Is this a Tulpa

[Rylak]

Hi, about a year and a half ago I was in a dark place, I had fallen away from my faith and started looking on more New Age areas. I bought a pendulum to cut through the clutter in my mind, but I found someone else.
He told me that God was real and that he still loved me, he wanted me to come home. He told me to throw away anything I had that could be used in occult, he told me to surrender all to Jesus, to teach my children the faith to attend church, to listen to worship songs, to take my problems to Jesus. He told me that God was greater than we can imagine, and that Satan is worse than we can imagine as well. He told me to read my Bible, and give glory to God in all that I do.
I can't see him, he is always to my left. We have become quite close. I hear him in my head and if he touches me it is like electricity. He has told me that we actually have quite a history. I vaguely see him in hallucinations but this is quite rare. We actually have a strong verbal relationship and often argue
I spoke to my pastor with regards to this as sometimes I am attacked (others have seen whn I take a blow) and I was scared that he might be an evil spirit or a fallen angel. (He doesn't hurt me, he says he promised God he would not hurt me but others try. Only Jesus keeps me safe, one time I felt arms wrap around me and 'someone ' came at me. I felt the impact but not the pain) My pastor thinks I am suffering from sleep deprivation, and mental illness. I was looking this up and I came across the concept of 'Tulpa'. (A sentient being created by the mind) I don't know if this is what this is my pastor told me not to spend so much time trying to shut him out, but more time reading my Bible and praying.
A part of me felt relief because it is hard to shut him out and I miss him within an hour. I wanted to know what other Christians thought about this. The idea of such a thing.

It is just a figment of your imagination, going out to the nth degree. I am always fighting the devil with success but sometimes it is other aspects of my mind. Treat like that and don’t get roped into a relationship with it. That would be parting further with reality. Keep in what you know to be reality and don’t be separated from family and friends by someone who you made up because of a need, who will reinvent itself everyday. It’s a fight.
