Nah, see that's the part you have to understand if you ever really hope to make sense of this stuff. Spirits, ghosts, djinn, daemons, angels; it's all real. You don't make them up. They allow people to think they "made them up" if that makes em feel more comfortable or in control, but in truth, God made all this stuff up, and no one else.

Tulpas, for instance. It's all a trick. You only think you're creating it because the conception already resides in your subconscious, but in reality it's actually being pushed to the surface by the entity itself.
