Benjamin Grundy: 我认为超人这个角色不仅仅是一个虚构的角色，它已经超越了纸面，变得更加真实。我开始相信，超人这个角色实际上控制着故事的走向，影响着创作者的写作。这就像超人自己决定他想出现在什么样的故事里，而不是由我们这些作者来决定。我甚至开始思考，是否有一种力量在引导着人类，而创造tulpa只是他们的方法之一。 Aaron Wright: 我也认同这种观点，我认为超人这个角色与Alvin Schwartz之间存在着某种联系。我好奇的是，当Alvin Schwartz去世后，这种与他联系在一起的形式是否也随之消失了。我开始思考，这些实体是否会影响人类，他们是否会形成自己的思想，甚至干预人类的事务。这让我感到非常震惊。

Shownotes Transcript

What if one of the most iconic characters in pop culture wasn’t just a fictional hero, but a living archetype, an entity with its own will, forged in the minds of millions and fed by the imagination of its creators?

Legendary comic book writer Alvin Schwartz thought his time with Superman was long over. But when a mysterious seven-foot-tall monk appeared at his doorstep claiming to be a tulpa, Schwartz was thrown into a mind-bending journey through the strange borderlands of reality and fiction. The monk, calling himself Thongden, insisted he was real… and fading. And he needed Schwartz to keep him alive.

In this season finale, we explore the metaphysical memoir An Unlikely Prophet, uncovering Schwartz’s hidden memories of psychic events, spontaneous channeling, and paranormal influences that began the moment he took on the mantle of Superman’s writer. We hear bizarre tales of supernatural inspiration involving Jackson Pollock, mystic paintings of Hindu deities, and even a Hawaiian shaman who claims Tulpa Superman once saved the islands from volcanic doom.

Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the chilling Soviet archives of anomalous underwater encounters—where submariners report collisions with invisible crafts, stone spheres ramming hulls, and USOs that defy radar and reason. We follow the trail of Russian researcher Mikhail Gerstein into lakes and oceans where strange entities dwell beneath the surface, including terrifying run-ins from elite “hydronauts” who may have seen things no one was meant to survive.
