OmbraFear

As I'm not very far into the process, I am not able to project my tulpa into the real world. I do, however, visit Kelta in our wonderland many times throughout the day. So far I've only gotten slight emotional responses from her, but I can tell that she really enjoys my company.

Well, nearly everywhere that I have looked has said to expect sentience from day 1. /shrug I would prefer for my Tulpa to be a companion of sorts, rather than someone to butt heads with. But to each his own, I guess.

So... my first update, I guess. About a week ago, I began my first forcing session. While I knew to not expect much progress then (and by that I mean next to nothing), I was surprised to notice that my experience seemed a bit different from that which some beginners have stated earlier in the thread. While some people said that they felt like they were talking to thin air, I felt like there was someone already next to me silently listening to what I had to say. In addition to this, from day 1 I had felt a dull pressure flicker on and off at the top of my forehead (and sometimes on the side of my head as well). I find this to be interesting, because most people have said that it took them at least a few days to begin feeling any sort of pressure. As I continued to force each day, the pressure in my head started to feel more... I guess you could say "pressured" and constant. This cycle continued (and still continues as I type this), and I was beginning to feel very confident and certain that I had what it takes to successfully create a close companion with whom I can share my thoughts and emotions. My experience earlier in the day had cemented those beliefs that were beginning to form. Throughout the week, when I had forced as well as just plain narration, I had no name to give my Tulpa. While just saying "you" had helped at the beginning of my sessions, I began to feel as though it was unfair for her to be considered real and have no name with which to be known as. I spent most of my day thinking of the perfect name to fit her personality. I had bounced back and forth with different ideas that never seemed to fit, when a stray thought entered my mind. I had always been interested in the concept of "treasure", as I found that the base idea of a reward at the end of a difficult journey to be intriguing. When the concept had crossed my mind, I instantly compared the difficult journey to the process of creating a Tulpa. This then led to the thought that if the process of creating a Tulpa was the journey, then maybe having a Tulpa would be the treasure. While I was entertaining these thoughts, I had decided to take a walk outside. During the walk, I had passed much flora without giving it a second thought. This was until that second thought did in fact come. I live with the philosophy that all life is a journey, and if all life is a journey then shouldn't there be a treasure at the end of it? Trees have life, even if they are not sentient beings. While they would not be able to claim this treasure, there would be other lives that could easily retrieve it once it came to be. This treasure my friends, as I'm sure that some of you had figured out, would be amber. Amber is created through the resin of extinct species of trees and can be very valuable. If you think about it, it is indeed a treasure at the end of the great journey of life. ...and so to end the story, I'm going to explain just what I did after this thought came to me... ... ... ...I basically just went on Babylon and looked up what amber would be called in different languages. So, yeah! Everybody, my Tulpa's official name is now Kelta (or Kel for short) as Keltainen is the Finnish form of the word. When I told her that was what her name was going to be, the pressure that I felt in my head became more intense than it ever had before. I just took that as a sign that she really liked that name (as well as the idea that I consider her to be a treasure worth acquiring). I have a question for the others in this thread now. Just what was your Tulpa(e)'s reaction to being given their name?

@Yosef von Uzenvard, Thanks for all of the information! It's really going to help me out a whole bunch. Also, are there any factors that I should take into consideration during my sessions (environment, music, etc.)?

So I had just found this thread earlier today (I have no idea how I had missed it for so long). The idea of creating my own Tulpa is very interesting to me, and I might try my first session of Tulpaforcing soon. I'll check out as many guides as I can, but is there any advice that you all can give someone who is just starting out?
