honestly believe as previously mentioned the folks would try to rationalize what they didn't understand or couldn't beleive and associate it with something they knew couldn't be explained. 
For example:  The sky above was warm, bright and inviting.  Assocate that with "Good"
The ground below is cold, dark and dense. Associate that with "Bad".

Heaven =- Good
Hell = Bad

Above and Below.  Ying and Yang.

Now look at that tribe discovered after WW2 (if memory serves correct) that with 0 contact with modern society, erected an effigy in the shape of a plane because they once saw one flying overhead.  
To them it was a mortal being sent to be worshipped.  To us it was Oceanic flight 815, on it's way to destiny, lol
