Tulpa Discussion Thread V1.2

[Victoria and Co. 782]

Actually, it works perfectly if you can manage to develop a story arc. Then, you have a decent antagonist.

 

Well, yeah, but that's not what I was referring to. :/

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

Well, yeah, but that's not what I was referring to. :/

 

Oh, now I see what you mean. Yeah, for those purposes... not very useful at all. Again, my apologies.

[Derpy Dash 233]

It's not possible to have a complete canon pony Tulpa. It would cause identity issues which could cause harm to it.

 

Unless you were just talking about the appearance, in which case it would be fine as long as it has a different personality and allowed to deviate.

 

Ah, I see. But making a Tulpa of something like an OC is fine, right?

 

And it seem like most of the people here have one, are they hard to make, or just take a lot of time and patience?

[Mr. House 0]

I tried tulpaforcing last night and it didn't go as good as I had intended. Had tried three times, once an hour for three hours. and was finally able to fully focus and begin on the 3rd try. I wanted the session to last for at least an hour but I was only able to do 42 minutes. Not only that but I was able to cover 4 traits which seems pretty rushed to me. It felt like I didn't go far enough when a trait was described, what it was, and how it affects their personality. Does anybody have any tips on how to go more in depth when implementing traits?

[Derpy Dash 233]

What would happen if a tulpa found out it was a tulpa?

 

Also can tulpas start conversations with you, or do you have to begin the conversation?

They know everything you know. They know they are a tulpa and are fine or indifferent to it. Their your subconscious after all.

Yes, it's completely fine, as long as you don't give them like a huge background story or something.

 

It's kind of both. At the start it is hard to get into it and concentrate and stuff but after, yeah, it's a lot of time and patience.

Okay, thanks. I've already read a few guides and I'll start looking into it more, and maybe I'll have one of my own by Christmas time.

 

Oh, and do you control when they are with you? Or do they do their own thing?

Like say I was going to band practice and wanted some company, would it come on it's own or would I have to ask it if it wanted to come?

They are your subconscious, they do what your subconscious does. Your technically learning to project your subconscious in a hallucination so your can converse.

Well mine doesn't have a body it inhabits yet, but I can tell you that she comes and goes of her own accord.

 

I can like "summon" her if I want but I usually don't like to disturb her.

So you did the personality and all of that first? Are you going to do the visual part last?

 

So basically what you have now is like, where you talk to you subconscious inside your head?

 

 

All of this is so interesting...

[Chigens and Kay 3,832]

Yeah I started on personality first.

 

I'm already in the process of visualization and whatnot.

 

Well. she talks to me all the time through thoughts. She hasn't gotten to the point of full-on vocalization yet but she has spoken out loud a few times.

You do the personality first, as you slowly begin to build up the visualization. It takes a lot more to visualize than to connect to your subconscious.

[murkyx 904]

On some days my Tulpa wakes me up by nudging me or calmly telling me to wake up, and other days I wake up before my Tulpa, and I wake her up with a nudge. We try to wake up early because I do most of my Tulpa sessions in the early morning.

 

I tried tulpaforcing last night and it didn't go as good as I had intended. Had tried three times, once an hour for three hours. and was finally able to fully focus and begin on the 3rd try.

You don't have to focus TOO hard in a Tulpa sessions. Actually, the way I did it, I didn't have to really focus at all. I pretended my Tulpa was already complete, and I just talked to her. I merely went over my traits one by one, explaining to her in depth, but it was much like a very casual, one sided conversation or a lecture. And actually over time you kind of get into a sort of trance-like state naturally through this. Try that and see how well you fare.

I constructed the personality first and then with it watching, I built the body around it. And again, you do it piece by piece, starting from the ground up, as you would a sculpture.

 

And yes, it is like talking to your subconscious, but the thing is you assign it an appearance and personality, so while it has your subconscious knowledge, it will act the way you made it act.

Okay, finally made it through 34 pages of posts, several argument and quite a few amazing stories.

This literally took me all day, if you take into account that I woke up at 11am, then my internet went down for 4-5 hours plus I had to help my 10 year old cousin install a patch that didn't want to be installed. Now it's 11:30pm and I'm dead tired.

 

To the point. I'm honestly thinking about making my own tulpa. It sounds like a great idea and I'm pretty sure nothing will go wrong. I pretty much understand the basics but I do have a few questions.

 

1) School starts in a month and I'm going to be a high school senior. Now I don't know about other countries, but here in Greece this is possibly the most important year in my life as the grades I get (along with the results from my finals) decide whether or not I go to university. Anyway, the point is that I'll be studying a lot and may not have a lot of time to dedicate to my tulpa (maybe an hour tops a day, and not even every day). So, what would happen if I communicated with my tulpa so scarcely at such an early phase? Would I be preventing it's growth or anything?

 

2) This is more out of curiosity than anything else. Is it possible to create a shape shifting tupla? Or is it possible to change it's appearance after the visualization phase and once you can see it in real life?

