Hypnotize yourself to be a pony, links included

[Time Shield 402]

My guess is they thought it was neat, and since it's somewhat similar to the hypnosis, they figured it was about as impactful.  I doubt anyone who would decide to create a tulpa so quickly is either old enough or gave it enough thought to understand the implications. I'm 14, and I DO NOT want a tulpa.  It's dangerous, hard to make, and potentially permanent.  

 

Exactly.  I've been watching the thread for a short while now, mostly out of curiosity, but I don't have any desire to try either the hypnosis or anything involving the creation of a tulpa.  I like my mind the way it is, thank you very much.

 

I guess part of me is also kind of worried about any potential backlash all this might have on the fandom.  By that I mean, worst case scenario: if someone in a hypnosis state does something wrong or something happens to them, it somehow makes national news, people get the wrong idea and blame the show itself, and both media pressure and angry letters force Hasbro to cancel the series.  (That almost happened with the Slenderman mythos recently, after two girls involved in a stabbing tried to blame it on Slenderman, so don't discount it as impossible.)

 

To me, watching this thread is like watching a car speed along at twice the speed limit of the road: interesting to watch and even impressive in many regards, but constantly in fear that I'm going to witness a terrible crash.

To answer your questions in order from my last post

1. My mind is fine

2. I understand she has feelings I didn't mean pet so much as I meant a very close friend. I have no clue why I said pet.

3. It's too late I have started. She went from my Hypnopony to my 2nd personality to my tulpa. She may have been a tulpa the whole time. I don't think she was ever my 2nd personality.

Finally this is an update about her. I feel as if she is mad as I have read Rainbow Factrory to the end.

She made me stop halfway but I kept going.

Dont tell me not to

Its too late!

I have a tulpa and there is no going back!

Well there is...but I don't want to do that....its sad

[Time Shield 402]

I'm probably just overreacting.  Ignore me.

 

*EDIT* I mean the last post I made about potential show backlash, not the one about careful consideration when it comes to tulpas.

I suppose the comment about the potential backlash was a bit harsh.  Also, I assure you hypnosis is much safer than tulpae, as it is easily reversible, is not permanent, and you're in control of it the whole time.  It's fine if you don't want to try it, but it's not about to make you jump off a building thinking you can fly.

I've always thought tulpae to be safer, as since you're working on another mind rather than yours, if you mess up only the still undeveloped tulpa will be "damaged", and you can still fix it or abort everything while your mind and perceptions remain untouched.

While hypnosis puts you at risk of hooflock, uncontrolled switches, and all those scary side effects :v

 

 

As for tonight's report, I got texted mid session by a quite important person tonight. The text not only stopped the file halfway through, but also started a domino effect of memories, thoughts and hypothesis that hindered my trance in the next attempt. However, there's been a bit of progress, but nothing worth writing.

Actually, both are dangerous if you are not careful with either. Just like hypnosis, raising a tulpa is /not/ a game, it's life. 

 

Think about having to raise a child but for some reason you don't want it anymore. You cannot just take it and give it to someone else, it's stuck with you for life.

Tulpae are in your head as well, and as they're like a mind within a mind, that raises too many moral quandaries: is it moral to destroy a consciousness, even if you created it?  Not to mention the potential permanence of them.  As for the hypnotic side-effects, they can either be banished at any time, or eliminated completely with the reset file, whereas tulpae stick with you.  But COME ON! This is the hypnosis thread!  I think we should stop talking about tulpae.

Totally doing an applejack hypno session.

 

How did it go? I personally didn't really like the Applejack one. I think I'm gonna go all "AWWWW YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" and do Vinyl. I would do Pinkie/Octavia but I want a Horn/Wings...

 

We are a strange bunch in this thread...  Spontaneous tulpa forming is supposed to be a rare occcurence, yet we got 2 here...

Would one of those ponies be me?

[GlowingFlask 2,356]

Well, you said you were developping one and since this is an internet forum, I can't really check the claim myself so I have to believe you.

 

So you and Blue makes 2. We also have at least one person with a fully developped intentional tulpa.

 

 

Man, I'm really bad at going into trance. My body does it, but my mind just go wander elsewhere...

Me aswell

However my tulpa is not done.

So there is still a turn back point. I shall reset.

If I want her as a tulpa then I will try again.

TO THE RESET FILE!

DUNANANAN!!

Actually, I think I might have a tulpa. I was curious to see if the hypnosis actually worked, so I tried it the other night. Well, I'll let her introduce herself.

 

Rarity: Why hello there, everypony. And how are we all this evening?

Unfortunately, being the internet, there is absolutely no way to verify your claim, and considering you only tried the hypnosis once (as I take it from your post), I'm going to say, "no".  I don't think that you actually have a tulpa.  If you do, I'm sorry, but try to see that from my perspective, it's far-fetched.

[it's curious to see all these tulpas popping up...]

 

Ariel (my own tulpa that I did intentionally create, for those of you that don't know) has a point. I'm seeing everyone talking about tulpas now and... You do know that it takes time and effort to make one, right? You don't just do one hypnosis session or have one little thought and, poof, a tulpa appears. I'm wondering if some people are simply trying to hop onto the bandwagon here...

[Overdrive 5,366]

I don't know what the hell I have then. She's in my head, and she can function a bit through me. I don't know what to make of it.

When exactly did she show up?

[Overdrive 5,366]

Not long after I did the hypnosis files a few times. Actually, she showed up the morning after. I fell asleep after doing them (It was 2 AM), and I woke up, said the phrase, and she was there, and hasn't left since.

Oh boy then that means SHE WAS NEVER IN MY HEAD!!

I felt as if a great force has been lifted off my head.

I will still reset though just in case.

So I will try to make an RD TULPA!!!

Only  cuz I want somepony to hang with.

Strange......  Perhaps since you went into the hypnosis with the knowledge of Brony Pride's experience, you subconsciously expected that, and thus it happened.  Did you want a tulpa?

[Brony Pride 67]

So that means I gave away all my secrets....

INTENTIONALLY!!!
Oh yeah thats right I think I did....

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY SHE WAS NEVER HERE!!!!

Hang with someone real, maybe?

A little bit... I just wanted to see if any hypnosis would actually work on me. Odd thing is, she's really grown on me since then.

Are you sure you want to keep her?

|okay, from what that sound like, it is likely a tulpa. trust me on this, i developed in a similar way.|

[Overdrive 5,366]

Yes and no, because I have developed some "habits," but at the same time, I'm hesitant to get rid of her, and maybe try another pony.
