Tulpa Discussion Thread V1.2

[Adachi 772]

I know this was posted a year ago*, but...dafuq? This seems like a more plausible version of the infamous creepypasta (Now I'm worrying that my tulpa will go down a slippery slope, even as she shakes her head and points to the Element of Loyalty). I'm thinking that Crepuscule was going for a sort of "don't do bad thing X, or bad thing Y'll happen" thing, in which case, might I offer these words of wisdom from Inception? "Positive emotion trumps negative emotion".

 

*Sorry for the necro. I was rereading the thread after reading about psychology**, so I guess I'm in a "psychologist" mood and figured I'd give my two cents.

**Speaking of psychology, I'd be happy to do an interview over PMs, if anyone's interested in trying to prove tulpas to the average person. I'm not sure what good that would do, it's just a whim I had. [He hasn't even planned the questions yet  ]

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to make tulpas too mainstream. Although it would be nice for people to not think I'm crazy when talking about them. I pretty much stopped talking about tulpas anyway (although that's mainly because nothing major has happened in a while).

So, I kind of...

...procrastinated...

...a lot...

But that's it ! I start today !

I'm already revising the personality traits I made some time ago. First forcing session tonight !

Yeah, I don't know if Rizoel exaggerates it but Crepuscule is very, very weird. But this doesn't seem impossible.

 

EDIT : Sigh... I can't even respect promises I make to myself...

Tomorrow, I swea- gets shot.

I still don't really get how it's even possible to make those tulpa's work out :/

Metaphysics. If you believe it's working out then it is  .

 

Not really, but the human mind is an amazing thing.

Best of luck forcing!

Well, it's pretty debatable how these tulpas are possible. A psychological phenomenon to some is a metaphysical phenomenon to others. We don't have much scientific research backing us yet, so believe what you will as I can do next to nothing to prove tulpas to you.

Oh you have no idea how long and how much I procrastinate. I still get heat for it XD

 

all day, every day ._.

Finally, first forcing session !

I have about 30 personality traits. I put on some relaxing music and started talking to Zephyr (As in, the wind. I find that to be a beautiful name). I used the "energy orb" method as I am not sure of her form yet (Probably a pony, maybe a Pegasus ?)

I explained to her who she was, and described each of her traits.

However, I think I need to practice a little with that, I can only do a minute per trait.

I explained to her that she was free to change anything she wanted if she didn't like it.

 

I'll have sessions every night before sleeping, since I don't really have another option, and start narration after the fourth out fifth one.

How is it going for other people in the thread ?

Crepuscule rocks! :3

And yeah, she is a bit different, but I always enjoyed reading their stories. ^.^ My tulpa wishes she could meet her. I wonder how are they doing now..

Ditching? Haha, that's a term I've not heard. I like it

Looks like you're off to a good start! Best of luck to you and Zephyr, I'm certain it'll all go well for the both of you ^.^

Dammit, no amount of spellchecking can protect me from the Swype keyboard

 

I did another session today, and I'm starting to have slight pressures around the back of my head, and they seem to keep the same spot... That may be just me, but it could be a small sign ?

Definitely. I've heard that head pressures are a tulpa's attempt to communicate before becoming vocal. I know I had some head pressures when I first started forcing.

[Stancet 689]

I tend to get this warm feeling in my chest. My tulpa, Shining Star, has a loving personality and when I ask for a hug to help me concentrate I actually feel it. 

 

Still kinda skeptical though, cuz I'm only a week into this and progress is slow and I'm impatient to know when she'll have full sentience.

Being impatient is fine. Rushing through things isnt.

 

Although a week is kinda short, its perfectly possible that it is your tulpa, maybe write things down in a journal so you compare how you feel over time.

Believe it or not, that's exactly what I'm doing. Maybe one day when tulpae get more main-stream attention my journal will prove useful to scientific studies.

I wish I had started my journal when I started making Vinyl. Back then I was all like 'Fuck that, ima go in, this will be easy.'

 

Nowadays I get confused on what ive done and havent done. Sometimes backtracking and losing progress. Ive started keeping one though, even if it is a bit late

I was at a dance that seemed kind of like a small-scale rave. I noticed that the color-changing lights seemed like a hypnotic induction method, then wondered if my Ponysona liked parties/dancing. I saw my tulpa dancing, went out onto the dance floor, and the way I see it, she possessed me to bust a move. Do you ponies think that going on the dance floor was implied consent, or just me getting in touch with my Ponysona (even though it's supposed to just be me as a Pegasus).

[Stancet 689]

Maybe you subconsciously wanted to dance and your tulpa was just helping you do it.

Generally, tulpas cannot possess unless given complete consent by the host or if the host is in a fully relaxed state (which would be hard at a party). I don't know much about 'Ponysona's' or even what they are, but it seems you just wanted to dance and maybe the tulpa gave you a little nudge to do so.

[KruegerMeister 54]

I know that the question of size has been brought up, but I'm not sure if it was ever figured out how tall ponies were compared to humans. I know that there are tons of height comparisons, several of which put ponies at around 3 or 4 ft, but there are also one or two (as far as I can tell) that put ponies at about chest height.

[Kurai 304]

It all depends on how big you want them to. If they themselves wish to be bigger or smaller they will deviate usually.

Your choice about the height, put them at whatever feels the most natural for both of you.

Quick question :

Wonderlands- I get how you create them, but what do you do in them if your tulpa doesn't have a form of vocality yet ?

I tried yesterday but didn't know what to do and ended up falling asleep...

Same way you'd create a tulpa, through imagination. Think up a place, any place you want. A city, a house, a forest, the moon... Anything! Imagine yourself in that place. The details don't all have to be clear, as that will come with time. Just.. Be there. Walk around a bit, explore. Build it up as you please. Keep visiting it as often as possible, trying to make it more vivid, more real. There, now you have a wonderland.

 

What to do in the wonderland? Anything you want. It can be a place for you to force personality, or visualization practice, or to narrate. You can explore the world with your tulpa, going swimmng or skating or anything. What you do is entirely up to you and your tulpa, the only limit is your creativity.

[Stancet 689]

A Quick Question of My Own:

 

I'm over ten hours into my first tulpa. Given, I know I must be patient but has anyone else felt like it was all a lost cause when you first attempted it? Shining Star is a nice pony tulpa but I feel like I'm nothing but terrible to her with my sucky attention span and concentration problems.

[Pareidolia 13]

Yes, it did feel like a lose cause, and it took about 1.5 years to even get a response with constant narration. Don't compare your progress with others. I understand that this is a hard thing to do, but you'll keep expecting stuff to happen within a certain time frame if you keep that up. Keep on going, man.