 

3) What would happen if your tulpa wanted to follow you outside (example) but the door was closed? Would it phase through it, would you have to open it or does it depend on the tulpa?

 

4) Would it be okay to start talking to it without having a base visual or personality?

 

I know this might be a (fairly) long post but I just have so many unanswered questions (some I've forgotten after so many pages) and I want to know as much as possible before starting.

 

Anyway, though I'm not going to properly start without reading all the guides and such, I might just make a small introduction tonight introducing myself and explaining what's going to happen over the next few months (maybe years). Unless that's going over the line.

1. The growth will be slower than it would be if you had a lot of free time, but it shouldn't prevent a tulpa from being formed. Also, in the later stages of Tulpa forcing, you will be able to have your tulpa around you at all times, and just you acknowledging it's presence helps it grow. Then it may reach the point where it will even help you study.

 

2. Yes, because mine knows how to do that. I basically granted my Tulpa "magic" or more specifically, the ability to change my perception of her or things around me. The only time I regret it is when she uses it to prank me.

 

3. Tulpa's phase through physical objects with ease. A lot of the time, just to be courteous to the world around them, they prefer not, but they usually will if you close the door behind you for example.

 

4. Yes.

 

Good luck!

That's how I went about it at the start. (Though I did write down the traits first) And I didn't need to picture her either. Just choose a location where your Tulpa will be, and talk to that empty space as if there is something already there. Soon enough, something does appear there.

More greeks that what I like to see XD

 

1) Well I would say cause I know how thing work even though I am one of those guys that don't study I know how many hours my friends spend studying and after school lessons and all that So I would suggest delaying it until after finals cause things will just hecic for you and the tulpa later on.

 

2) I know you can change the shape but your tulpa must want to change too

 

3)it can go through the door

 

4)I personally started narrating from the very begining. From what I know Narrating can be started whenever you want

 

Edit: Brisinero beat me to it

I forgot that it may help you with studying and stuff well though I would still advise against it things can get pretty hectic cause especially later on in the year I know that he will neglet it a lot I had friends spending like half day studying, school and sleep Edited August 2, 2012 by Trixies Apprentice Leona

[Demiurge 108]

Thanks for the help guys! I can't wait to start!

I just need to think of what form to make him/her (possibly her) take.

After watching Death Note this afternoon I admit I found the thought of having the Shinigami Ryuk following me around, but that's not what I want. Maybe Rainbow Dash, but I would want a different voice and have a different voiced RD would be kinda wierd.... Oh well, it's looks like it's going to be an OC.

May I ask where you're from?

Just go crazy and make slenderman Tulpa they guy that will do this will get all of my internet like all of it

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

Currently, most of mine are pretty much like making sand castles when a hurricaine is breaking land. It's turning out to be difficult just spending decent amounts of time with them (2 hours among 6 tulpae... doesn't leave lots of room for development). Sure, I can create them like crazy, but developing them properly is difficult. It hinges on my actions to discover and inadvertently shape their personality.

 

I swear, this was so much easier a year ago.

Yeah, but I was great at this when I was 18. Soon as 19 hit, I hit a roadblock.

 

And I don't know why, but I always feel the need to have one tulpa that is hot.

[Driku12 64]

So I read some stuff about this, thought it sounded interesting and I've decided to make my own Tulpa. I mean, at the very least, it's a good way to get in touch with your subconscious (which is basically what a Tulpa is, I guess, lol) I started, with imagining the orb and adding traits, talking to her (I based the Tulpa off of Rainbow Dash, but slightly different personality, and she's allowed to deviate) and such. On the first session, I got the tingle in the back of my neck that everyone talks about, and I considered it a success. Then I pretty much got up to take a shower when I started getting second thoughts about the whole 'Tulpa' thing. Like, I didn't want to loose my grip on reality or anything, so I decided that I would do one more Tulpa-forcing session that day and if nothing happened besides the tingle, I would leave the whole thing alone and never speak of it again.

 

I did basically what I did the first time, telling her about her own traits and personality and such. However, I had never given her access to my thoughts before that point. I thought it would probably be a good idea to do so, and I thought that it was probably a good idea to break it to her that she's based off of a cartoon character. Basically, I did just that, however, I stressed to her that this did not mean that she WAS the character, and she is allowed to deviate from it however she liked. At this point, I started crying uncontrollably without warning, but I wasn't sad myself. I realized that she was obviously sad about basically being a fictional character, and was trying to communicate with emotions. I felt sorry for her, and in my mind, I imagined myself giving the orb of light (her) a hug. I told her it was alright, and it's okay if she deviates because I'll be satisfied with whoever she turns out to be and she'll always be apart of me. Then the crying immediately stopped and I swear to God I heard a 'thank you' in the distance.

 

Now I don't have the heart to abandon the Tulpa because I just realized that... this is a real whole other person I'm growing in my mind. It's pretty profound once you think about it, lol

AHA! I know what my tulpa will look like! I want magic, and flight would be cool, but I am not the greatest fans of Alicorns. Except I forgot I love this Alicorn.
